Default WT849 - Newsprint to Fit - 06/17/21

Hello and Happy Thursday, Friends!

It's my pleasure to hostess another Ways To Use It Challenge. This week, my challenge to use is to use newsprint on your card. I was able to get my hands on the local High School paper and used bits of that on my card. If you don't have actual newspaper, try some designer paper made to look like newsprint or maybe a stamp that is fashioned after newsprint. A book page would well here, too. If all else, get a text stamp out and make it look like newsprint yourself!

A big thank you to Lisa, Sabrina, Jayne and Cathy for helping me out this week with some beautiful projects. Remember to use the keyword, WT849, when uploading your project so that we can all see your creations. It helps if you link it up back here too. You can view the entire gallery for the challenge HERE.


If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how:
1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE

There is an artists' collective in town and one of the people does a range of coloured prints on old book pages. It's a look I love, so I went for it here. Newspapers are thin on the ground, especially these days.

WT849 It is Well
Toni this is a fantastic challenge. I hope my hymn is newsprint enough for the challenge.

I'm working on my "Challenge Catch-up" cardmaking goal with some newer and some older challenge entries.

With no newspaper or a book page, I went with the stretch and used a script dsp patterned paper.

Here is my card: Pompoms & Poppies!

The challenge asked you to use newsprint on your card...no newspaper: a book page, newsprint-like dsp or script at a stretch. I went with the stretch and used a script dsp.

Here is my card: Pompoms & Poppies!
