The technique I use the most is poppin' pastels. I only have 2 colors of ink and a versamark- so even though my chalks are non-SU I have a lot of colors.
I've been totally into watercoloring lately. I use the crayons and inks. I also sponge almost every card I make, and most of them have a tag somewhere too!

I love to do the wax paper resist. I usally will do several so I have some on hand. I try to try all the techniques that I have materials for. Recently I have started doing the cracked glass.
I went through a sponging phase a few years ago; I even bought a floss box--the compartmentalized ones? And, put each of my quarters of sponges into it's own compartment, complete with a label on the lid so I'd know which color I was using it for, and subsequently, wouldn't have to wash the sponges ever. giggle! I'm soooooooo lazy!!!!
But, I haven't sponged that much in over a year now.
Lately, I "edge" by tapping the paper against the ink pad directly--often Craft Ink and then emboss--very fine edging effect that I noticed on some of the samples in a book featuring Anna Griffin designs. I am finding I really like this effect!
