Spotted Photo Challenge

I’m working on other things today, but I wanted to get these things uploaded while I remember ;)
The first one is an ATC which uses the watercolour technique on the Art Cards Challenge Blog, touching the edges of a stamped image (using water based inks) with a paintbrush. It also fits the Fun with ATCs floral Challenge for today. It was a good excuse to try out the Freebie stamp with this month's Craft Stamper - I really like it but then I like a lot of Innovative Stamp Creations stamps! I've used Wild Honey and Walnut Stain Distress inks on it - both to stamp and to colour. The 'splodgy' bit is one of my favourite filler stamps which I've had for years and years and years - about 8 - but you can't see how lovely it is on this. It's like a star burst - really pretty.
This one was just a play with pigment inks on a Hero Arts stamp. Basically, Colorbox Cats Eyes were splodged (technical term, of course) all over it, stamped, then overstamped with a Stampin’ Up word stamp before embossing the whole thing with clear Embossing Powder.
It would appear that the Blogger problems are now resolved – yay! I’ve just approved some of your comments. Thank you so much to all who comment here – I really do appreciate the fact that you took time out to do that and it’s a real encouragement.

Both Card & ATC are as top notch as always. I haven't seen brown and cream combo in a while and forgotten that in the right hands it actually looks extremely good. As for the resist white flowers over the violet background. Gorgeous!!! Pxx
Love the second piece with the pastels and flower stems !
Cath, I don't have good enough adjectives and adverbs to express how much I love your work today. Both works with the flowers are such bursts of colors that they make my heart sing! So gorgeous. I love that daisy stamp and I love the splotch stamp in the top one. Great artistic endeavors.
Both gorgeous, Cath!
Love both of these can't choose between them. Off now to take the stamp of my craft stamper before I forget
Both of these are stunning! You give so much inspiration. By the way, I love how you use none technical terms on your techniques so we can all understand (splodging is good haha)
