Here are my cards for the challenges.
The first is Mix-Ablility "Torn"
I stamped this pretty bird from Rubbernecker using tea dye distress ink then watercoloured the image and re-stamped using a slightly darker distress ink. The background was stenciled using drywall tape and clarity brushes after masking the image. I tore the edge of the watercolour paper on 3 sides and then used Tea Dye and a blending foam on the edge.
The sentiment is from Carabelle and the "Fig" stamp is from Stampers Annonymous.
The second is Acetate inking, Karen Dunbrook of Snippets blog put together a great tutorial at Split Coast Stampers to show us how to lay down colour for backgrounds using acetate.
For this card I used Distress oxides and heat dried between each layer. The stamps are from Carabelle.

I love both your cards, Christine. Your no line colored bird is so beautiful. Love your torn edges and stenciled background with your lovely sentiment.
Your Acetate Inking background turned out beautifully for your stamped images. TFS both beauties, my friend. Hugs..
Two fabulous cards! I love how you finished off the bird with the dry wall tape stenciling and the "Fig" stamp. And the acrylic inking is a perfect background for the origami images.
Two fantastic cards Christine. LOVE your sweet bird with the torn edges. Great CAS mixed media design! The colours from your acetate inking are so pretty and perfect with the silhouette images. xx
Love the way you've torn the edges on the first beautiful card. Great technique on the second and love the ever so artsy and contemporary card x
I love both of these and particularly love the natural colors of your painted bird. Those origami stamps are SO fun! I love the way your acetate background turned out too- something I have yet to try.
Love that bird and the soft, vintage coloring! The torn edges and composition are superb!
Love your acetate inked background with the origami figures and wildflowers! Love that stamp too!
I love how you beautifully colored a bird on the first card. I love how beautiful colors penetrate. And the second card is a stunning background. I love how the colors have been imposed. I love how the spots have their direction. It looks really amazing.
Hugs,
