This weeks Ways to Use It challenge is about using reinkers. Last week as I was unpacking some of the boxes that are still sitting in my basement...found a box with some old reinkers from the stampin wheels. They were made to reink the cartridges. They are wonderful for coloring...very vibrant. Some reinkers fade as they dry. These stay very vibrant. Printed the image on to water color paper along with the sentiment. Using my heat gun...dry the printer ink. Next is the fun part coloring....using a drop of the ink along with a water color brush and water, painted the image. Come and play along with the challenge.

If you ever give painting lessons, Linda, I will fly there to be first in line! The shading and coloring, gorgeous! The sky is so well done and looks so natural! I'm also amazed on how you get such crisp images on watercolor paper! This is beautiful!

Your watercoloring is over the top gorgeous, Linda! The sky, the shading .. everything is beautiful! I was wondering how you got your image so crisp on the watercolor paper, but your description explains it perfectly. Love this card!
