Seize the Day with Nature's Poem

First, please have a happy, warm Martin Luther King Day.

I had some friends over to stamp last week, right before

our little blizzard hit.  Marianne looked at some of my DSP

samples and loved the Nature's Poem Designer Series

paper on page 189.  I do, too, because it enables you to

combine so many pretty patterns!   I ran the card base with DSP attached through the "Subtles" big shot Textured Impressions

Embossing Folder, although it is hard to see the texture in this 

photo.   This is my "thank you" card for Marianne.

I used the Seize the Day set on page 157, because it works

so well with the DSP to create an elegant card.  The 

"DistINKtive" look of this stamp set creates depth and

nuances, without any effort on the part of the stamper.

For the sentiment, I used the Well Written Framelits

Dies from the Occasions catalog, done with Gold

Foil paper.    Here is more on DistINKtive stamps.
