Just popping in quick to share with you a card made for a friend! I'm entering this card over at City Crafter. The theme this week is banners. I decided to try the sponge technique, which Lori demonstrated with a video. She made such a lovely card. I was so inspired, so I gave it a try. And, here is my card...
I started with a white card base and used make up sponges to apply the ink. I did two dabs with the sponge on the ink. I think it turned out great. But, I can't say the same for my thumb and finger...ha! You might want to use gloves if you don't want inky fingers!:-) Butterflies were punched as were the scalloped circles. It was a fairly easy card to make. I plan on doing another card in different colors for I had lots of fun with it!
Thanks so much for viewing my card today! Take care!
Hugs,
Maria
