Freshly Made Sketches 323

Hello there!  Today is, of course, Wednesday and we've got a new sketch debuting at Freshly Made Sketches.  Our hostess this week is Karren, and her sketch is awesome.  There are so many things you can do with it.  My card was inspired by her card in that I sponged a background.

There was another challenge last week that wanted to see ombre so that gave me inspiration to sponge ink from light to dark on my background.  It's well documented here that sponging and me don't get along all that well but I'm happy to say that I've found some paper that I find easy to work with and I try not to use such a heavy hand when applying the ink and the results aren't half bad.  When my background was said and done I spritzed a few drops of water on it to jazz it up a bit.  Then I added that big ol' "you" in black which I like very much.  The contrast between the background and the sentiment is just the look I was going for.  The code word at Addicted to CAS is teal, so that's why I chose that color! :)

I sure hope you check out the cards from our always-amazing Freshly Made Sketches design team.  They will surely inspire you to play along with us this week!

Thanks for stopping by!
