I copied the directions from Patti Bennett and somewhat cased her design. She has a nice video on her blog as well.
Watercolor Re-Inker Wash Technique directions cased from Patti:stamp rose image (from Fifth Avenue Floral Set) or any other floral image on Shimmery White cardstock using White Craft Ink
heat emboss with Clear or white Embossing Powder and the heat tool
generously spritz entire embossed image with water in a spray bottle - spray until there are puddles of water, not just wet paper
use an Aquapainter to dip into drops of classic reinker and just "touch" the tip of the Aquapainter/ink to each section of the rose - ink flows inside each section (because of the embossing) but will also blend nicely when you touch more than one color to a section
use 2 or 3 coordinating reinker colors in any combo you wish (classic ink)
We used: Pretty in Pink, Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango and Apricot Appeal on this sample
clean Aquapainter tip in between applying each color
let dry, cut out image and mount to card or project. They take approx. 30 to 40 minutes to dry - will vary by climate/weather.
