I made today's card to practice up on my sponging technique since I plan on having a sponging class. Let me tell you this is definitely not how my card started out! I had actually sponged a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Natural White card stock, but couldn't figure out how to put that size onto a card without it being boring. So I gave up last night and surprise, surprise I couldn't fall asleep. That's when I started thinking about the different sketch challenges I went through yesterday and how I could use one of them to put my pic on the card. So how did I come up with it? I used the Mojo Monday sketch challenge #318 to layer my sponged picture on, but knew I needed a bit more. So I used the chevron half of the Friday Mashup challenge #134. I know my daughter will love it because there's no white! lol
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

This came out absolutely fabulous! Love the mixture of the two sketches. And sponging a smaller main panel definitely makes your life easier. Thanks for joining the Friday Mashup this week.
