Sweet Summer Layout for Gina's Designs

hi there and happy summer to you ! This weekend marked the official beginning of summer in this part of the world, and I hope you're enjoying sunny skies and warm temperatures, beaches, barbecues...well, you get the picture!

When my kids were younger, we often had pool parties in the summer where they'd invite friends from school, church, or groups they belonged to, and this photo of my daughter and some girlfriends is from one of those. I used the Sweet Summer Shape set to enhance the theme, dry-embossing the pieces, then painting them with acrylic paints. I then heat-embossed them with UTEE, adding random amounts of the powder to create a water-splashed effect.

Stencilling with texture paste and popping up cutout items with foam tape created some dimension on my page, and I added a few droplets on other parts of the layout created with Faber-Castell Texture Gems to continue the water-splashed theme:

Thanks a bunch for stopping by, and whether you spend your summer days in a pool, on a beach, or wherever, I wish you a terrific one!
