Use Simple Sponging Technique To Add More Color & Interest
Sometimes, all you need is some simple sponging to add more color and interest to a card. For instance, the sponging on this card adds a patina to the background. In addition, it draws the eye towards the key images and sentiment.
This lovely sponged card was one of four make and takes at my Sale-a-bration Open House events. Since I know that not all of you are able to attend these fun events, I like to share the tutorials with you! Get the tutorial – CLICK HERE

Preparing for my Open House events takes an enormous amount of time. Consequently, I am unable to do a blog post for all of my creations. Since that is the case, I thought I would share two projects per post for a few weeks even though Sale-a-bration is over. (Some of the projects may contain Sale-a-bration stamps. I will try to recommend a substitution when possible).
This Card Has A Fun Feature!
This fun card has no sponging. However, it does have a fun feature that is quite easy to do! This cute frog from So Hoppy Together literally leaps right off the card! Plus, this style of card can be created with any critter that you have in your stamp stash! To make your critter leap off the card all you need is:
- Window Sheet
- Scoring Tool
- Bone Folder
- Glue Dots
I cut a strip of Window Sheet about 1/2″ wide and about 1-1/2″ long. Then, I scored it every 1/2″. After scoring, I creased it into a zig zag (Z) with my bone folder. Lastly, I used glue dots to attach it to the frog and card. How simple is that? Get the supplies you need to create this card:

Please note that Sale-a-bration is over and the So Hoppy Together stamp set is no longer available. However, I think the squirrel from Fable Friends would be a great substitution if you don’t own So Hoppy Together!
