Watercolouring With Reinkers and LOTS of Water!

Thought I would share this with you - I am SO addicted to making watercoloured roses now!  Yikes - I can't stop - this is SO much fun!

So, now I'm sharing the addiction with you!  What you need:

• water in spritzer
• reinkers
• aquapainter
• SHIMMERY CARDSTOCK! (no, watercolour paper won't work, and neither will glossy or whisper white)
• a stamped image with lots of different spaces to colour (this will make sense after you watch the video) - I used my fave - Fifth Ave Florals

Ok - enjoy!  Cick on the pic below or here for the tutorial!

Thanks to Crystal French from Denver, CO for the original technique!
