Hello everyone....are you ready for a super fun and easy challenge??? I am the hostess this week for Splitcoast's Technique Lover's Challenge (TLC290) ...today we are going to do lace sponging!That's right....we are going to sponge over lace to create some beautiful layers!!!
I used a fairly long piece of lace to cover most of the background. If you use a shorter piece of lace be sure to mask off the part of the card you don't want to sponge.
The sides of the lace were taped to the paper underneath for a little stability and then Rose Red was used to sponge on the Pink Pirouette cardstock. Try not to move the lace or the cardstock so the finished product doesn't become smugged.
Who needs background stamps when you can use lace. The bonus to this technique is that you can use the lace on a card when the ink is dry...LOL!!!
Recipe: Stamps: Gina K. Botanicals, Nina Brackett's Hugs and Prayers for the sentiment
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla
Ink: Rose Red
Accessories: Nestabilities, Zva Pearl Flourish, Glittered Prima Rose, Lace
OK, so you don't have any lace...you can punch a border and use it as a stencil. You can also punch both sides of the cardstock strip, sponge, and then sponge a piece of lace in the center....wouldn't that make a beautiful border!!!
If you have stencils like the Glimmer Screens above by Tattered Angels...by all means use them.
Fresh Snow from Papertrey Ink was sponges onto Ruby Red cardstock...you can use Glimmer Mist or any other kind of ink mister spray if you want...what ever flips you skirt!!
Now, go find some lace and create something FABO!!!! Thanks for stopping by....be sure to check out the TLC #290 challenge on Splitcoast...I would love to see what you come up with!!!!

Lacey-STARZZZZ!
These are mega-fantabulous examples, Ms. Joan!! Thank you bunches for the additional ideas ... as .... alas, no lace is actually available here. (I know ... how can that be in this ... the hoarder's haven?!!)
(((hugs)))
Great tutorial, thanks! Love the lace card, absolutely beautiful.
terrific techniques Joan!
Oh, that lace card is GORGEOUS!!!! What a work of art! Ok, I might just have to try this...the trick will be to resist stamping until I get the cleaning of the day done. :(

p.s. Dotto underneath the card stock would keep it from walking around while you're sponging.
Very very cool. Is the lace real lace or is it paper lace? I think that is beautiful and such a great idea. Gonna have to try that one. LOVE it...
Great idea! Got to go through my stash and find the lace! TFS.
My brother recommended I might like this blog. He used to be
entirely right. This submit actually made my day.
You can not believe just how so much time I had spent for this info!
Thanks!
