This week I am pairing up two challenges. The first is a sketch challenge from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge created by Michelle and digitalized by Brandi.
The second challenge is from "The Paper Players" challenge blog, and the premise is to combine something old with something new.
Here's My Card:
Quite a while ago I purchased a beautiful stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Sending Smiles. It's retired now, but it's still a favourite on my list because of all the wonderful sentiments, the florals and the coordinating dies.
I'm pairing the Sending Smiles floral design and sentiment with a brand new background stamp set called Elements of Text, one of Stampin' Ups! current while supplies last Online Exclusives. 
I wanted these cards to be easy mailers and clean and simple so I didn't die cut and add an overlay of daisies for the note cards.
Supplies:
Stamps and Dies:
- Sending Smiles #158701 (R)
- Elements of Text #164774 (Online Exclusive)
Cardstock:
- Basic White card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Basic White Matte - 3 1/2" x 3 3/4"
- Pecan Pie Matte - 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
- Granny Apple Green Matte 3 3/4" x 5"
Ink:
- Crushed Curry
- Granny Apple Green
- Pecan Pie
Accessories:
- Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins #16348
Thanks for dropping by today and I hope you'll come back again. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this card.
HAPPY STAMPING

Thanks Alicia. Appreciate your taking the time to comment on my card. Most appreciated.
Thanks for your LUV Brandi. This was a great challenge.
Thanks so much Michelle. I appreciate your comment on the stamping layers.
Thanks Alyson. Appreciate the feedback
Very pretty, Penny! Sending Smiles is one of my favorite sets. It was nice to see it used on your card. Using the Elements of Text stamp creates the perfect backdrop for the lovely flowers and the sentiment. What a great idea to get your cards sent out just in case there is a postal strike! Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
