Best Creation Inc has the best paper line for water play called "Splash fun"....so many possibilities with this one!! I just love the colors and all of the glittery accents!!! So they (Best Creation Inc) challenged the Design Team to use a technique to create the look of water using this new line.
The Blog has some fun contests going on today and tomorrow (June 17 & 18) and lots of giveaways so if you didn't come here from there you will want to head on over ;) Also I am going to giveaway a fun selection of papers from this line including the die cut pages and a page of stickers!!! I have to limit it to US only for shipping purposes though. All you need to do to be entered for my giveaway is to leave a comment on this post and tell me where your favorite place to swim is :) (by Monday June 20)
So if you came from the
Best Creation Inc Blog you know what you are looking for right???? Let me share my layout with you, some close ups and some tips :)
One of my go to techniques for water is to use a mist on the background, I love a great white background with a couple of colors of mist :) I used Maya Mist for the background on this one in blue and orange....a little bit goes a long way, lol!!
I added a Chipboard die cut to the circle and used my
Helmar Adhesive Runner to attach it.....its not going anywhere now!
I love using wave patterns and scallops to imitate the look of water too! Best Creation supplied me with those patterns as well in both the paper and the sticker sheets! One other thing I like to do is fussy cut and that's just what I did with the water splashes!! Adhering them with my handy dandy
Helmar 450 Quick Dry made the job super easy!!
One last thing I love to use are epoxies, shiny and glossy they look like water! I made my custom epoxies with my
Epiphany Crafts Shape studios in the new Oval shape, the large Heart and small Circle. Best Creation Inc has the best graphics to cut and punch out!! A little dab of the
Helmar 450 Quick Dry and they are all set!
So there you have it....a great water layout created with the Splash fun line of papers from Best Creation Inc, put together with
Helmar Adhesives with the added touch of
Epiphany Crafts epoxy's!! I hope you have enjoyed your visit and don't forget to leave a comment here on my blog for my giveaway!!!

My fav place to swim is definitely in a pool, however the place that I actually do swim in the most is the lake. Great LO!!

my favorite place to swim is in a nice, quiet pool...no fishies or gunk :)
I see Waldo! I had a feeling he was hiding in your bright LO. I like the color spritzing on the background paper.
Fantastic layout Julie.. just love your use of that paper line! Thanks for linking up at Paper Issues. :)
