Run Or Dye - Papermaze August Kit

Here is my layout using the the latest kit from Papermaze. This one has bright, summery colours for the month of August. The layout is called 'Run or Dye' using two photos of my nephew's family when they took part in the 5K charity run.

What's in the kit this time? Please see the kit on the shop website and my post on the Papermaze Blog.

The August Kit

For this layout I started off with a sketch for inspiration from Page Maps

I used: Blush Red Medium Bazzill to make a border and a photo mat. 

Using my Cricut, I cut my title onto the Avalanche Bazzill and then trimmed and mounted it onto the red.
I added some flicks of Distress Stain to the card using a to selection of colours to match the papers. The edges were inked with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink.

I trimmed the manufacturer's strip .from the Tidepool paper, then used it to trim the left side of the Avalanche cardstock

To give a rainbow effect to the letters, I used the colourful stripe side of the Life is Good paper, this was stuck behind the cutout letters, then I added back in the letter centres to the R, D, and O's.

I made a journalling panel by cutting out and gutting one of the 4x6 Elements and backing it with the cloud patterned paper from the reverse side of this sheet. I added two words from the soup labels sticker sheet from the kit. Finally I added a little more colour to the background with Nuvo Crystal Drops in a selection of colours. 

Back with my next layout soon

Thanks for looking
