Hi friends! Around here, summer is in full swing and I love the fun icons included in the exclusive die cuts this month. I decided to create a feature of them for this Summer Cousins layout!

I started by putting a bit of mixed media on the background with the mists from the July Color Kit. I added a bit of white paint on top to tone them down and then used the stencil from the color kit to add a bit of interest with some modeling paste.

I decided to showcase some of my fave summery images from the July main kit by popping them on top of white punched circles and I love the way it turned out! I distressed the edges of the circles for a little bit more interest.

I added the title by combining the word “Summer” (found in the die cuts) and some of the little Pinkfresh Studio letter stickers that came in the July Pocket Life kit!

I balanced all of the cute die cuts on the right with a little cluster of flowers to the left of the photo. The floral exclusive die cuts from the July 2019 Embellishment Kit are AWESOME.

If you want to see how this layout came together, you can watch the process video below!

Here is another look at the final layout:

Hope you’re inspired to get out those gorgeous die cuts and showcase them on your next project!
