Just Us Girls #351 Using CAS-ual Fridays


Hi all - I am the hostess over on the Just Us Girls Blog this week.  The trend I chose is sponging.

I started with CAS-ual Fridays Curtis Background embossed in clear.  Using my Memento Inks, I sponged over the entire panel.  Once done, I took a paper towel and wiped off any ink from the embossed background.  When I placed it on the card base, I decided to add another sponged background panel using 3 different blues, to really make the focal panel pop. I used the Smiling Fri-Die, and a sentiment from Sassy Smiles.  I am loving the contrast of sponged panels a lot. :)
