Geometric Sponging


Hi Everyone.  Prior to starting our Group of Seven Cardmakers blog, our group kept in touch during Covid and started trying out new and (revised) older techniques.  We are including them as a reference for those that are interesting in trying them out.

Supplies:
  • Straight Edge
  • Light inks - three (versions of primary colours work well)
  • Sponge brushes
  • Card stock or mixed media paper


Technique Instructions:

Following video above ...
  • Place straight edge on paper.  
  • Lightly load a sponge brush with your first colour (remove excess ink so you only have a little ink on your brush)
  • Lightly stroke your brush on an angle from the straight edge, fading out as you go (feathering)
  • Continue to move straight edge and repeat with the other two colours
  • Add more lines of sponging until you're happy with the look

A simple technique that makes an artistic and geometric background.
