When finished here, hop on over to Carol's Scrappin in Paradise. She made a really pretty layout with reinkers.
Card design inspired by one I received from a fellow consultant at convention.
It was signed by L. Youngblood on the back.

What I Did
- Take a sheet protector and cut all sides but one open.
- Select Reinker of choice. I used 5 colors. When you put completementary colors beside one another, they will make each other pop. (When you mix them together, however, you get muddy browns. I talk about this later.)
- I have only tried this with glossy cardstock so cut a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock down into (4) 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" pieces. The ink moves on the plastic and will still move on the glossy cardstock, but doesn't move on regular cardstock.
- You may want to have some damp paper towels around.
- Once all materials are gathered, open your sheet protector and drop drips of reinker around in an apx. 5 x 6" oval area.
- Close the sheet protector and move the ink around. I twisted the top part of the sheet protector a bit.
- Open the protector back up and place your glossy cardstock face down on the ink, smooshing it around a bit more.
- Pick the cardstock up. If there is any white, lay it back down on the ink or swipe it across the ink.
- Set each piece of completely colored cardstock aside to dry.
- I added more ink as needed to my sheet protector to finish inking my remaining cardstock. As the colors started getting muddy looking, I knew I would be using those for fall cards, but also manipulated the colors by adding a little Sunny Yellow and Cotton Candy to brighten them up. You will see when your cardstock starts looking like one solid color--you're finished.
