Over at W Plus 9 there's a challenge for us to stretch it and get out of our comfort zone so I did a little sponging on my card today. My sponging skills are less than perfect - I never seem to get an even coverage and tend to get a bit heavy handed so there's usually more ink on one area of the image:
I used Fresh Cut Florals again for this one. I also used the colours from this weeks Colour Throwdown (although I don't have So Saffron so Daffodil Delight will have to do) and I'm entering it into The Card Concept, where there is a floral theme. I reckon this one is clean and simple.
Thanks for popping by,

Your sponging looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness....a resounding YES to the clean & simple! BUT, I'm adding beautifully and stunningly clean & simple to your category classification! Your sponging is flawless. I would never have guessed that you are new to this technique, You're a natural 'blender' :) The wee peek of black matting really sets off the black image on the card front. LOVE all the glorious white space!
