A quick card I did for a CAS challenge a few weeks ago on the Less is More blog.
I masked off a 1" area and sponged on Ranger Distress Inks. Then mask off a 1/4" area to sponge on just the Peacock Feathers which was actually to hide an area where the sponge went under the paper...nothing is ever a mistake, just another reason to get creative!
The Scor-Pal was used to emboss the lines across the the card and I did the same on the envelope from the sponged area to the opposite edge.
