This is my card for Dawn's 'See the Light' challenge today. I've been making a lot of this style of card lately, primarily because I've discovered that a really fabulous way to do nice sponging is by using distress ink on strathmore mixed media vellum finish paper. Goes on like butter.
TFL!

Now, I see I need to buy more paper. Let's see, how do I explain that one to my husband. But from the looks of your card here and the swirly one, it will be worth it to hear, "You bought more WHAT"!
