Monochromatic Sympathy

I was fascinated with a recent technique posted over on SCS called Masking Fluid Resist and wanted to give it a go.  So I incorporated that into this week's Dynamic Duos color challenge and Freshly Made Sketch.  I'm not 100% sure the sponging on this card qualifies as the "clean" that is part of the FMS challenge, so I made another card using the same sketch which I'll show you in a separate post.

I had some masking fluid because I'd seen Heather Telford use it on her blog before and wanted to try it for myself.  If you haven't seen Heather's work, check it out.  She is the master of sponging!  Anyway, onto the card.  I followed the instructions for the technique, except I only used two colors - River Rock and Always Artichoke.  This is a fun technique - the hardest part is waiting for the masking fluid to dry, but heat tools were invented for a reason LOL.

Here are the challenges:

I didn't put any embellishments in the top right corner because I wanted to keep the card more muted and somber.

Thanks for looking.
