Hello again.
I've got another card ---
SPIES:
PAPER: White cardstock (Core'dinations).
INK: Lagoon, turquoise, mist (SEI); Summer sky (Memento).
EXTRAS: Leaf die (Taylored Expressions); Poinsettia die (Poppy Stamps); Noel die (Spellbinders); Stitched rectangle mat.
When I saw the challenge photo at Less Is More, I decided to sponge. I love sponging. It's easy and effortless. It always comes out beautiful (I think). And since I sponged, I can enter it in Shopping Our Stash challenge too, which is use your favorite technique. I have several favorites, but this one is one of the quickest for a nice effect. I used a stitched rectangle mat to cut my opening in the card. And, yeah, I did use a new die, the poinsettia. I sometimes forget SOS is for your current "stash".
FOR FOLLOWING CHALLENGES:
Less Is More - #201 Color Challenge
Shopping Our Stash - #180 Favorite Technique
Noel Blessings!

Just gorgeous and so much beautiful detail too.
Oh, hahahahahaha about the die! It's still stash, just a bit newer. We encourage you to use what you already have, but some of us *ahem* have a large collection of new stash, too.
I have to agree with a sponged background being a fabulous technique. I employ it often, and yours uses some of my favorite colors. The dies are perfect with it.
Thanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash!
