For whatever reason, this card just seemed to fall into place. That is quite the miracle, considering my lack of desire to make cards these days :(
I have combined 3 challenges:
F4A159 - Using eyelets on our project
MIX6 - combining newsprint with gesso
QFTD155 - DJRants
I give all the credit for my card just coming together so well to DJRants, our Queen for the week. When I saw this card, I knew I wanted to create another masculine card. Here is DJ's card:
There really is newspaper behind that image. I think I added too much acryllic paint (in lieu of gesso) I stamped my image onto the newsprint,and then sponged colors to compliment the dps I used.
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a closer look. Hope you like it

This is gorgeous!!! Everything did fall into place nicely, but you are the one that put the things there. I know how you feel about the card making. Sometimes we just need to take a break and recharge. :>)
