Timeless Tulips Sponged

You can create some really fun effects when you apply ink using a sponge.  

For this card, made with the Timeless Tulips stamp set, 

I've used the sponge to create depth for the background 

and to provide some color variation on the flower petals.

To get  the color variation I inked the lighter color from the ink pad

and then sponged the darker color on top before applying stamp to paper.

Here's another fun one also done by sponging color onto the stamp itself.
sometimes I feel like my messy stamp room is a "Little Shop of Horrors"!

You can see a short video showing this technique here

and also showing how to make the fork bow on the top card.
