I've named this a challenge, because for me, using newspaper on this card was definitely a challenge. Oh dear Hannah.....you sure picked a hard theme. After I threw out a couple of cards, I finally decided on a basket filled with newspaper bits and pieces. It came together and I was happy with the end result. I stamped the basket, cut it out and distressed the edges. Each card was different (each basket had a different theme of newspaper bits and pieces), and I used coordinating newspaper pieces to make it work. I punched tiny leaves and distressed the edges, and used glitter glue on the gold leaf. Added a button and twine to finish it off. Don't know if many of you have done a swap or challenge using newspaper, but if you haven 't, give it whirl. I'd love to hear about your challenge, and see what you come up with.

DeleteI was lucky to receive one of these ATCs. My basket of newspaper had the theme of ART.
ReplyDeleteSo much attention to teeny, tiny details. Thanks Geri.
Hi Chanda, I wish I'd have taken a picture of your basket, but I forgot to do that. Maybe you can take one with your new cell and send it to me? lol Thanks for visiting. Hugs, Geri
