Adornit Summer Blog Party & Blog Hop

This two-page layout is based on a sketch I created. I freehanded the 'water' shape. It's made using Hot Off The Press' Pool Water paper. I free-handed the lines using a Marvy marker in light teal. The orange brads are just regular large brass brads that can be found at an office supply store. I coated them with Colorbox orange pigment ink. Then coated in clear embossing powder and heat set. I repeated the ink and embossing again to add a layer to give the brad a little more solid coloring. The title is created using ColorBok's alpha die cuts. I used adhesive to attach the letters to the orange cardstock. Then I outlined the letters using a Zig 005 marker. Finally, I cut out the title using both X-Acto knife and scissors.  This was inspired by Kristina Werner's Thank You card which you can see here. The background stripe paper is from an 8-sheet Sunny Days Collection scrapbooking paper set found in the dollar section of Target stores. I placed a self-adhesive 8 1/2 x 11 vellum sheet under the water element and title.  Enjoy.
