Hi Everyone, For Merry Monday 160, I used this great patterned paper to fulfill the challenge requirement of using "Newsprint". I also used the Freshly Made Sketch 188 to put this card together.
Spellbinder dies were used to die cut the cute PTI card stock poinsettias which I sponged with Fired Brick Distress Ink. I layered them, adhered with Multi Matte Medium and some Doodlebug sequins and gold pearls.
The square was also die cut with a SB die to make a window. I stamped the Hero Arts sentiment with Versa Fine Black on an ivory card stock square on the inside of the card. To match the gold sequins I matted the newsprint PP on a DCWV gold foil mat. Thanks for visiting!
