Studio Sunday #18: Sponged Edges


Hi everyone! Welcome to Studio Sunday!! It's Jen here. This week we are going to do a sponged edge tutorial! I'm going to walk you through the steps of getting smooth inked edges to achieve a nice vintage look or just add a bit of color to the edges of your projects.





So lets start off with supplies:



The basic supplies you need to sponge edges are: a sponge dauber, ink (Distress Ink or Memento Chalk Ink are highly recommended), blotting cardstock, and your card components.




To start off make sure you have your image on a sheet of cardstock or a few sheets of printer paper for blotting.



Next pick up some ink on the sponge dauber by directly daubing the sponge dauber on the ink pad.



Next blot the sponge once or twice on the blotting cardstock or printer paper.



Then very lightly swirl the ink onto the edge of your image/background cardstock or designer paper. You will just lightly touch the edge of the paper with the sponge using a small circular motion. It's best to build up layers of ink rather than immediately go straight to a dark value.





Continue this all the way down the side of the image being careful to keep the ink even and light.



Continue around the image until all the sides are finished.



Repeat on all as many parts of your card as you like (I tend to do everything that is light in color including designer paper.)



Last assemble your card!

There are lots of ways you can vary this. You can use different bright or pastel inks, you can layer similar colors of ink to create a richer edge, you can go deeper into the paper with the sponging and on and on. The sky is the limit!

So today's Studio Sunday challenge... try out the tutorial! Use sponging and a Sassy image on any project you like and share it with us. If you participate you will receive a FREE dollar deal image!!!

Be sure to leave your link in Mr. Linky if you participate!

It's a sad sad day in sassyland

hello ladies and gentlemen ( ok i say that cuz i don't honestly know if we have any male followers and if we do I wouldn't wanna leave them out ;) )
please pardon my typing in this post i am left with typing with 2 fingers....this has not been my year so far! my dog broke her nail before christmas $150.00 + there, i got bronchitis in jan, my computer monitor died on me a less than 2 weeks ago, my dog had to go back to the vet again for ear problems another $160.00 there and then today i got bit by a stray dog...the dog was eating my cats food that was on the front porch Ive seen her around for the past 3 days she looks sad and lost and hungry so i got dog food and treats and at first she was staying away but then as she realized we weren't gonna hurt her and the food was there for her she came closer and closer. she had a collar so my mom and i wanted to check and see if she had tags find her home ya know well....she didn't like it when i grabbed her collar she latched on to my hand and got me good i had a deep puncture wound on the top of my hand and a decently deep cut on the bottom of my palm and a few gashes and fleshy wounds to one of my fingers my hand is swollen and sore and i cant hardly do anything with it including typing, drawing, illustrator or photoshop or driving...I have no idea how long it will be til it is at least functioning without pain but no matter what it has put me behind in the image department for next release.

so my sad sad announcement is that i will probably have to postpone it...i am hoping only a week because i would love to still make it happen this month i had great plans but since i dont know how long it will take to be functional i cant say for sure.... I will say that for sure we will do something on the 15th but it might not be a new release, and if it isn't i do promise there will be a second release it just might be late so i will update you all as soon as i know for sure what is happening but i wanted to give you all a heads up so you know what to expect and aren't caught by surprise

so i hope you all will participate in my special Alice in wonderland challenge! you have all month to play and i cant wait to see what you all come up with...well i am gonna take more meds and head to bed hopefully things will be better in the morning.

but i hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week! only 1 day left til it's friday!!!
love and sassyness.
