Our challenge today was to use reinkers. So I picked out masculine colors and with the reinkers I dropped colors onto the watercolor paper. While that was drying I thought I'd play around with reinkers on glossy cardstock. I dipped the aqua painter into the ink and squeezed water out and the ink spread out mixing with the other colors on the paper. The blue and green reminded me of a map so I heat embossed the map on top and added a sentiment.
The bokeh card had different sized stencils where I applied white ink in varying darnesses. It seemed perfect for my new Happy Birthday stamp.

These are both fabulous! I was thinking of the ink, spray, smash as a possibility for the challenge this week; your idea of just dropping water and re-inkers onto one piece of glossy card sounds much easier and less messy - and looks wonderful. The bokeh background is so soft and dreamy.
