For Toni's WTUI challenge this week ( WT849 - Newsprint to Fit - 06/17/21 by ravengirl at Splitcoaststampers )I used a book page - Winston Churchill's account of his early life. Amongst other things he was a correspondent for newspapers, so that's a tie in with the theme. Paper Rose image stamped with Versafine Black and coloured with Polychromos. Some SN clear glitter on the top right eucalyptus leaves. Edged with white acrylic and Stickles. I added this to a 7" x 5" card base sponged with grey DOX and stamped with LOTV grunge corners in Versafine Smokey Grey. Butterfly (BoBunny) stamped on photo paper with AI. I added some colour in with Sharpies. The glossy finish is a lovely contrast with the old paper. The little gold bow on the sentiment tag is from one of the TH funky floral sets. Thank you Jayne for the beautiful flowers. My internet was down at the time I was colouring them, so I relied on my memories from the Botanic Gardens glasshouse, and an old calendar with Australian flowers.

Stunning, Sabrina! I love the look of the flowers on the newsprint! Come to think of it, I've done that once or twice, but not for a while now. I love the dreamy look with the white edges.

Wonderful book page and gorgeous flowers you layered on the page Sabrina. I was going ot use a book page but then I remembered the news print stamp I had and it makes great masculine cards so I changed my direction. Might need to make another one with a book page.
