Reinker Spread Watercolor

Morning Soft is my stamp set of choice for this watercolor technique called Reinker Spread, or Watercolor Floating. You've probably seen the beautiful roses that everyone has been doing with Fifth Avenue Floral, and I've done those too, but then I have to design a card to put them on! Morning Soft is a card in itself. This sample is done using black stazon, clear emboss, perfect plum, pale plum, barely banana, old olive and always artichoke reinkers with the aqua painter. The image is stamped on shimmery white with black stazon, clear embossed and then painted. The key to success is plenty of water, and patience. It isn't always pretty until it's air dried. Try it, you'll get lots of ooohs and aaaahhs!
