Sponged Wetlands

Ever wonder why you say you'll do something then ask yourself later "Why did I do that?!  That's me with today's card! lol  Yup, I told my upline that I'd do a demo at our monthly meeting.  Actually I didn't mind it a bit. :)  I love sponging on my cards and knew I would want to do some sort of sponging.  At first I thought I'd do flowers of some sort, but since I didn't want to cut any flowers out and love the Wetlands stamp set I went with that.  I used this week's Color Throwdown challenge for my colors.  I took one look at them and liked what I saw. :)   I did have to change a couple of colors since I didn't have them, but got as close as I could.  Well, after I finished my sample card I thought maybe we should all give it a try at the meeting!  Sure, why not?!  I emailed my upline and she said sure.  I must say they did a great job on their cards!  They all looked different (just like my samples below), but that's what making cards is all about. :)  Wish I had brought my camera to take pics of all of them.  

This was the first card I made...


This was a second sample so we weren't all trying to look at one card... 


 And this is the one I made as we were working together...

    1. Hi, Pat. Thanks...glad you like my sponging. :) When I sponged this card I did a lot of dragging, swirling and little masking. I know, sounds strange, but that's how I did it. I did make a video, but could never get it to upload. If I get a chance sometime maybe I'll have to try and see if it will upload.
