Today's card was inspired by a card I saw in the SU! 2019 Holiday Catalog on p. 27. My card doesn't look anything like their card, but it got an idea going and I created from there.
Sponging is one of my favorite techniques, but it can be slow going depending on what sponging method I use. Sometimes I dab, sometimes I rub the sponge back and forth or in circular motions. Other times it can be a combination of all of the above. Today's card was all dabbing which is takes the longest of the three to get the effect I want.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

All of the ink pads that I used to create the sponged background are listed below. I started by dabbing the lightest ink in the middle of my card stock and going out toward the edges. I didn't cover all the card stock, just enough to keep a light circle in the middle. Then I added each color from the second lightest to the darkest moving from the outer edges and corners toward the middle. Each time I added more ink I made sure I didn't sponge in as far as the previous color. I hope that makes sense! I stamped a few bushes, cut out some white card stock and sponged the edges with a few of the blues. I also stamped the deer on watercolor paper and used an aqua painter and my ink pads and a black marker to color him in...and then, yes, I fussy cut him out.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
