As I am cleaning up my craft desk I came up with an idea: use it as the negative stencil for sponging! I've used three colors: Honey, Autumn Terracotta and Barn Red in the main panel, and Twilight as the border of the panel. Another new thing that I've tried is a new tool. Well, for crafting purposes it is new for me as I have never used it before this way. It was a makeup sponge that did all the sponging, isn't it cool? The best part is that I don't use makeup sponge anymore and it is finally "one of those instances" that I could use it!
It is one layer, clean and simple and fall/thankgiving-inspired.
I'm entering this card for the following challenges:
1. CAS-ual Friday - Fall Fun
2. Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C155 - Thank you card or Thanksgiving-inspired project
3. OWL 106 - One layer card with sponging.
In addition, I'll participate in the Gratitude Campaign 2012 hosted by Simplicity.
Thanks for stopping by!
