This is for the CAS42 challenge - sponging technique. I love this technique along with the reverse masking technique. I used the negative oval from my Oval Nestabilities which is in the middle of an A2 size card front to cover the card. I sponged blue, green and some brown in the oval. I removed the mask and stamped the cattails and dragonfly from PaperTrey's Pond Life. I used a white gel pen to create some highlights. Then I go and mess it up by stamping the sentiment crookedly!! So that is why there are flowers at the bottom of the oval. I tried again with the sentiment and this time it was straight! This is a very quick and easy card to make.

Love how you did this. Awesome job on the sponging and having parts extend outside. Lovely card with a "very straight" sentiment. TFS :0)
