My favourite suite (so far!) is definitely Animal Expedition. What's a suite you ask? Well let me tell you. :) A suite is a grouping of products that all coordinate perfectly together. We're talking ink, cardstock, Designer Series Paper, stamp set, framelits, and embellishments--everything you could possibly want to make some incredible projects!
Stampin' Up has always been known for their incredible coordination, but they have stepped it up a further notch with this suite--THE FRAMELITS CUT OUT THE ANIMALS IN THE DSP PAPER!!! Sorry, did I yell that? It is just sooo cool. I'll have an example of a card I made using this technique for you later, but in the meantime, on to my blog hop card!
This card was inspired by Kylie Bertucci, a demonstrator down under in Australia. I went to my go-to place and watercoloured this little guy while I waited for my coordinating products to arrive (I won him at On Stage in April). Isn't he too cute?!
I started by embossing my image in Basic Black Embossing Powder, which has been brought out of retirement this year. I coloured him with Gray Granite and some Powder Pink on his horn, with a Pineapple Punch bird friend and Call Me Clover Grass.
What a cutie!
That strip of DSP just pops off the card front, doesn't it? But what really takes it over the top is that gorgeous leaf ribbon.
Seriously, I love it all.
Want to see it in person? Or even better, get the suite for free?? Stop by my Open House tomorrow (June 16) between 10 am-2 pm! Check out my Events page for more details.
To balance the card I added a white-embossed sentiment on black cardstock in the bottom corner. I could not be happier with this card--totes adorbs!
That's it for me folks, but keep on hopping! My teammates have some great projects to show you too.
