Back in the day, one of my favorite techniques would be to tear the crossword puzzle from the daily paper and use it as a background for my cards. I loved the look. I was so excited when I saw today's challenge!
For my card, I grabbed today's sports page and tore it up. The articles are about my L.A. Dodgers and the Anaheim Angels. Both teams lost last night so I was glad to rip it up. I blended distress ink on the newsprint. BTW, I am a subscriber of our local newspaper. I proudly support our local journalists.
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look!
