This week over at Just Us Girls, Lisa had given us the technique of a water colored background. Her timing is perfect as Jennifer McGuire just put out a water colored background video that I wanted to try.
I have to say, I rather like this background. I went for an ombre effect. One thing about Jennifer, her techniques are never hard to do, you just need patience [for the drying time :)]. I used a sentiment from My Favorite Things, Simply Fabulous Sayings, and my background is a really old SU stamp. A very simple card that does pack a punch.
You need to play in this week's challenge -- it's really fun. I like water coloring since you never know what you will end up with... Hope to see you join in over at Just Us Girls.
I have a dual day today. It is also Addicted to CAS Challenge. This week is Far Away.
We are being sponsored by StampArt Designs
I wanted to give the effect of a loooooooooong road. Did I accomplish that? Well, I hope so since this is the card I am using ;).
Meanwhile, pop on over to Addicted to CAS, check out the other DT cards and then, play along! We would love to have you join in!
Thanks for stopping by~

Don't you just love Jennifer's tutorials. You definitely rocked this one. Love the ombre effect. Your Far Away card is fantastic, too.
Two super cool cards...beautiful!
Both your cards are so cheery and I love how you used graduations of the same color in each. Also I noted how you incorporate the color theme in the background to showcase your cards perfectly. I must remember that idea when photographing things as it looks wonderful!
As always, I am in awe at the cards you make! Gorgeous-ness
Amazing cards and techniques! I love the Looooong road!
Adore your card - the orange is fabulous and love the BG stamp you used.
Such a beautiful ombre effect on your first card, and I love how you created the road on your 2nd one...very clever, Vicki!
