Inspired by Nature

Did you know that the First Edition DSP is still available?   Yup, it is a carryover item from the Occasions Mini Catalog.   I find myself using this DSP a lot.   You know I like the Black and White/Vanilla look a lot so this DSP is just  perfect.  This DSP is a little different because it is lighter weight than the usual DSP and you get 24 sheets in a pack (4 each of 6 designs!)  I like that the font is small and pretty unobtrusive and yet adds interest.

Stamps:  Upsy Daisy, Inspired by Nature, Friends 24-7, Happy Greetings
Ink: Black Craft Ink, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Riding Hood Red, Not Quite Navy
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Baisc Black, First Edition DSP
Punches:  Designer Label, 1 3/8" and 1-1/4" circle punch
Ribbon:  Black Stin ribbon, 1/8" Black Taffeta ribbon

Pretty dramatic huh?  Love the black embossing with the bold stamp images. I  sponged on the colors and blended as I went along.   Easy and fun what could be better?
