Our very own SusanBri is Guest Designer for this challenge ... thanks for joining us Susan!! You can check out her beautiful card HERE.
I used two different ways to add sponging to this card. First, I sponged over top of a leafy stencil to create a background and bring focus on the hibiscus.
I also sponged on the hibiscus flower to add colour and depth.
The sentiment and gorgeous grunge spotty stamp are heat embossed in gold.

Those stenciled leaves make a fabulous background for that beautiful sponged Hibiscus! My favorite is the gold embossed Gorgeous Grunge (which I am in want of). This is really beautiful and a definite eye catcher in the gallery. LOVE this!
