All beautiful. I do like the ones done with blocks, too… the inks blended better and gives more movement.

Wonderful backgrounds with beautiful stamped images, Christine! I especially love the acrylic block backgrounds with the fluid effect! You used black so effectively and creatively to add definition to the cards.

This had been one of my favorite techniques some time ago and I forgot all about it. So thank you for the reminder. All three are done so well! You really are the master of techniques and your posts are tutorials in themselves.

WOW! Three unusual cards !!! These leafy twigs from Magenta look so amazing, and the color you've chosen for them emphasizes their beauty even more. The colorful background is just perfect for these twigs!
The second card is just as beautiful, I love the silhouette of the bird on this lovely background.
hugs,

Wow, Christine, these came out so well! I really love the one with the torn black paper - you may see that in an up coming journal page or card! Such great images and colors here. I am so glad I came to visit this morning. Fun stuff! Hugz
