I placed the stamp in my Misti and used my distress markers to ink up the leaves (using two shades of green). Spritzed with water and stamped onto Hot Press watercolour paper. Then I inked the stamp again, this time with two shades of purple on the flowers only, spritzed and stamped. I removed the card front from the Misti and used a small brush and clean water to add to the inked images. I love the softness of using this technique.
To finish, I splattered with more of the two shades of green, and then stamped the sentiment (pressing and re-inking three times to get good coverage). What did I ever do before the Misti??!!
