Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today with a new layout for y'all using the gorgeous new August 2021 Color Kitz! This months kit is so stunning and I had so much fun creating with it!
To start, I cut the exclusive cut file out on a piece of white cardstock. While I was still in my Silhouette Software, I duplicated and offset the inner pieces of the mandala and cut those as well. I wanted to back the cut file using the colors in the kit so I had my Silhouette do the work for me. This makes it so much easier when it's time to back it! I left all of the pieces on my cutting mat and started painting each piece using the colors in the kit.
Once I was finished painting all of the backing pieces, I set them aside to dry and got to work on my background. I took a piece of thick white cardstock and sprayed some clean water on it. I then took the Velveteen Green from the kit and sprayed/painted it on and also added in Antique Lace to give it even more shimmer! I wanted a bit of blue since the collection that I chose to use had some blue in it. I pulled a Jeni B Bleu Vibez from my stash and added it in. I wanted my background to look like the ocean/sand since my photo is of my son at the beach. I love how it turned out, those colors went so well together and blended perfectly!
I love the colors in this kit!
Next, I backed my cut file and popped it up on foam tape and adhered it to my background. Then, I started embellishing! I matted my photo, got my title down and then pulled out the super cute paper clips from the kit and added them to a couple of clusters.
I pulled two of the Dotz from the kit and also got those added into my clusters.
Here's another up close shot:
