Summer Splash with Free Tropical Cut Files

This weekend I broke out the watercolors to create a unique background for this layout. This is Landon in his splash pool. Both boys had so much fun playing in the water this summer.



I created a cut file with hibiscus flowers, tropical leaves and swirly vines to give this backyard scene an exotic/summery feel. See the bottom of this post to download these files.


I added the year in a sparkly white frame. I also did a stitched border that matched the back cardstock.




I created this layout for a challenge on http://artasticchallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/. This challenge was to create a project inspired by this painting by William Knox called Arabian Scene.


I also created the custom cut file with the September Silhouette Challenge on Scrapbook.com and Silhouettechallenges.com.
