Technique : Sponged Sunset
Ink the rounded part of a sponge by pressing directly on an ink pad. Here I used, in order, working myself up the cardstock, Close to Cocoa, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango.
Use a circular motion to apply ink. Re-ink your sponge, remove excess ink and continue sponging ink randomly. Continue adding color until you have the color that you want.
Step 3.
Finish your card using your sponged background. Here I stamped the grass from the Inspired by nature stamp set in Chocolate Chip. To make it look like cat tails, I used the Horizontal Slot Punch to punch out the shapes in Chocolate Chip and then glued them on with the 2 way glue pen.
Stamp set: Inspired by Nature, Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: Kraft, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango (retired)
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango (retired)

More Animal Stories and Tall Tales
This morning I am trying something different. I have been seeing all of these different color and sketch challenges on crafters blogs and decided today would be the day that I try one out! A little scary but I actually like what I came up with.
As I mentioned in my post on Friday, I absolutely love the new Animal Stories stamp set and the matching Tall Tales Designer Paper. I have been wanting to do a card with the cute whale and matching paper for weeks now! So what better then to use it for the Mojo Monday Challenge - Sketch 94...
I used So Saffron, Chocolate Chip and the new Bermuday Bay. I stamped the whale in Bermuda Bay on Whisper White cardstock. I wanted the whale to be floating in water so I took out my Big Shot and Scribbles die and cut 2 out of vellum cardstock. I cut all the "scribbles" apart. With my Bermuda Bay marker, I colored a little on one side, then flipped it over. I used my 2 way glue pen to glue the "waves" to the Whisper White cardstock and added a little glitter, using the glue pen as well. I then cut around my whale before gluing it to a piece of So Saffron. A piece of 1/4" Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon hides all the little cut "tails" of the scribbles. It was then mounted on the piece of So Saffron using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Here is a closer look:

Faux Wood Technique
Supplies
Stamp set: Party Hearty
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Kraft, Very Vanilla
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel (craft)
Paper: Manchester (retired)
Accessories: Scallop Circle punch, 3/4" Circle punch, Chocolate Chip Stampin' write marker, Stamping sponges, ruler, paper cutter, Stampin' Dimensionals
To get the wood look, you simply drag your ink pad across your piece of card stock. I used Kraft cardstock and started with my Close to Cocoa ink pad first. I did the same thing with the Chocolate Chip, and then Creamy Caramel. I then used a ruler and traced lines at every 3/4" with my Chocolate Chip marker. I free handed the "planks" and finished the wood background by adding nail holes. Pretty simple, right?
Happy Sunday!
