Fun with Stampin’ Up! Sponges

It's Wednesday and this means it's my turn for Stampin' Girls Gone Wild! I had so much fun creating this card and playing with such a simple stamping tool- SPONGES!

The sponges come 3 per pack and I like to cut each one up into 8 little pie shaped pieces. I've started to label them so that I can keep organized and make sure that they stay with the same ink colour.

 

I've used a fun new stamp set called Happy Day that has a nice mix of images and greetings and created a background with Island Indigo, Marina Mist & Early Espresso ink.

I think the gold embossed butterflies really make a lovely touch to this card…don't they look so magical?!

Here are the supplies I used on today’s project:
