Sponging Backgrounds

When you have special stamps and dies that you don't want Designer Series Paper competing with, just sponge a simple coordinating background. Without extra images to distract the eye, your main images will really pop out at you. I've done several cards with this simple sponged background in different colors, and they all look good. This one is one of my favorites. Check out the gallery on page 'How to Make Cards', to see some of the other versions.
