A Perfect Summer Rafting Layout

Hi there!  I'm back to share another project I have that up on Lori Whitlock's blog!  I'm still on a summer kick so for my layout today I used more of the"Perfect Summer" collection she designed for Echo Park along with several of her cutting files!

I ended up using (2) 6x6 papers from the coordinating paper pad for my background.  I love how the prints are reduced in size to work perfectly for what I had in mind.  For my title I paired Lori's "adventure" phrase with some older Cocoa Daisy stamps by Ali Edwards and a fish sticker from the collection.

I also used the smaller prints from the 6x6 pad to cut my flip flops which worked well.  I wanted the water flourish to stand out against the background so I chose to journal on vellum which gave a subtle washed out look to the patterned paper below.  As a finishing touch I added Stardust Stickles (by Ranger) to the water flourish and openings in my diecut border.

To create my layout I used the following cutting files designed by Lori:
Don't Bother Me (flip flops)
4 Seasons Layout: Spring (flower for flip flops)
Cute Umbrella (for splashes- Silhouette Store only)
'Water' Flourish (Silhouette store only)
'Big Adventure' Phrase (Silhouette store only)
3 Borders (Silhouette store only)

Thanks so much for hanging with me today!  I hope you're keeping cool in your neck of the woods!  :)
