{Spotlight Project} Cornelia Does Some Joyful Sponging



Hi, it's Cornelia again with another sponged Christmas card and this wonderful stamp set, Joyful.




I started out by selecting some of the sentiments from the set and stamped a border with them. I also stamped the gift box and fussy cut it.


Used Copics to color the gift.


I then masked the side along the sentiment border...


...and sponged it with distress inks.


Lastly, I cut a thin strip of gold foil paper and glued it onto the sponged area.


I mounted the gift box with foam tape and added glossy accents to the ornaments.

Happy Sponging!
