Challenge time again and this week I had the company of my lovely downline, Caroline. As well as some creative inspiration, Caroline also helped police my children who weren’t whisked off for the day this week. I must admit I did spend a long time staring at the sketch from Fab Friday and stroking the cardstock in the colours from TGIF, before finally getting a brainwave!
Here was the sketch from Fab Friday
and the colours from TGIF
and here is the card I came up with
I’ve used a base of Basic Gray with a mat from the Neutrals DSP Stack. My sentiment is from That Thing You Did and is embossed in white before I’ve sponged over in Pool Party and Daffodil Delight. A few random candy dots in Daffodil Delight as embellishment complete my card.
I hope you like my entry, do check out the challenge sites for some great creative inspiration.
Here is everything I used to make today’s card.
Until next time, happy crafting,

So pretty! Great background. Embossing is always a great idea! Thanks for playing at Fab Friday!
Very pretty card!! Love the sponging!! Thank you for joining us at Fab Friday!!!
Thank you Brenda, the two colours made for a perfect sponging combination!
I love using embossing powder to come through any kind of inking. Love this and thanks for playing at TGIF.
Thanks Cathy, heat embossing is one of my all time favourite techniques!
I love how you combined these two challenges and this color combo works great! The 2 colors of sponging over the embossing was a great idea!!! Thanks for playing at #TGIFC this week!
Thanks Jeanna, I really liked these 3 colours together, going to use this colour combo again!
Dots are totally my favorite decor element! They’re so happy – and this card is no exception, lol… I love the sponging over the embossing! I don’t do that enough… Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
I must admit I’m rather partial to dots too!
