One of the suite I was immediately drawn to was the Fresh Fruit one. Now, after seeing the papers in person and using them with the matching stamp set, I'm even more in love with it and foresee enjoying them very much. The fruits are just so adorable! It's a two-steps stamp set, but the fruits can be used without the outline stamp and still look good because the photopolymer has texture to create highlight on the image without us having to work at it.
This set of card was inspired by the Stamp Ink Paper challenge #53, where we had to draw inspiration from one of the design team's projects. I chose Dena Rekow's. I loved her mix of sorbet shades, the stripes on the background and the main image on a tag. I drew inspiration from all of those elements.
The Fresh Fruit stamp set is unfortunately only offered in English, so I looked in my other stamp set to find something appropriate in French. Two of the sentiments from the Here for You stamp set, and the third one was created with the Labeler Alphabet. This is another set I got really excited over the second I saw it. We get positive and negative letters. and the size is awesome for both cards and Project Life inserts. This is going to get used a LOT.
To fill out the card a bit more, I pulled out the new Flourish Thinlits dies and cut leaves out of Old Olive cardstock to add around the tag. Ruched ribbon in Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo were tied at the top of the tag as well. The tag was created with the Scallop Tag Topper punch and the Project Life Corner punch.
