Dawn McVey is one of my favorite card designers at Papertrey Ink. She is hosting the challenge for Make it Monday this week. The challenge: Sponged Stamping. Please see her VIDEO HERE. I got really carried away and sponge stamped my patterned paper and my birds and the flower inside the orange bird and even my sentiment! Fun challenge PTI!
My design was inspired by Lesley at Always Playing with Paper challenge blog.
My colors were inspired by the Queen Arielle at colourQ
I hope you will stop by each of these great challenge blogs and join in the fun!

Patti
Supplies:

Hi Patti~ There's so much inky goodness going on in your sweet card! The birds came out fabulous and I love the soft background you've created too. Enjoy playing with your new goodies! Have a great day!
Dear Patti, so sorry I haven't been around for the past week - I've been sick with a nasty flu. Still miserable but I finally did some crafting and I wanted to get caught up on your cards that I missed. Thank you for your sweet words on my blog - it's nice to know I was missed! Your card is gorgeous! This is a cool technique and I love how it turned out!
Oh wow, Patti, this is so soft and pretty.
Wow! Those birds are so pretty and I especially love the soft colors you've used as well!! Thanks for sharing the video...have to go check it out now!! HUGS

Beautiful card.
Patti, your sponged birds in those soft and subtle colors look elegant. Perfect Easter card with colors of Spring!
I am catching up on comments finally! It is so funny you used these birds - I was just thinking of them a few days ago and remembering a card you did a while back with birds (maybe these). Beautiful - love the colors!
No doubt about it, you've nailed both challenges! Your sponging is spot-on beautiful and even the sentiment is a rainbow of fun! Wow!
Oh I don't think you got carried away AT ALL!! This is GORGEOUS Patti. It' soft and dreamy, I just love it!!

Really pretty colors on those sweet birds! The background looks so lovely, too! Thanks for sharing! :)
This is so soft and pretty and makes a wonderful Easter card.
Gorgeous soft colors! Your multicolor sentiment is perfect with the birds. I love how you transitioned the blue and orange colors on the birds and background, and it's not at all muddy looking.
This a great technique. The sponging creates a soft background. Really pretty effect. Thanks for sharing the link, Patti.
