Sponged Grass

Published by inkypaws at 1:33 am under Elzybells, Tutorials

On yesterday’s post (here) I talked about how I make sky using a sponge. Today I’m going to tell you about how I do my sponged grass.

I do it the same way! hehe……

It’s a little different, but not different enough to run you through a bunch of pictures to describe it. I mask my image and then take my sponge with green ink (I used Peeled Paint) and sponge in my grass area. Then I take my blue (I used Broken China) and sponge in the sky. Its OK if there is a little overlap in color. If you are worried about the overlap you can always mask the areas before sponging. I choose not to worry about it. Smiley from millan.net

After I have my sky and grass finished I add little lines with a couple of colors of green markers to mimic little grassy areas. I used Copic YG63 and YG95 on this card.

Here’s my card:

    Jeannie, your card is adorable. I love your art work. Thanks for instructions. I’m not much of a masking person, but this is fantastic and I ‘ll have to give it a try.
