204- Inspired by Nature Sponging Card


I held an advanced technique class to make 3 cards that were presented at our team megameeting in January. As soon as I saw the cards I knew that I wanted to make them because they were so fantastic. This is the first card that we made and it involved two techniques that I've been wanting to practice- sponging and brayering. This card was presented by Laura Robinson and I just adore the finished product

Recipe:

Paper: Glossy White, More Mustard, Ruby Red

Ink: More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red, Really Rust, Bravo Burgundy
