I really liked the sketch at The Paper Players.
For some reason I had a 12 x 12 Iris case on my design table and there was this very old grouping of paper. It is very well aged but I think you will agree it still makes a wonderful card. I did have to add a dark brown mat to the base layer of the sketch. Of course, it used up more pieces of the paper which is great in my world. Only one million more pieces of paper to use and that is not counting the 500 6 x 6 pads.
The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.
The pink strip was cut with a My Favorite Things die and then a little twine bow was glued to it.
I have kitted 3 more of this same card. I have a friend who is going to send cards to troops from her state of Minnesota. She helped me earlier in the year with card for Wisconsin soldiers.
Remember of show some love for your old supplies. You can always come join me for Oldie Moldie Monday where I always try to use some old paper in my cards.

That's a pretty combination of papers. Great idea to use the circle as the sentiment. Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
LOL, I have about a million pieces of DSP too! No matter, you used some pretty ones here and that sentiment is as sweet as can be! Thanks for playing with my sketch at the Paper Players this week!
