This kit is so fun and filled with beautiful aquatic colors. You will find all supplies to recreate the layout at the bottom of my blog post.

Step 2: Using a watercolor brush, water, and the following colors: Shimmerz (Lilac Blossom), Vibez (Jeni B Bleu), Shimmerz (Stay Golden: this month's exclusive color). Add more water if necessary to move the colors around. Work with one color at a time, let dry, before moving to next color.

Step 3: Time for fun! Start adding ephemeras, tags, titles, and embellishments to layout. Make sure to use dimensional adhesive to create more dimensions to layout. Add border stitching.

Everyday is a Random Adventure | Hand Cut Letters | Niki Rowland

Hey everyone, this is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) here with you today and I have a new layout and video for you. I'm using several colours of blue to create background that I could then cut hand-cut letters from.

I started by taking a piece of smooth Marshmallow cardstock and then I painted my colours in wide strips onto the cardstock. I started with Jeni B Blue Vibez, followed by Frost Bite Vibez and Deep Blue Sea Vibez. For the deepest blue I used SteelyBlue Eyes Inklingz. 

For all the Vibez, I simply dipped my paintbrush into the bottle and painted directly that way. For the Inklingz, I added a small amount of water to the pot and let it sit for a few minutes so that it made a lovely rich, intense paint and then I used my paintbrush to paint it on.

I then added splatters in the same colours over each of the stripes and let it dry.

 

Once my cardstock was dry I cut it into 2" wide strips and then cut each strip into 2" squares. I then cut my letters from each square just using scissors. I outlined each letter with a black fineliner pen.

I have used Cocoa Vanilla Studio for this layout and added a title and embellishments from that collection.

 

Here is another look at the finished layout:

Thanks so much for joining me today and I hope you have enjoyed this layout. The process video can be viewed below.
