Hi Everyone!
I checked out today's "Try a New Technique" challenge TLC317 ~ Newsworthy ~ (03/21/11) by Toy at Splitcoaststampers
and just about passed but I am so glad I didn't!
We were asked to use newspaper!!!! ;)
Grung really isn't my thing but My "grungy" roses turned out pretty cool if I say so myself!
The size of the card was determined by the size of yesterday's crossword puzzle. (I know that the words don't work up and down but they fit across and that made me happy! ;)
I lucked out with the green news print. It was already colored. I just dabbed a bit of darker green on for contrast. I shaped the roses then sprayed them with Glimmer Mist.
I teamed up all of the grung with some very nice hand-dyed silk from Really Reasobable Ribbon then added a Vintage brad and some pearls from Creative Charms. The paper is Paper Trey Ink's - Soft Stone.
I am a designer paper type of girl so this was sure a twist for me! Thanks Toy for making me think outside the box today! It was fun!
To see a close up and get all of the details, please come visit my blog @ http://truesgiftsfromtheheart.blogsp...aper-card.html
Hugs,
True
PS...I would love it if you left me a little love today!

Incredible, awesome and wonderful!!! The flowers and the leaves are works of art (and creativity). What I am just dancing about is that you have revealed to me how to use that stinkin' crossword puzzle stamp that I've had for 15 years and never used!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the inspiration to dig it out and ink it up! Congrats on being a Fav of the week, too.
