The sprays are a very concentrated liquid water colour which can be watered down and mixed to increase your colour selection so a are a very economical way to create coloured sprays. I have 2 cards I want to show you, the first is using the a Glossy card for the die cut and the second on Yupo.
For this card I used Distress inks and blended distress inks over the stencil, sorry I'm not sure who makes this stencil I lost the package. I die cut the butterfly background from the coated card sprayed with liquid inks and cut the second layer out of white card stock. I flicked a few water specks over the distress inks.
This card is very similar using liquid inks on Yupo, just be aware watercolour takes a long time to dry on Yupo paper, you need lots of patients 😊
I sponged the circles using distress inks and die cut the flower in white card stock, coloured the stems and die cut the flower head from the Yupo and attached it to the card.I am entering these for

They are both beautiful - such lovely colours and great use of the stencils and die cuts. You should add them to Less is More as well as its new challenge is "ombre".
LOVE the soft, delicate colours you've achieved with the liquid watercolour concentrate ... mine always turn out so bright. :) The geometric stencil is so cool --- love it!! And so pretty with the butterfly. The water splatters add some visual texture. And the second card is awesome. Haven't used my bubble stencil yet that you picked up for me ... love it on your card. And the poppies are so pretty. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
Both your cards are so soft and pretty, Christine. TFS your description and joining us at CAS Mix Up. Hugs.....
Two gorgeous card and techniques Christine, I love the colours you used.

Both of these are GORGEOUS, Christine! I love how the butterfly picks up the colors of the background, but the glossy paper makes it more vibrant! And the flowers are so pretty against the simple stenciled backgrounds! Thanks so much for sharing these with us at CAS Mix Up!
Excellent coloring on Yupo, Christine! Both of these cards are stunning designs and I think you did an awesome job combining these techniques!! Hugs, Darnell

Two absolutely gorgeous cards...love those soft sweet colors, so beautiful. Thank you so much for playing along with us at Happy Little Stampers.
Oh how I love your soft pastel colors for these creations. I especially like the combination of that bloom with the floating bubbles in the background.
Both cards look great! Funnily enough, I've made a few cards by sponging ink through stencils and then stamping over the top just recently. Gives similar results to your ink sprays - might give that a go with my Dylusions sprays too!

Oooooh! Your beautiful ombré is so soft and delicate Christine. Those colours really suit the die cuts that you used. Fab work.
