Here's my card for Patricia's HYCCT Challenge Get Inked, to use ink or paint spots/splatters on your creation. I inked up the wildflowers, spraying the stamp with water before stamping on watercolor paper - also spritzed them after stamping so the ink would spread more. After that dried, I spritzed the whole thing with an ink loaded paintbrush. The sentiment is partially stamped with the "you" being die-cut three times and stacked up for a bit of dimension. Thanks for the fun challenge, Patricia, I'm always up for a bit of splattering!

Wow, Bridget! Your card is - dare I say it - pulchritudinous! I love how you've softened the vivid colors by using them in a watercolor technique. Wonderful job on this! Thank you for making such a lovely card as a sample for my HYCCT challenge!

What a beauty, Bridget. So love how your watercoloring came out. Such vibrant colors. A simple card with a lot of pop.

Oh, I somehow missed this fabulous card... (found on Pinterest tonight) I LOVE everything about this from the vibrant color choice, beautiful image and water coloring to the outstanding way you did your sentiment. (I may case that!) This is a PURE delight to view and I wish that I could create something this amazing with watercolors, but meanwhile I will just "sigh" over yours!
