This weeks challenge...or is it now last weeks?...anyway the challenge was clean and simple with sponging. Hmmm. I know how to do sponging. But how do you sponge something AND keep it CAS?!?! ACK!
I decided I'd use a piece of DSP with a very subtle print from Basic Grey's Jovial line, stamp on it with Distress Ink (and, yes, I embossed it...so sue me), then...sponged all over THAT!! Turned out pretty cool! I had pre-cut and embossed the paper using Petite Oval Nestabilities and my Cuttlebug. Once all the sponging was done I stamped my sentiment at the bottom, then using foam squares I popped up my oval, and rounded the two opposite corners of the card. DONE!
I posted the card on Splitcoast with relatively low expectations since I haven't been very crafty lately and the talent pool over there is WOW!!!! But...today I get notified that my card was part of the Faves of the Week! From two different people!! YAY!!! How cool is that? I'm so excited. Makes me so happy. And I feel a little good. I think there may even be a smile forming. ;)

See, you CAN do a fussy CAS! HAHAH! I never would have thought to sponge and stamp on patterned paper. I keep forgetting to play with that idea.
BEEEEAUTIFUL, and well-deserved. :)
