Chalk Talk for Paper Players #151

Hi there stamping friends! This week at the Paper Players our very own Nance has a cool sketch to try out. I had no idea what I wanted to do with the sketch when I started out.  But I knew I wanted to use the brand new pack of Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper that was sitting on my desk. So I picked some patterns and got to cutting.
From there I ended up selecting the Chalk Talk stamp set for the main image because the pattern on the little tag kind of works with the paper. This stamp set has matching die cuts which rocks because it makes cutting out the images so easy to do. I added a little dressed up brad as an accent. I completely thought these were in the new SU catalog, but they are not. They do, however, live in the piles of unused awesomeness in my stamp studio, so I was glad they saw the light of day on this card. Haha! All of the supplies I used are listed at the end of this post.
Please join us this week over at the Paper Players! The challenge is open through Friday, June 28th at NOON (PDT). Please check out what the rest of the Design Team have created with this week's clean and simple challenge. This is sadly our last week with our awesome Guest Designers. Stop by and give some blogging love to Amy, Brian, Justin, Sandy and Jen. :)
