Newsprint Challenge - ATCs

On our challenge blog this week Rosie suggested we use newsprint. I started by covering a sheet of it with acrylic paint and stamps......then I cut it up into ATC-sized pieces and free-machined onto them.




If anyone would like to trade .... let me know! I still have more to complete..........

I am sure I have missed out on these ATC's as they are all gorgeous (and in my fave colors too).

Great technique and the results are gorgeous. Good recycling to use the newspaper!

Love seeing familiar names of my friends visiting you too -they have good taste :)

Be filled with Wonder and Peace.....and Cosiness

I hope you're managing to embrace this change of season. I'm so much better at accepting the end of summer than I used to be. I&...
