Joyful Sponging


Hi, its Cornelia again
 with another sponged Christmas card and this wonderful stampset - Joyful. 








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


Used Copics to color the box


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!
