Good Friday morning ~
It's Inspiration challenge time over at Just Add Ink.
This one scared me off a bit and I procrastinated for ages and ages over what I was going to do. I'm no good at sponging or using my brayer and of course this pic was screaming out for one or the other. Fortunately for me the super talented and lovely Paula did a fabulous tutorial on a quick CAS way of sponging just a few days ago. Thank you so so much Paula!
As you can see I've CASEd Paula using the JAI Inspiration colours. This is my very first attempt at sponging this way and while it is far from perfect I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I'm definitely going to keep trying this and get better at it.
Don't let the Inspiration pic put you off the way it did me. Go check out Paula's tutorial and give it a try, you'll be surprised at how easy it is once you know the basic steps. If you don't fancy sponging or brayering just use the colours in the pic the way Delys did this week. Most of all just have fun with it.
Enjoy your weekend!
You may think you're not good at sponging, my friend, but you are wrong!! What a stunning card; you've captured Paula's style perfectly! Love this, P xx
ReplyDeleteI snuck sometime and look what I found! This is pretty awesome P! Overlaying the leafy branch on the sponging looks stunning. GREAT sponging!!
