Tonight I have my monthly team meeting for my Tri-City Stampers team. A big part of our meetings is always fun make-n-takes. This month I wanted to highlight some of the wonderful new products in the catalogue that members of my team may not have had a chance to order yet. One of my favourite new DSP packs is International Bazaar. It has such a wonderful variety of rich colours and patterns I just had to pull it out for this project. Have a look:

Aren't those colours fabulous?? They are so vibrant and rich , yet they all work so well together. Another neat thing about this DSP is that is uses Bravo Burgundy!! I so rarely use that colour it was good to pull it out again. I only wish I had ribbon in that shade, as I would have preferred it to the Daffodil Delight I ended up using. This DSP also offers lots of possibilities for masculine cards, which so many of us struggle with.
To create the background I used the Herringbone technique, which was one that was featured at the demo event I participated in last weekend. What a great way to add WOW to a project without a lot of effort (or expense!). Because the background has so much going on I kept the rest of the card simple, adding only the sentiment from the Layered Labels set that I cut out with my new Apothecary Accents framelits. I heat embossed the sentiment in gold and added an antique brad (once again the perfect finishing touch!). I hope my team members enjoy making this card and grow to love the International Bazaar DSP as much as I do!
