I made this card for today's CAS challenge to do some sponging. Sponging is my favorite stamping technique! I used my Nestabilites to create a reverse mask and then sponged Soft Suede ink onto the open space, leaving a bit of light area in the center. I stamped the berry image from Infinite Goodness in this space. After coloring the image with blender pens, I used the Soft Suede marker to do some faux piercing around the oval. Then I used my Scorepal to create some texture on the card. I tried adding a ribbon or cord, but nothing looked right.
I was sick all last week, so didn't get to any of the challenges, so this is also for Friday's Limited Supply challenge to make a tall card. This one is a small tall card.

Kathy, this is so pretty!! This technique with the nesties just doesn't work for me, so I am in awe of you for doing it so well. I love the RED berries, of course!
