On to December's challenge ...
This month we want you to use sponging on your card. Make sure to include some stamping (a little or a lot), sponging, and then pick something from the "Your Choice" list in the right sidebar to add in.
There are lots of ways sponging can add colour, texture, and dimension. Show us your favourite way to add sponging to a card, or learn something new by trying a new sponging technique.
We are so excited to have Maura (beesmom at SCS) as our Guest Designer this month. She made this gorgeous card that was the winner of October's Ghosting Challenge.
