It's been quite a while since I've posted a blog. My stampin supplies have been in limbo until today. I had to pack to move to a new apartment just before leaving for vacation. I moved in last weekend and today finally was able to unpack everything. I've missed making cards and had fun creating this one tonight.

I made this card for my brother Jeff's birthday. I love using the sponging technique to make cards. They always turn out so pretty. On the whisper white, I used post-it notes to border off the image (1/2 " on top, 1/2" on left, 1 1/4" on right, 1 1/4" on bottom). Then I sponged Ballet Blue on the top part of the image and Creamy Caramel and Close to Cocoa on the bottom. I then stamped my Inspired by nature over it with Basic Black. When you peel away the post it notes, it looks great against the whisper white.

To make this card I used:
Paper: Close to Cocoa, Whisper White
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Basic Black, Creamy Caramel, Ballet Blue
Stamps: Inspired By Nature, Family Phrases
Accessories: sponges, post-it notes

I got this idea from Laurel today. I used DSP to fill in my stamps and make a cute outfit and balloon for my baby card. I think I'll be trying this technique out more often!

I love love love the colour combination for this birthday card I made for my brother-in-law. I have been wanting the Circle Circus set for a while and I finally broke down and bought it.

To make this card I used:

Ink: Ballet Blue, Old Olive, Night Of Navy
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Circle Circus, Wonderful Favourites
Accessories: modern punch, window punch, night of navy ribbon, old olive brads

This is the first card I've made using the sponging technique for the background. I wasn't properly prepared so my card ended up with mixed results. I didn't have post it notes or anything to hold my paper that I used to make the white border, so it was difficult to sponge and stamp inside the lines. Also, I only had sponge daubers and they didn't really do what I wanted. They sponged in a circle pattern, which really wasn't what I was going for. I'll definitely try this technique again when I have the proper supplies. All in all, though, I like the card. It makes me feel like I'm at the beach.
