Sponging away

-
This morning I found a great technique while looking for some challenge.  It actually is a challenge to use the technique.  How fabulous is that!  So of course I had to try it out.
I'm really happy with the CAS look that I ended up getting.  I was going for something else... but once again my card just wasn't getting where it was supposed to so I let it become what it wanted lol.  I used Rangers Distress Spiced Marmalade for the sponging technique as well as for the flower that's on the blue. The color choice came from:

And the sketch from:

I'm entering this one in the following challenges:
  1. Cas-ualfridays - color combo
  2. Freshly made sketches - sketch
  3. Just us girls challenge - Sponging technique
It was a really fun technique.  Ended up with ink all over my hands... but I'm a messy crafter when it comes to inks lol.

    Oh I love your sponging results! You actually did the floral stamp over top too which looks awesome. I just used the edge of the nestie to sponge the focal mat on my card, but I like the technique. Very pretty card! Hugs, Kathy
