Well there are a million and one other things that I should be doing- but once again I have been beguiled by my stamps and inks and this afternoon made this card for Fall to Layout # 121 at Clean and Simple stamping . It is also for CAS# 98 at SCS which was to be inspired by this photo of a "Prairie" apron. I immediately thought of "Little House on the Prairie" ( a TV show I used to love watching) but I could not get any "house" images to work ...so settled for this cute little bird instead. I loved the colours and the mix of patterns . I did not have anything the same but did my best to find some in my stash that I hope give a similar effect. Are you impressed with my sponging ??- inspired by Jo Bear I went down to the chemist and bought myself a "sea sponge". Check out her beautiful Christmas cards using "Peaceful Wishes" to be inspired too. Like she says- the sponges are a bit pricey but they last for ages and I have been very much happier with the effects I am able to achieve with it-so it is worth a try if you also have been having trouble with this technique.
