Dini's MIX Challenge was to use water. I did a very simple and OLD technique. I inked up my image with various colors, misted with water and stamped. Easy-peasy. It is a one-shot deal or start over. Added a little sponging to define the panel.

Such a sweet image, Sallie (new?). There are so many wonderful techniques out there, yet this "oldie" but "goodie" technique is wonderful. It leaves such a lovely water-color finish. A beautiful CAS masterpiece

I did the same things.....either works great or not! I love this Asian stamp of orchids. Well done.

So pretty! I just got an orchid last weekend..they're so beautiful. Yours reminds me of going to our local conservatory and seeing them in their humid environs...there's a bit of a mist around all the flowers like the one on your card.. ;)
