Sponge a layer...huh? What's that you ask? Well, we have
the tutorial just for you...and I have to say, it is one of my favorite techniques I have tried so far with the
Just Us Girls team. Thanks
Lisa for an awesome technique for us to try. Since I made the card for the challenge, I also tried it
here and
here (if you'd like to take a peak for more inspiration!) This week's challenge also gave me a new resource on the
Gina K site. There are all kinds of fun tutorials over there. I kept my sponge layer very simple. I masked off the top and bottom portion of the card with large post-it notes and inked it up with my Ranger Distress ink. Love the various shades of blue it creates...and am very happy with the sweet little baby card! I'd love to see what you create. It would also be fun to try with different shades of ink.
Please stop by and check out the gorgeous creations from the other design team members!

LOVE this card. Simply beautiful.
Gorgeous, just look at that stunning blue! Love how that technique turned out for you.
Just fantastic Lynn, I love the sentiment too :0)
Is sponging the new misting though???
Surely there's room for them both :0)
