text: I hope you are all having a wonderful day. The sun is shining brightly here in Sydney, it is trully a glorious day. Everything is sparkling, just like the card I have to share with you today. I hope it adds a bit of sparkle and inspiration to your day.
  I was wanting to make a card the other day but didn't have a patterned paper that I thought would suit the embellishments I wanted to use. So I made my own.
  I must admit it was a bit of an experiment , but I think it turned out ok. Here is the card I made using the technique.
  You will need a piece of Whisper White card stock, sponges, and Classic Stampin Pads in the colours of your choice. I used Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight.
  Working on one colour at a time, all you do is press the sponge into the ink pad and then press onto the card stock.
  Press harder for a darker pattern and lighter for a more subtle pattern. Experiment with creating paterns or just randomly sponge like I did.
  Well thats what has happened here at Simply Stampin' with Narelle. I have a wonderful new banner, background and signature. Isn't it just gorgeous? And it's very me, so shabby chic and flowery and just beautiful.
  I am not talented enough to produce something like this thats for sure. So I asked Lynn from Lynn's Designer Digitals to create something gorgeous for me. And boy did she deliver!!!
  I recommend anyone who needs some digital design work done to contact Lynn. The service she offers is very professional, quick and very cost effective. You will not be dissappointed. Tell her I sent you over.
