How gorgeous is this background?

I've always enjoyed water-colour techniques and with the current focus by many crafters on alcohol ink techniques, I thought I would try a similar style using Stampin' Up!® re-inkers and water.
In the new Annual Catalogue, you will see a lot of new and fabulous die sets. The Meadow Dies stood out to me straight away - I love flowers and nature and I could see lots of use for them.

I used some of the Fluid 100 Water Color paper. Just lay down plenty of water with a large brush then dip a smaller brush into a drop of re-inker placed in a palette. This goes a long way so be very frugal with the amount of ink in your palette.
You will notice the ink spread. Repeat this with other colours until you are happy with your background. You may need to spritz with a little water if you are working in a heated room. You may also want to add more depth in the colour. Just add more ink from the tip of your brush.
As the background dries off a little you can create more "lines" by dropping water onto the already inked areas.
