“Using Re-inkers as Watercolors”

by

Judy Cantrell

In a disposable palette tray add one tiny droplet of Distress Re-inker
in the following colors:

Dusty Concord
Spiced Marmalade
Peeled Paint
Broken China

These four droplets were used to make this watercolor page

with a ½ inch angle shader brush and a little bit of water.

There is lots of color left to make several more projects
from this tiny amount of re-inker.

I made my journal album a few weeks ago if you would like to make your own; purchase a 140 lb cold press Watercolor pad 9 x 12" and then cut the pages in half. Use a

craft knife to cut the book board that is included on the back of the pad for covers.
The covers were painted with two coats of gesso before making it into a journal album

with my Zutter tool. I use the 3/4" binder coil for this album. For my album I used the back side of the paper; it has a smoother finish.

Finished size 40 pages 6 x 9" 

[[ Please note: Some of you might think I took the watercolor technique from Tim Holtz if you are taking the online classes. Actually I made this project two weeks before his classes started. Just a odd thing that he would share something similar to what I'm sharing here. ]]
