WATERCOLOR REINKER WASH TECHNIQUE CARD

This is the technique card we are doing tonight in class. It is called the Watercolor Reinker Wash technique and a true "WOW!"
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.

CELEBRATE SPECIAL OCCASIONS CLASS - SNEAK PEEK

Thursday is the celebrate special occasions class. I am doing a special technique card for your flip file that night. We will be doing the Watercolor reinker Wash Technique that was the "WOW" at the Seattle SU! Regionals. I'm showing this sneak peek today to get you excited about the class. The roses are coming out super. I took the photo in the wee hours of the am so the roses may not be as vivid in this photo as they are in person.

I am so loving this technique and I think everyone is going to be really "wowed" by it like I am. I will show the finished technique card and give the directions on Thursday so don't peek if you want to see it first in class.
