My new favourite! Baby wipe technique. You apply re-inkers to baby wipes ( make sure they don't have added emolients, cheep alcohol ones are best) and ink up your stamps like a stamp pad. You can also apply the re-inkers to cottonwool and alcohol rubbing solution, and tap them onto the rubber mixing your colours. I achieved this look with Orchid Opulence, Lovely Lilac and Not Quite Navy. The baroque motifs and color-spritzer tool were used in the background.

The Fun and Fast Notes gave me a chance to practice my watercolouring. Using the aquapainter, watercolour paper, ink pads and markers, I was able to get this great look! With the photo corner punch adding some designer series paper was never easier.
This is the wet paper watercolouring technique. I sprayed the paper first then stamped Blossoms Abound stamps to get the lovely subtle effect. Linen background and All I Have Seen sets, and Dazzling Diamonds.
