Watercolor Roses…

Reinkers meet Stampin' Up!'s  Fifth Ave Floral stamp set  (#113734 ~ $24.95) to create amazing watercolored Roses!

It is such a fun set to work with and matches the Manhattan Flowers Impressions Die (#114517 ~ $7.95) for the Big Shot. 

*Using the Rose image I stamped it on watercolor paper with White craft ink.  Before it dried I used white embossing powder and heat embossed the image.
*Put a few drops of reinker  (your favorite color) onto a piece of plastic (you can use a scrap of wax paper).  You want it to be something that won't absorb the ink. 
*Spritz your embossed image a few times.
*Dip your Aqua painter in your reinker and touch it to the wet image.  You will see – the ink just spreads.  It will automatically shade your flower – leaving some petals dark and some light.

Note:  Don't worry if the ink spreads out of the lines.  I cut out the flowers for this card.

Ink:  Reinkers- Bashful Blue, Regal Rose, Coral Cameo
Stazon Black, Certainly Celery classic ink

Note:  The leaves were stamped using the leaf image from Stampin' Up!'s Flower Fancy (#111578 – $36.95)

Here is a picture of the Roses up close ~

As you can see each Rose is shaded differently.

I hope you enjoyed this technique.  It really is easy to do and gives you fabulous roses!
