This is amazing project was my inspiration for today. I just love everything about this card, the layers, the sponged framelits, everything!

Cindy's card inspired me to make this creation.

Although it is not clear in the photo, both the reindeer and the bow are coloured by sponging on Whisper White card stock, which allowed me to add some texture to the image by using different shades of ink.

This was a tough choice, so many lovely projects to choose from Allison is one talented lady. For some reason one card in particular stood out for me, so I thought I would give it a go.

As it goes with crafting sometimes nothing seemed to work. I loved the look of Allison's card and I so wanted mine to look just as stunning. Well my first problem was I do not own filter paper and I wanted, no needed that look. So I tried to create a similar look by scrunching up vellum.

Well it kind of worked, it did give me texture and Allison's card had lots of different textures so it was definitely in the same spirit.

To be honest with you this card just didn't turn out the way I pictured it in my head. I decided that I would still share it with you today, as everyone has different tastes and it may please someone. But I did decide to give it another go and see what else I could come up with.

For this card I used whisper white card stock, scrunched it up and then sponged some blushing bride to highlight the lines I had created in the card. The next layer I distressed and then sponged the edges with blushing bride as well.

Which card do you like the best?
