The challenge is BE Inspired #53 over at The Alley Way. You need to use at least 1 TAW image and fortunately for me, they have a few digis you can use.
Yep, these are the digis I used. I love that the star looks like a die cut! I used Laura Basson's water color technique, ink up an acrylic pad, spritz with water, and stamp onto water color paper. I LOVE THIS EFFECT!! I used the rough side of my water color paper to get the textured look. I am also entering this into the Just Add Ink Challenge; water coloring.
I then went on to create another card. Again, this popped into my mind. [Really, I can't tell you how I love it when an idea actually comes to my mind!]
I love this card too! So clean and bright. [I do have to say it does remind me of Ardyth's stunning creations.]
I had such a fun time with this challenge! Ink to paper that works! :)
I am also, once again, playing around with my photography. I really like the blurred background that [my idol] Debby Hughes creates. I haven't gotten there yet...
Thanks for stopping by~

Well doen times two :) and the different styles you used for them.
Brilliant eye catching cards! Need to check this challenge out myself.
OOOH. EMMMMM. GEEEE! I love that star (not keen on digis, but this may make me overcome that!) Love both of these colourful cards, but you knew I would, didn't you!
Very cool cards! So bright and happy looking too!
Love both cards, always love bright and colourful. That first card it really does look like a die cut, very clever.
WOW really love that water coloured background you've created - so bright and cheery!

Two clever, eye-catching cards, Vicki! I need to try the water colour technique you used with the acrylic blocks. Hmmm...wonder if my distress markers will do in place of the ink pads...guess I'll find out! Fabulous inspiration - thank you!

Fabulous cards! You rocked that digi :)
Loved the colors you used.
That is one lovely star, hey!!! Both your cards are so beautiful, Vicki!! Your watercoloured bg looks great on the first one and I love the brightly coloured star on the second!! Lovely sentiment to go with the star! Amazing how different the cards look although they have exactly the same stamping on them! Beautiful!!
Love your bright rainbow inking Vicki! How cool are Lauras techniques...So much fun and very effective!
Thanks for joining us over at Just Add Ink.
These are so amazing :) love the rainbow BG on it first card !
Gorgeous, delightful! How was the digi applied? Under or over the watercolor. Did you send the watercolor through the printer? Please enlighten me. Hugs
I agree - this is a great water colour effect. I love the rainbow colours too. Chantell JAI
