Oh goodness gracious! It's time for a brand new Just Us Girls challenge! This week Lisa challenges us to try the sponge a layer technique.
Check it! Me. Queen of lumpy cards has a (OMG!) flat card this week! Those ribbon banners are simply sponged on ink! Woohoo! I cut a ribbon banner using Spellbinders pennant banner nestibilities from cardstock and used the negative as a mask for inking up this card. And seeing how this card and it's birthday wishes go out late to the recipient, I am rest assured that the delivery won't be held up by a lumpy embellishment that jams the envelope up in the postage cancellation machine at the post office! huh. I could get used to this CAS stuff I think!
Proof! This card is FLAT, no bumps but still packs alot of visual punch, I think, with the gorgeous ink colors that have been swiped on. Ready for a few more projects that will have you scrambling to your ink pads and applicators?
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll join us for this fun technique this week.
