Sarah-AYSI-Challenge-015-SAB-DSP-Card

Wow!  This one was a toughie for me!  I LOVE this sketch now but I sure struggled to get it together for this card.  This sketch is a GREAT one for showcasing SU!’s Designer Series Paper (DSP) because the packages come with 12 different double-sided designs (12 sheets 12″ x 12″, 2 of each double-sided design) in our coordinating colors.  SO…I picked out the fantastic NEW Sale-A-Bration DSP!!!  I’m SO SO SO in love with this paper that it isn’t even funny!  The best thing about it?  You can get it FREE with a $50 purchase beginning on January 28, 2014!  I’m super stoked about this year’s Sale-A-Bration offerings.

Anyway, this color combo of Basic Black, Pistachio Pudding, Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Summer Starfruit, and Crisp Cantaloupe feels SO fresh!  Combine that with whimsical scallops, fun florals and interesting ikats and you have a home run!!!  I wanted to make the DSP the star of the show so I used a simple Sahara Sand layer behind the papers and added the “Hi” greeting with my favorite Sketch and Outline Alphabets.  I stamped the sketch ones in Jet Black Staz On and embossed the Outline ones with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  The twine is also a Sale-A-Bration offering!  I LOVE it as it’s a tad weightier than the normal SU! Baker’s Twine.  🙂  Super fun!  The twine is specifically designed to coordinate with the DSP and comes in a package of 3 colors, as well as some fun adhesive backed printed cork die cuts.  There’s also a stamp set that goes with this suite of products too!  Again, each $50 you spend will allow you to pick from our fabulous choices!  (From January 28, 2014 – March 31, 2014)

I hope you love today’s card!  I couldn’t resist throwing a few sequins on there from an upcoming Sequin Trim that I just pulled apart to get some individual cuties.  🙂
