I decided to try another card with today's colors.
Blackberry Bliss was a color that did NOT appeal to me, but when its reinker was watered down with an aqua brush it created lovely shades of red-violet. I only used the two reinkers on this flower...so any other colors you might see are the mixing of these two. No spatters on this one....I wanted a clean look. Gray is my neutral of choice these days....it seems to make everything look good.

Fabulous card, Sallie. You're right; these two colors do create some amazing shades when blended together. Love the softness you have achieved with these strong colors.

Sallie, this turned out spectacular. The colors are so pretty using your color wash with reinkers. And you never have to use any "special" neutral BG paper to make anything look good. It is your skill that makes it all look fabulous :-)
