Newspaper Print Backgrounds - Masking Tape

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

Your background is now ready

You don't have to lift off the newspaper print, you could just cover your card stock with plain masking tape

Stamp your image directly on top of the masking tape
