Inky Friends Suite Designs Blog Hop -- Naturally Eclectic
08/24/2017
Welcome to the Inky Friends Suite Designs Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who have gathered to introduce you to the Product Suites from the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. To see the line up of Stampin' Up! artists participating in the hop, click here. If you are traveling forward through the hop, you've arrived from Shelley's blog where she featured projects using the Delightful Daisy Suite. If you are traveling backwards through the hop, you just saw some great projects made by Cindy using the Color Theory Suite. It really doesn't matter which way you travel through the blog hop, though; all the blogs are linked in a circle and eventually you'll visit all the stops by clicking on the NEXT or PREVIOUS buttons contained in every blog post. I hope you enjoy your travels!
The Naturally Eclectic Suite is featured on pages 132-133 of the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. The Oh So Eclectic stamp set and coordinating Eclectic Layers Thinlits for the Big Shot contain floral elements in a graphic style that lends itself to a wide variety of styles. The Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper contains a beautiful array of watercolored designs in the colors of Berry Burst, Emerald Envy, Lemon Lime Twist, Night of Navy, Peekaboo Peach, Soft Sky, and Whisper White. Seam Binding ribbon returns to the catalog in a Crinkled version in the colors of Berry Burst, Emerald Envy, Night of Navy, and Peekaboo Peach. A fun addition to this suite is a set of Card Overlays made from Window Sheets that feature a variety of designs in gold, silver, and white.

Fun color combinations. The background on your first card looks intriguing, and I love the multi colors on the flower in the second sample.
