Both the leaves and the sentiment were stamped in StazOn Black and then I did my sponging. To make the leaves look a shade lighter than the sentiment all I did was sponge ColorBox Frost White over them. How easy is that? I use ColorBox Frost White quite a bit when creating my Stampscapes scenes to soften and lighten my background colors. It also works great for blending colors when you are sponging.
Thank you for stopping to see me today. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello Donna
ReplyDeleteI like the technique you used for this card.
I used a 40% off coupon at Michaels today to buy a Martha Stewart heat gun for embossing and hope to play with it soon.
Now that the gardens are in order, I need to get creative inside.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card. I have colorbox frost white and I don't think I've ever used it. Now you've given me an idea for how to finally use it.
