I started with the background paper ... watercolor paper that was misted with lots of water.  I used the three colors of re-inkers, placing a few drops in each of my palette cups and adding a few drops of water to dilute slightly.  Then I picked up one color at a time with my Aqua Painter and touched the wet watercolor paper ... the ink color spreads with the water.  I cleaned my Aqua Painter and then repeated the process with the other two colors.  The more ink you add, the more saturated the color.  And if there's too much water and the ink starts to run, paper towel blots it up and then you add more ink as needed.  Fun to make!

Here's a close-up:
