Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Today I’d like to share with you the amazing “Natural Composition Specialty Paper” … and 2 very different ways to use this versatile product.  The designer paper comes with 2 sheets each of 6 single sided designs – no need to chose between sides on this one!  The patterns on the “Natural Composition Specialty Paper” have raised, shiny images, as if they were embossed.

Our first card is a super simple card with just a little surprise.

It’s time to take out your brayer again… you can actually brayer any color onto this specialty cardstock, we used the Cherry Cobbler, and because the pattern is a clear emboss, the natural background comes through.

We added a simple tag with the “Vintage Trinkets” and pinned it to the beautiful “Victoria Crochet Trim”.  Sometimes simplicity is more beautiful than all that layering.  This is a perfect card when you need something quick, but want a touch of elegance.

Our next card is equally simple … just stamp and emboss.  Yes, you can emboss on this wonderful cardstock.

The flowers come from the “Serene Silhouettes” stamp set and are embossed in gold.  The birthday greeting comes from the stamp set “Perfectly Penned”.  I love the natural tone of the card.

If you don’t have your package of  “Natural Composition Specialty Paper” … you may want to stock up, because it can be used for so much more.  I just wanted to show you two of my favorite techniques on this paper.

Here is a list of supplies used for today’s card …
