I was inspired by a recent post on the Close To My Heart Blog about the Sponging and Droplet technique, so I decided to give it a go myself!

For the first card, I used the wow factor stamp, stamped in Eggplant over a Lilac and Blossom ponged background. 



Here's a close up where you can see the effect of the sponging and droplet technique- it makes any white cardstock turn into a beautiful marbled style background.




For the next card, I stuck with Mint and Emerald and used one of the smaller sentiment stamps with the banner stamp. The house was cut on the Cricut from the You Are Here cartridge and I just added a simple red glitter heart for embellishment.




Once again, here is a close up of the background so that you can see the colour variant and the splatters.



The great thing about this technique is you can personalise it completely with colours, stamping and embellishments.

Now "Hop" on over to Carrie's Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!
