Heaven Knows

Here's a quick and easy card that gets its "wow" factor from a simple sponging techinque. I created a mask by using a piece of typing paper run through the Big Shot with the largest of the Deco Labels Collection Framelits. It's pictured below after I've used it.

I simply laid the mask over top of my Whisper White cardstock and used a Soft Sky stamp pad and a Sponge to sponge color inside the mask. Keeping the mask in place, I stamped the flower from Fabulous Florets stamp set in StazOn Ink within the frame. When I removed the mask, I had this pretty main image created.

I loved the sentiment from Blessings from Heaven stamp set to coordinate with this card. It could be used for so many different purposes – friendship, encouragement, birthday or just thinking about someone.

And be prepared to see LOTS of lined envelopes in my posts! I'm totally hooked on the Envelope Liners Framelits. It's so quick to coordinate your card and envelope for that added polish! The various Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stacks found on pg. 152 of the Annual Catalog are the perfect purchase. Here I used the Subtles Collection to coordinate the Soft Sky paper in the envelope with the ink used on the card.
