Hello there and welcome back for another Monday Montage blog hop. Can you believe that this hop is hop #49? Where does the time go? If I'm your first stop on the hop- great! Be sure to use the buttons at the bottom of this post to navigate back to Cathy Casey or next to Dara Gloden. I know they have some awesome projects to share with you!
I have a beautiful card to share with you tonight. I knew it was love at first sight when I got to see the Jingle All The Way stamp set and coordinating Sleigh Ride Edgelits at Convention. They are simply gorgeous!

To create the background of this card- I sponged the entire Whisper White layer with Tempting Turquoise. I then sponged Island Indigo in random spots for contrast. I finished it off by sponging Blackberry Bliss all over the card being careful not to cover up all of the other colors. I tend to be a perfectionist so creating this card was definitely a challenge for me! Do you see the white flecks in the background? That was done by squeezing my Aqua Painter until water started to flow out of it. Then I flicked it all over the inked background.
Sadly, I am not the original creator of this technique. I'm not exactly sure who is however my fabulous Inking Everything teammate Ruthie Graen showed me how she made hers so I figured I'd try it out for myself. I LOVE it! Thanks Ruthie!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love the gorgeous, rich background. The white flecks are awesome! Love this card!
