Hi welcome back. We're going to do some sponging this week and make stripes. You'll need dye ink pads, sponges and white card stock. I've used post it notes to mask off a 2" strip on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" piece of white card stock.
I've picked 4 colors and starting with the lightest one I sponge a 1/2" stripe.
Move the bottom post it notes up 1/2" and sponge the second color.
Keep moving the bottom post it notes up 1/2" and sponge with the 3rd and 4th color. Remove the post it notes.
Now you could fill the whole piece with stripes. I've chosen to just have color in the center.

Next I'm going to show you what is known as the Pillow Top Technique. Take your card stock and line up two corners on the 6" of your measuring tool.
Take a piece of acetate longer than your card stock and starting with the two corners on the 6" start sponging off of the acetate just dusting the card stock. Keep moving the acetate 1/2 until you have filled the whole piece.
Now line up the opposite corners on the 6" and do the exact same thing.
And there's your finished piece. See you next week.
Pat
