Hi friends! Today I am going to show you how to make a sweet card with a reinker watercolor background, you can stamp and paint with the same inks so you know everything will match! Plus it is simple. We will also use wire to make an interactive element!
All the instructions are in this real time tutorial. I hope you enjoy it and find the techniques useful in your next card!

Supplies:
- Brights reinker bundle
*You can use reinkers to reink stamp-pads, watercolor make spray mists (add water) and refill markers and pens! - Hexagon embossing folder
- Foxy Bundle
- Craft wire
- Paint brush
- Watercolor paper or Bristol
- White cardstock
- Melon Mambo Cardstock
- Inkpads: Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Early Espresso OR get blank ink cubes and make mini inkpads with your reinkers
I really think reinkers are a good investment, not only can you use them to refill a stamp pad 4-6 times (a bottle of reinker costs less than a new stamp pad!) but you can watercolor with them, make spray mists, refill watercolor brush pens as well as dye ribbons and other porous items. Look for supplies that do double duty in your craft room and you will save money, time and space and have a lot more fun creating! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
What an adorable card! LOVE the bright colors and the fox rocks!! TFS!

Love the watercolor background using stamps. You make everything look so easy. I also love the “bobble head” effect. I think I’ll try doing that with some hearts for Valentines. It’s like my heart beats for you! As always, so many good tips!
