Island Indigo Gets 'Framed!'

Island Indigo is one of the snazzy new 2011-13 In Colors and I think she's beautiful!  A unique blue-ish/ green hue that is one of a kind.  I couldn't wait to try using Island Indigo but had an equal need to try the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, called Designer Frames.  So I got myself down to work and started to play!

The flash on my camera makes the hue look a bitdifferent than it is in person. Take a gander at this Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon for a better look-see...

Here's the supply list for the pretty card above:

• Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Island Indigo & Whisper White
• Ink: Island Indigo Classic
• Stamp Sets: Friends Never Fade & Bring on the Cake (both available in wood & clear mount)
• Extras: Big Shot, Designer Frames Embossing Folder, Hobby Knife (to cut out the center of the frame), Island Indigo 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon, Basic Pearls & SNAIL Adhesive.

BOTH of these shapes come in the Designer Frames pack for only $8.95 - it's a terrific value!

The folders are a tad bit smaller than the embossing folders that SU! carries and makes for easy layering. 

Instead of layering while card stock on top of the Island Indigo (as shown above), I decided to take my hobby knife and simply cut out the center of the frame.  It was easy! 

I personally love the Island Indigo against the Whisper White for a clean crisp look. The 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon has sublte flecks of white in it, so the contrast worked perfectly.
