Sponged Sky

Create a sky in no time at all with a few dabs of your sponge.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Ink the rounded part of a sponge by pressing directly on an ink pad. Ranger Distress Broken China was used here.
   
   Important Hint:
   Before moving on to the next step, remove extra ink by rubbing sponge on scrap paper. The soft look is achieved with very little ink.

   

2. Step 2

   Use a circular motion to apply ink, leaving many white open spaces. Re-ink your sponge, remove excess ink and continue sponging ink randomly.
   
   Different cardstocks will give different looks - the cardstock on the left is smooth white and on the left is textured white.
   
   

   

3. Continue adding color until you have the color that you want.

   

4. Step 3

   Finish your card using your Sponged Sky.
