The final peek!
Today it is time to see the final four new sets from Banana Frog. I was going to do them singularly to give them each chance to shine, but ended using multiple sets on the examples. So here they all are!
The first set is a large (8x6") alphabet called Madfont. It is inspired by the font used in the title of the US Mad magazine. It is solid yet quirky, and also a bit western!
The second alphabet is called FT Rosecube. It is one that Shimelle drew my attention to, and we both love it. It is 3D, ever so slightly grungy and it also reminds me of an old type press. It is a great size for mini books as well as layouts and cards.
Both FT Rosecube and Madfont are used on the layout Little Rock Star.
Take Note is a journaling set, but has pointers for information such as 'Notes', 'Event' and 'Evidence'. I wanted something a little more elaborate and distressed. I was inspired by some wrought iron work in a local park. I loved the beauty of the design and how the aging process was actually enhancing that beauty.
I used the Take Note set on the layout 'Yeehaw Kerris!' along with Elegant Swirls, Swirls and Make a Chain to try and replicate some of the elegant wrought iron work.
Take Note and Madfont have both been used on 'Bonkers'. On this layout, I doubled up the large journaling shape to incorporate all I wanted to say. I also used Whirligig to replicate the circle design on the Rouge de Garance paper Picoti Picota No 7
The final set to show is called Tag it.
This is a great set for cards and gifts as well as layouts or mini-books. Alison has used it on her layout 'Jump for Joy' and I have made some cards, also using the Retro Greetings set.
Each of the new sets (including the sets designed by Shimelle) will be available from local stockists in the next week!
Wow these look fab, I'm in love with those fonts!!!!
