I am an aging hippie who still sometimes wears flowing Indian print clothes. Now they call it boho, lol! I have always been fascinated with India. I love the rich colors and gold accents in everything from clothing to artwork to home decor. And the food of course... My husband use to travel to India for work, and in 2009 I got to join him at the end of his trip and spend five too short days there.
When I flipped through the new Stampin Up catalog I knew the Eastern Palace suite products were going to be at the top of my wish list. Today I played with a few of them using this Freshly Made Sketch:
For my first attempt I used the thinlits and stamp set, gold embossing the stamped images. I even embossed along the edges of the center panel. To accommodate the thinlit I wanted to use I had to make a 6.5 x 5 inch card rather than my usual 5.5 x 4.25.
You say you don't have a heat tool or maybe you don't have time for embossing? No worries! The suite includes gold vinyl stickers which I used here.
I had to fudge the dimensions a bit because the border stickers are 6 inches long. This is the card I plan to enter in the challenge. The suite also includes specialty paper and adorable mini tassels which I could not work into the design, so I will have to use them on my next card.
Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi
