I've seen MariLynn's cards, and I've seen the tutorial in the Resources section but this is a technique I haven't tried before. Not being good at either brayering or sponging, I decided to A) go with sponging as per the tutorial in the Resources section, and B) to start small with an ATC - especially since I needed one and already had some card cut down to size on my desk.
I used ColorBox Pigment chalks in Aqua and Lavender, and chalk inks in Pistachio, Glacier Ice and Daffodil. Coloured the snowman's hat and scarf with H2Os and added Polar White Flower Soft for the trim and ground. I used the snow from Merry and Bright with silver ink and a little Papermania music stamp with black ink for the frame, and edged the ATC with a silver pen.
Thank you MariLynn, for hostessing today.

Sabrina, this is adorable. I love the sheet music and your cute little snowman. The sponging looks fabulous. The white flower soft looks awesome as snow.
