rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge #274

 Good Morning, Stampers!

(click photo to enlarge)

Thank you for joining me for this week's 

rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge!

I love the benefits of #simplestamping - time saver, 

minimal supplies, simplicity, etc. but sometimes it can be a 

little too simple for me and I want just a little more. That's where

sponging comes in. It can add a little texture or dimension

as a little "faux" layering. Here, I've added some cloud 

layers with a sponge, some ink and a border die.

I cut the border from a scrap piece of cardstock.

I placed the border along the bottom of the card

front and lightly sponged around the top. I 

worked my way up repeating the process and

angling the die a little different each time. It looks like

the balloon is soaring through the clouds!
