For Ann's Alpha N for newsprint challenge. First time using this stamp and one area did not take ink even though I stamped it several times, so had to color it in and used a gray pencil, but I am not all that happy with the look. Not sure how to fix it. Might have to glitter it up a bit. The stamp is defective but too late to complain about it now. But totally annoying. I stamped a white panel with the newsprint stamp which is peeking out from the yellow gingham. And I have newsprint in the wrapping. Used press n' seal once I had arranged everything and used double sided tape on the back to hold the green grasses down. Then used thin dimensionals to pop it up a bit and also on the little tag. Ribbon is adhered with a dot of Ranger multi medium matte.

I'm so glad you found a way to save this, Shirl. It's a beautiful bouquet image wrapped in newsprint paper. You got me with the addition of the tiny tag, though! Love it~

This is so lovely, Shirl. I have looked all over and haven't been able to identify the problem area, I think you are being too hard on it. Lovely bouquet wrapped in newsprint and I see the other peeking out too. So pretty!

What a wonderful card, Shirl! Love that newspaper wrapped bouquet! The sweet little tag is such nice touch, too! I love your background and the way you angled the panels.

I especially love your gingham panel and newsprint features! What a sweet little sentiment tag!! What a shame you are disappointed in your stamp .... it's such a cute image!

I think it looks great. I didn't notice anything wrong at all. And, the grey is perfect for your newsprint. Love all of your layers and your DP choices. Stylin'!
