Yellow & Orange sponged card!


Here is my last challenge card as the Queen over at ISC this week. I asked the ladies to create something using the colors yellow and orange. I started out with a very pale yellow piece of carstock and stamped the Hero Arts "Antique Writing" in Brilliance coffee bean- then clear embossed it. I then got out my sponges and went to town sponging yellow and orange ink all over in a random fashion. I stamped the butterfly again and cut it out and colored it as I wanted some dimension on this card. I decided I want a rough edge on here so I tore the edge all around and came back and responged the edges. I used my cousin's Nestabilties to cut out the oval tag and stamped the Hero Arts sentiment in coffee bean as well. Found some gold brads for the corners and it was done! I love doing sponged backgrounds as it is really easy and goes very quickly.

I was going to do a video tutorial while I was at my cousins but we were too busy chatting and playing with her cats and time passed to quickly. We will try to get together again next week and will try hard to get a sponging tutorial taped. Wish me luck- I'm still learning how to edit the moveis and figure it out!


Here is a picture of me, my 2 older sisters, and my niece. We all went out for dinner and drinks the other night to celebrate my birthday and my nieces birthday as well- a bit early but that's fine with me!



Thanks for stopping by! Anne

    The sponged card is beautiful. the sentiment nested in the scallop oval is great and the way you tore your edges is perfect. It's a beauty Anne. You always make pretty happen!
