Are there any techniques that use craft re-inkers?

[mmferg]

I just bought the craft re-inkers and was wondering if there were any cool techniques out there that I need to try.

I have never tried this particular technique, but directions I found for water coloring with re-inkers are: Lay white glossy cardstock on several layers of paper toweling. Spray with water sprayer so there is a thin layer of water on glossy cardstock. Drop several drops from the yo-yo yellow reinker and a couple of drops from the chocolate chip reinker. Let the colors spread for several seconds. Take the brayer and gently push excess ink and water across glossy card stock and onto paper toweling. Go back and forth with brayer until the color is evenly spread and excess ink and water is on the paper towel. Set aside and let dry.

I stamped an image with black on sahara sand and colored it in with the craft reinker and watercolor brush. I wanted the flower to look like a daisy so I used white craft reinker for the petals and artichoke for the leaves. I am sorry, I can't show the card....it's secret until July.

What a tease you are Beate!!!!! Shame on you! The card sounds gorgeous. Can't wait to see it.

Does the craft ink come out bolder than the classic on there??

[Beate]

Craft ink will definitely stay bolder then classic ink when coloring with it. It's a whole different look. Try it!

I will! It sounds like fun. Thanks for the tip.
