One of my favorite bundles–and suites–in the new Stampin' Up! Catalog is Nature's Prints. It's a unique suite because there is a second set of papers that also coordinates which gives you TONS of colors for Nature's Prints Card ideas. I chose that second set, Pretty Prints, for my card class by mail this month. I'm featuring one of my favorite des
igns from my monthly card class by mail.

Let me point out a few things about my card. I made a "composition" with various elements from the awesome bundle with plenty of contrast using varying textures and papers.

By using some stamped and die-cut images plus some die-cut images I gained some nice variety. I used 4 colors of cardstock in my arrangement which is a lot for me!
I furthered that variety by using the subtle shine and elegance of Pearls plus a bit of brushed shine with the Rose Gold Shimmer Paper.
The whole composition was laid atop a 4" x 3" panel of Sahara Sand which was dry embossed with the new Fern 3D Embossing Folder.
