This is my first attempt at masking and sponging on a card. I sponged a variety of colors to obtain this look. First, I cut out a 3/4 inch circle and placed it on the card. Next I sponged the sky (and around the circle) with lighter browns and yellows (more mustard, crumb cake). Then I removed the circle and sponged the sun in peach parfait. I used soft sueded and a piece of torn paper to obtain the background darker areas. I stamped Lovely as a Tree in black ink and then lighly sponged green along the bottom of the card. I need to practice a bit more but was happy with my first attempt. 🙂
