Spongy doodling

Been busy this weekend with DT stuff but found time to make a card for a couple of challenges that caught my eye. Over at 'Less is More' the girls have asked for doodling - where as this normally reminds me of boring Uni lectures I really enjoyed having a go at this. I combined it with the opposites attract challenge at 'CAS-ual Fridays' and have used Aqua and Orange shades of distress inks. 
I masked off the top of the card with sticky notes and placed a stencil on the bottom half, which I sponged through.  The challenge over at 'Just Us Girls' this week is sponge a layer.  
I then took to it with my pen and 'doodled' away. A stamped sentiment finished off.
I'm also going to enter this over at 'Anything Goes' . 

Hope you have all had a good weekend - thanks for visiting...Esther xx
