I haven’t done a lot of sponging on my cards in quite a while so decided that the retiring Corner Garden background stamp was the perfect set for it.
All I did was stamp the image with the Archival Basic Gray ink(it gives a softer outline) and then sponged several different colours over the flowers and leaves. I used Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and Pink Pirouette and love the way it turned out. Adding the pearls finishes it off just perfectly!
I used this great sketch from Freshly Made Sketches as my starting point.
So, there you go, maybe a little “homework” for you for the weekend maybe? Give it a try, sponging adds just the right amount of colour when you’re looking for a softer feel.
Here’s the short list of items I used:

Have an excellent weekend and Happy Stamping!
Very nice! One of my favorite stamps and I love the sponging.
Thanks for the visit Diane and for leaving a comment.
What a pretty card! I love those soft colours and sweet flowers! I can’t wait of the flowers to start blooming around here! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
I hope so too. Flowers had such happiness to a yard don’t they.
Very soft and pretty! Love the sponged effect on the flowers! Glad you joined us at FMS!
Thanks so much Linda.
