I love to sponge. It is one of my favorite techniques. So when I read today's challenge, I could hardly wait to play, even tho I am a little late.
Here is why I am late. DD worked with me again today, what fun. After work we went to see the horse she is going to be owner of. His name is Max. But that's another story......my card.....
Funny thing, I drew this snowman and colored him. Printed out a black and white copy for a mask and ended up using the black and white copy. Go figure.
Took tiny torn pieces of paper, stuck them all around for snowflake masks, then sponged on going gray. Removed the masks, doodled around the snowflakes, versa marked and clear ep.
Made another snowman mask, put it on and sponge on more going gray. Layered with orange AC cs then put it on a Gray AC card. Added color to the carrot and cheeks. Plus I added a bow.
Well, have a great week. Hope you like my black and white snowman...I'll be using the colored one soon I'm sure.........TFL :0)

Honestly, you need to be a stamp designer! Your drawing of the snowman is exceptional. I like it better than most of the snowman stamps from major companies! Great job. Best, Curt

When are you going to put your images to rubber?... or even polymer, or whatever the clear stamps are made of. Anyway,
how adorable is your snowman. He's just embracing those cute snowflakes - how cleverly you made them. Love this.
