I used the new Nautical Netting from Gina K Designs to do the sponging on it like a mask. I just used a bit of tape to kinda hold it in place, the non permanent kind, and started sponging. AND this stuff holds sponging too! The netting is actually a more lighter color IRL. And then I just used the piece I had used for the sponging as an accent on the card too. I wish I had of distress the edges of the paper, then I think I would have like it better...not real happy with how it turned out, my rose's coloring kinda blah...oh well, I wanted to post because I think using the netting for a mask was pretty cool, lol! The rose if from Asela's newest set from Gina K Designs.
Here is one card I did show at the release party:
I was going for a night time scene, with a big ole new moon rising! And how it looks kinds foggy sometimes. I have only been to the ocean 3 times in my lifetime, but this was one scene I did see, soo gorgoues, how the moon sparkles on the water, which mine isnt doing THAT justice, lol! Anyways, I do like how this card turned out, lol! I added the stripes on the lighthouse too.
And I will be posting more tomorrow, I decided not to bombard you all in one post, LOL!
And on Friday, I will be posting another guest spot using Theresa Momber's brand new set from Gina K, and you will have a chance to win that set!
Ok, think that's it for today! Hope you had a wonderful weekend, back to the grind tomorrow, huh? I won't rub it in that I don't work, lol! Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderfully creative week!

Cat your cards are amazing as usual and the distressed rose card is perfect. I love the sponging over the netting.
WoW WoW WoW! Now this is some major MOJO here! Your cards are just beautiful and love the details you add to all your cards.
Both of your cards are beautiful, but I especially love the lighthouse. Just TOO cute!
Beautiful cards! I love these two sets... You have such an eye for color scheme!
I love the sponging you did with the netting - free patterned paper! The whole look is lovely and balanced. The sponging on the lighthouse is amazing - saw it on Gina's site :)
