The Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers is back after a respite, and their new challenge is #246 - "N is for New", in which we're challenged to use something new that we haven't used yet. I opted to also play with the word a bit to say how I feel about the New Year. Also, my card is using pieces cut from The New York Times.
Some months back I won a challenge (don't remember which one) and I was gifted with a certificate from AALL & Create, and one of the stamp sets I ordered was #771 "DEE Quips" designed by Janet Klein. This is the first time I've used it. I started with a black card base that I attached a die cut rectangle of textured craft card stock. Then I used newsprint from the front page of a New York Times. I didn't find newsprint to be a particularly good medium for die cutting - there was some wrinkling involved, but hey! I used PTI's number dies and stacked them to fit onto an A2 card. The sentiment was white heat embossed on black and glued to the face. The photo and envelope lining are both from the opinion page of The New York Times.
I have to admit to being a bit of a news junkie, but I generally tend to keep my political opinions out of my blog. I think I can make an exception here because it seems that the "Sisters" don't really concern themselves with offending anyone!
So, I submit "N is for New": New Year, new stamp set, The New York Times, and newsprint.
