Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's my turn to host this week and I have my favourite, a sketch challenge, for us to work with:
Not only do I have a great sketch (even if I say so myself!), I also have some very special new goodies to work with - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I have the Silly Old Bears Suite!! Now first things first: a confession. If you are one of my UK customers, this suite is unfortunately not available to purchase in the UK; Stampin' Up! only have the copyright to produce and sell this product in the USA. As a lifelong Winnie The Pooh fan, I was super disappointed to hear this. Fortunately for me though, I have generous and helpful American friends that meant my recent trip Stateside meant I could come home with my very own suite - yay! So you will be seeing me use it on my blog, as my international readers will hopefully still enjoy the inspiration.
My card showcases the Silly Old Bear papers, and for the feature panel I added a piece of Very Vanilla that I embossed with the Hundred Acre Woods embossing folder - perfect for the 'E is for Embossing' challenge over at The Alphabet Challenge Blog this week. Check out the dimension:
I also used it to emboss the envelope flap for some co-ordinated detail. A sentiment from the Sweet Words and Labels Bundle, another of the bundles in the suite, and a Pooh and Piglet diecut from another of the DSP sheet, complete my card. I LOVE this suite - and will be making lots more with it too!
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

3. Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL.
4. Have FUN!
It has been absolutely roasting here in the UK this week so my south-facing craftroom has been well and truly out of bounds. Enjoy your day; I'll be back later in the week with another project, weather permitting! Until then, happy stampin'!
