I love sponging. There is just something about pulling off the masking paper to reveal this sharp line between the white cardstock and the sponged on ink that makes me giddy every time! If it wasn’t for the fact that my fingers end up with as much ink on them as the cardstock, I would do it much more often.
The sentiment is an Easter hymn called “He Is Risen.” It has been computer generated.
With so many “Spring” themes this week/month, today’s card is entered into several challenges:

Your sponging is always flawless. Beautiful card, Susan.
Your sponging is downright amazing, and with the sun in the corner and the pretty flowers in the foreground, this moves right up to spectacular! Very nice balance with the verse and the “happy Easter, too. Really love it, Susan!
