I tried something kind of similar to this when I was making cards this weekend. I wanted to make a card using the set Land That I Love--specifically the flag--but I didn't want to color in the stamp with markers. So I stamped it in Basic Brown on white cardstock and then watercolored it with Ruby Red and Night of Navy. It came out pretty neat--the colors were like a wash over the brown, so it kind of looked like a sepia-tone photo that's been tinted with color. I'd post a pic but my DH took the camera with him when he deployed...maybe if I'm extra sweet to my neighbor she'll scan the card for me...
I tried it with Chocolate Chip ink and then colored over it with colored pencils. That time the color came out a little more strongly--not quite the same effect, but close. I liked it with the lighter brown ink a little better, it was more subtle.

This was my first time working with SU craft ink. I was surprised how long it takes to dry. I tried the heat gun, only the burn my ribbon. Fun technique though. Thank you Beth, I will use it again. So here it is.
Here's another one from me. The purple is much brighter IRL, it's kind of flourescent. I was afraid this was going to have too much going on, but I think it works.
OK, last one for today, I think. My kids just got home from school, and I should spend some time with them, other than asking them what they think of my latest cards!

Will be doing this after the ink dries!, i love everyone's work! Thanks Beth for an interesting challenge! I never did this or even heard of it. I have reg. colored pencils and the watercolor pencils...which is best??
This is my third and final card for this technique - reinking the pad made a definite difference, but still not one of my top ten! Thanks again, Beth, for push us to new heights! Spring Tulips

I really should be starting dinner, but I popped online and thought this technique sounded really cool, so I had to give it a try before DH came home! Here's my attempt... Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

Thanks Beth for the challenge--half of which was finding a stamp! I debated whether to even upload this. Tried the only other stamp I had that might work, and threw that in the trash. Decided to just keep it super simple and go with the flow (lol). I like the look of this technique, I just need to add a few more stamps to take good advantage of it.

Finally got one done. I decided to use this for my class tomorrow, so I had to cut all the card stock. I started another, so will hopefully have that finished tonight. From what I saw in the gallery, it looks like this was a popular image for this technique. Here's my card.
