A couple days ago, I took some newspaper and inked it up using several different colors. Today I got to use that newspaper. Thus, my recycled moose........details.....
Using a white panel of cs, I brushed on some matte gel then started ripping up my colored newspaper and putting the tiny pieces on the bottom of my card.
Stamped and clear ep my moose from Clear Dollar Stamps. Lightly drew a tree and sun and some extra big blades of grass. Stamped an extra moose, clear ep, and colored with copics. Cut out and set aside.
Sponged the sky using Rosie's Roadshow cloud stencil. Then paper pieced the tree and sun. Sponged the edges and doodled a little.
Put this on a panel of white cs that I crimped. Then put this on a white card. Popped up the top part of my extra moose. Stamped the sentiment, cut out with word punch and traced around edges with a bic marker.
Well, hope you like my newspaper pieced scene here.........as always TFL :0)
I am off to the boat show with DH, but will be back later to comment on all your wonderful cards!

Okay, Nutmeg, I see you're still at it ... making use of the wildest things. Now I know what to do when I cant find that just right paper! Great creativity on this, my friend! Oh, BTW, have you noticed anything different with the pools in CH? You will!
