It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.
The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week and she has a very creative theme challenge for all of us. She wants us to use "Something Old" and "Something New" on our projects this week! It is always fun to look through our collection of stamps and decide what to use. So have fun and we can't wait to see what you create.
Something Old, Something New - pair an old favorite with a new craft item
And yet again, I found out my dear friend has breast cancer. I wanted to send her a card to help her through her journey. This beautiful angel from Unity Stamps has been sitting in my stash for a long time, so I decided she would be perfect to make her a card of encouragement. Maria Girl was stamped her in Versa Mark ink and heat embossed her with white powder. I fussy cut her and sponged a little black ink on the edges to make her pop off the Crumb Cake cardstock. The new items are the Textured Notes Dies from SU that I used to cut the background and sentiment square. I added a few pearls to complete my card.

The angel is a gorgeous image. I have a Christmas angel for my shelf that this is the twin of! Lovely use of the neutral ground too. Lovely card, even if for a sad reason. And aren't those Textured Notes dies amazing?! Have a great week. :-)
