Supplies needed: Masking tape, newspaper, card stock, mediums to colour with
Tear a strip of masking tape off, stick it onto your newspaper, press down firmly and pull of the tape, you should have picked up some of the print. Repeat this until you have as much print on your masking tape as you like
As you can see my print runs in various directions
Tear this strip into smaller pieces and stcik them to a piece of card stock in a random fashion
Completely cover the piece of card stock
Colour with your choice of medium - I chose green chalk

What a fab idea I will try this one later
Thanks for teaching me this technique, Sam. Found some of hubby's masking tape yesterday so must try it with this. xx
Great idea, must start to save the papers instead of recycling them!
