Flowers made with the "Re-inker spread" Technique.

[Madeline Morcelo]

I recently went to a technique class. Here we learned how to put in practice the reinker spread technique. I love it so much that back at home I started practicing. I just wanted to show you some of the flowers I have made already.

INSTRUCTIONS:

*stamp rose image (from Fifth Avenue Floral Set) on Shimmery White cardstock, watercolor paper or glossy cardstock using White Craft Ink.

*heat emboss with Clear Embossing Powder and the heat tool

*generously spritz entire embossed image with water in a spray bottle - spray until there are puddles of water, not just wet paper

*use an Aquapainter to dip into drops of classic reinker and just "touch" the tip of the Aquapainter/ink to each section of the rose - ink flows inside each section (because of the embossing) but will also blend nicely when you touch more than one color to a section

*use 2 or 3 coordinating reinker colors in any combo you wish (classic ink)

*clean Aquapainter tip in between applying each color

*let dry, cut out image and mount to card or project. They took approx. 20 to 30 minutes to dry - will vary by climate/weather.

Hope you like it. See you next time!!

Thanks for sharing Madeline. My stamping mentor mentioned this technique to me but I had not seen a tutorial. I will have to give this a try!
