 This is my take on the challenge:




I created the BG by sponging on a piece of white CS...

Take a piece a little bigger than the card size, and crumple it all up, lay it flat and smooth down just a bit...and then I sponged Ranger Distress Inks with my sponge brush...and kinda swirl the ink around...I used 3 different colours, 2 in the pinks and one Purple.


Then I ironed it flat between 2 pieces of paper........and it comes out like a marble effect...never 2 pieces alike...

After doing that I then finished the rest of the card by adding the verse...(which I kept small so as not to block the sponging) and the rest of the bling.


 

 Its alot of fun...and you can do any colour combination.
