Floating Re-inkers

I decided to play with the Floating Re-inkers technique which has been getting a lot of attention lately, being used with the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set.

I chose the stamp set Illuminations since it's on the retirement list and I wanted to get more use out of it. The re-inker colors are Garden Green, Old Olive and Handsome Hunter. First I stamped the image with VersaMark on Shimmery White Cardstock, then embossed it with clear embossing powder. Next, I misted the paper with a water bottle. Finally, with an Aqua Painter I dropped the re-inker colors onto the wet paper. The water does the magic for you, but if you want to move the colors around, just use the wet brush.
