Distressed News Print Technique

I seem to be on a vintage theme this week.  I tried a technique I found on Youtube, Distressed News Print, on these two cards.  I started with a piece of "First Edition Specialty" DSP and sponged it with Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede.  I got a bit carried away with my sponging and the piece ended up a little darker than I would have liked, but it still worked okay on a vintage style card.

Stamp sets used are "Established Elegance" and "Petite Pairs" with a colour scheme of Soft Suede, Blushing Bride, Naturals Ivory and Crumb Cake.
