Good morning everyone!! Hope all is well in your world....I have to go to work today so this will be short and sweet!! I made this card yesterday for the TLC317 challenge on Splitcoast to use newspaper on a card or project. Since I don't take the paper, I went to my parents to raid their paper stash.The leaf stamp from Studio 490's Ticket to Art set was stamped on newspaper with Old Olive and sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink. Several round scalloped pieces were punched from the newspaper, sponged with Vintage Photo, crumpled up, and layered together with a brad to form the flower. The sentiment was cutout of the newspaper and the bird is a wood piece from KaiserCraft. The birdcage stamp is called Sweet ZZZ's from Unity...it was paper pieced with 7 Gypsies Gypsy Market dp and sewing around the background paper finishes it off.
I really like the look of the newsprint and think next time I will stamp silhouettes on newsprint...I just have to find something in the newspaper except articles about war, death, or crimes!!
Recipe:
Stamps: Unity, Studio 490
Paper: Old Olive, Kraft, 7 Gypsies dp, Newspaper
Ink: Old Olive, Vintage Photo
Accessories: Brad, Wood Bird, Sewing Machine

What a delight it was to visit with you in your studio last week!! Liz and I loved every minute of it and what a treat it was meeting your husband and grandkids!
I came home to find my family was coming for a visit the next day. It was so much fun having them here for a few days before their spring break ended!
What a cool card, Joan! You show so many sides to your cardmaking!

I love the newsprint too, Joan, it looks great. would be good if you could find a nice uplifting article to incorporate into your design, not easy at the moment to come across one though! I really like the style of this card, the grungy look def appeals. CoB
