Hello! ready to hop?
Our Blog Hop starts and ends at the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog. If you came here from Andrea's blog you're on the right track, when you leave me you'll be heading over to Kylie's fabulous Blog. This week we feature the beautiful Squared Posies designed by Andrea.
This is officially my second attempt at sponging a large area though this time I didn't use 'that man's' special tool! I found out that what I have are just felt pads and not the correct foam ones...which might explain the difficulty I had with my first try! So.... I've used foam daubers to sponge these until I get the right sponges :).
I stamped each image with VersaMark and embossed with ABS opaque vanilla embossing powder then masked and sponged with distress inks. This is a great way to colour a flower if shading scares you or you want to produce a bunch of cards quickly.
OK, off you go to see Kylie's beautiful offering today, don't forget to grab the AnnaBelle Birthday Bash Blinkie here.
I'm back Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations hope to see you then.

Wow, that sure is a stunning affect. Now I know where I'm going wrong with the sponging - i cheated and cut up felt for my tool thinking it would save me some $, obviously it doesn't work so well :)
