This technique does create a soft dreamy effect; it's so pretty. I need to get a Christmas card done this month, that is my goal to add a minimum of one each month!
Adorable photo of Jessie and Vi - I sure do miss seeing both of them!
Love your sponge bleeding with the beautiful poinsettia stencil. I need to give it another try as I wasn't that happy with my first results. Great card design too with the oval die cut and the silver embossed sentiment.
Super duper fun, Loll!! I love that hazy look!! It really pops from that bright white surrounding it!

Such a pretty effect Loll, the poinsettias look lovely framed in the circle, Cathy x
Such a dreamy effect with your beautiful Christmas card Loll x. Thank you so much for sharing the cute photo of Jessie and Violeta and I am so glad Jessie is Ok after her operations....I hadn't dared ask how she was but I am sending hugs x.
Ooooh, so very ethereal looking...lovely card using this technique. Great pic of the dogs enjoying their creamy treat. No one misses out on ice cream in out house either.
How sweet that Jesse & Viola are sharing the ice cream cone! Love your poinsettias and the dreamy look of the ink blending with the stenciling! Love this technique!
Wonderful soft effect Loll, have to try this technique... a beautiful beautiful card. Lovely photo of Jesse and Vi, could do with an ice cream here it is so hot and humid. Hope all is well, hugs Robyn
What a beautiful poinsettia stenciled card, Loll!
I love that the light haze makes the flowers look like they're glowing. Great naming (Sponging Bleeding) of the technique!
So happy to see Jessie and Violeta enjoying the ice cream cone together!

Gorgeous Loll! I love the TH stencil, one to put on the list I think, and the techniqiue you used really does give a wonderful blurry effect and love the oval die cut shape, and then finished with a lovely contrasting embossed silver pearl on black sentiment. x
The card is gorgeous Loll, this was such a fun technique. I love how the blending softens the image.
Violetta and Jessie look as thought they're loving that ice cream :)
What a great technique used on this pretty Christmas card! That silver pearl embossing powder is some pretty cool stuff too! How sweet of your dogs to share - most don't share when it comes to food! LOL
Dreamy and so pretty, Loll ... the crisp black sentiment strip is so striking againt the soft halo'd stencilling! Hugs, Anita :)
Such a BEAUTIFUL card Loll and a technique that I still need to try! So many new stamps to play with lately and not enough time...could I be buying too much??? Nah...not possible!! Haha!! LOVE the picture of Jessie and Violetta sharing the ice cream cone...that is just too sweet!! Hugs. :0)
This is a lovely card. That technique is quite stunning! Thanks for joining in the challenge over at Christmas Craft Creations.
Hi Loll,
Happy Rudolf Days.
Oh this is such s lovely technique and the colours are so pretty.
Love the shape it looks like an Egg so it's Christmas and Easter rolled into one.
Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT
That technique is really effective, I think I will have to try it, but I think I might struggle as it messes up the lovely clean line of the stencil! I do love the soft effect though xx
Absolutely gorgeous! Your card and those fur babies!
Beautiful card. Love the picture of the dogs sharing an ice cream. [Bunny]
What a dreamy effect !! This technique is great. I must try it sometime. Your Easter card is beautiful, she makes a great impression.
Two sweeties :-) Great photo and a funny scene caught in the frame.
hugs,

Gorgeous stenciled poinsettia, Lolly. I love your new technique, which I have on my wishlist to try. Wonderful added sentiment for your CAS design too. TFS the really cute and yummy photo of Jessie and Vi too. Amazing that they were willing to share...maybe they knew they must eat the ice cream quickly before it melted into the grass and they would not get anything:-) TFS your links too. Love and Hugs, Nancy
very dreamy and classic! I love the sentiment popped on a black background too! thank you so much for playing along with us at the March Rudolph Days Challenge.
Linda, DT
Such a glorious card here Loll, I love the sweet doggie pic too ;) hugs Viv xx
This is a lovely technique and card. Something about it gives it a vintage feel too!
holly on a card is a good substitute!
Love this fun pic of the 'girls' sharing their ice cream cone...so cute :)
Gorgeous card, Loll! I love the dreamy effects of this technique and how beautifully it works with the Poinsettia's and holly leaves! Love that you chose the oval panel, too...Another really gorgeous card! xx
I cannot resist this pic of Jessie and Violetta! So cute and furry and it looks like a beautiful day. Thank you for sharing that sunshine! I'm becoming more and more intrigued by this stenciling and sponging technique. Your card is just so soft and lovely!
