Paper Boy - Moo

I've had a bottle of distress crackle paint languishing in a drawer for a while and figured I better use it before it dried up.  I painted a thin layer onto my base (a bingo card) and got a multitude of fine cracks.  Once I rubbed a little distress ink and charcoal pencil into them, they became more visible and made a wonderful background for my little paper boy.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
140 lb watercolor paper; 1970s bingo card; sandpaper; antique linen and vintage photo distress ink; Ranger distress crackle paint (picket fence); paperboy image from Artistic Outpost; Stazon black ink; very vanilla cardstock from Stampin' Up; Prismacolor Premier pencils; odorless mineral spirits; vintage book text; medium charcoal pencil; Adirondack espresso acrylic paint dabber.
