Good morning, stampy friends! I'm a bit late with my Paper Players post today, but it's been a loooong week. Last weekend we went to Switzerland for a few days, which was awesome, and then when we came back both the hubs and I came down with Covid. I spent most of the last week feeling like I'd been hit by a truck : ( We're getting better, but I've still got a ways to go before I'm fully recovered. But here I am finally with my post for the Paper Players! Check out Claire's Tic-Tac-Toe challenge:
Some fun options on there, am I right? I elected to go for the middle row, die cut - blue - patterned paper. Here's what I made:
This was actually the first card I made with Nature's Prints when I got it earlier this summer. I bought the stamp set and coordinating DSPs (Sun Prints and Pretty Prints) on a whim for some scrapbook pages and I'm so glad I did, I've enjoyed playing with them. You'll see the scrapbook pages later this fall : ) Anyway, this card came together super quickly because I loosely based the layout on a past Paper Players sketch. Work smarter, not harder, right?
We hope you'll join us for this fun tic-tac-toe challenge and upload your card at the Paper Players blog. Have fun stamping!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Nature's Prints
Ink: Starry Sky, Night of Navy
Paper: Gray Granite, Pacific Point, Night of Navy, Thick Basic White, Sun Prints DSP
Accessories: Natural Prints dies, Waves of the Ocean rhinestones, Dimensionals

So sorry to hear that your recent Swiss break ended with the 'gift' of a bout of Covid - that's rotten luck! The soft grey highlights the blue elements on your card beautifully and the whole thing is a great showcase of the elements in this suite. Best wishes for a full recovery this week!
