Never have tried this before, I have reinkers how would I apply them to the wet paper? I can see this is going to get messy, better break out the rubber gloves! :mrgreen:
Will have to let another challenge go by....no mulberry paper, no coffee filters and two boys at home (not a good time to hit the LSS!!! LOL!) Will have to try this one another time!!
Right, and we don't drink coffee... so... no substitutes. Of course, I could just pick up some filters at the grocery store. Is that silly? Buying coffee filters to stamp?

After doing the embossing, I just set the paper on scrap paper, spritz till wet, then dab a drop here and there, then smoosh it with a damp sponge brush (or a paint brush or aqua painter would work). It really doesn't bleed all over until you get it pretty wet. But it will bleed through several sheets of scrap paper, so you may want a stack or newspaper underneath. I also blot it a bit with paper towel before going to iron.
Hi ladies.... well, no mulberry paper here, but if I have time to pick some up, I will do it later. Otherwise, can't wait to see what y'all come up with!!!

Coffee filters would probably be cheaper than mulberry paper, plus you could take it out of the grocery budget, instead of the stamping budget, right???? LOL! Food coloring too, (if you don't have reinkers)!

I have coffee filters, but I have 9 coming over on Thursday to do emboss resist....not sure I have enough clear ep? Oh the temptation to take a chance! Great technique Melody! Thanks!

Great challenge Melody!! Not sure I have all of the supplies but I'll hunt around tonight after the kids are in bed. If not, I'll have a great time looking at everyone else's work!
LOL, I am ashamed of you people!!! Everyone is worried about no paper and no coffee filters and no crayons and no re-inkers...FOR SHAME!! A dedicated stamper would be saying "An iron? What's an iron?" (I can't seem to locate my iron (she whispered quietly with her head hanging) :oops:

Bwah! You just take your clothes in the shower, right? Custom steaming.
Now that I think of it, I have an iron in the Goodwill pile that would be perfect for this.... I don't use it for clothes (it sometimes pulls the fabric), and I don't want to get wax on the clothes iron. Now I have a stamping iron! Woohoo!

Well, that felt like it took me forever! The Mulberry Batik was quick and easy... for some reason, however, my *mo* and my *jo* seem to have seperated today.

I think if you dampen a sponge or sponge brush then pick up ink from your ink pad it will work nicely! Your colors just may be a bit more subtle than if you use reinkers.
Thanks for your suggestion - will try after work today!

I tried dryer sheets and you really can't get enough embossing powder to stick to it. I also tried tissue paper. You can do batik on tissue paper, but you can't iron it. (It's too flimsy to peel off the scrap paper.) So you can't get rid of the glossy embossing. Although maybe it would be less glossy if you turn it over to the back.
Someone suggested a swiffer sheet. That might work.
If you don't have refills or watercolor crayons, you can sponge the color on, or use markers and then spread it with water.
Thanks Melody - I'll try this after work.

I'm on a break at work. After seeing all the cards done with this technique, I can't wait to get home and try it. I've been putting designs together in my head. We'll see how they materialize when I have actual supplies in my hands.
ive done the coffee filter idea but i did it with food coloring because i didnt have any reinkers.
Thanks for your tip - I 'll try that after work today - I also was told I can use a sponge in an ink pad but it sounds like food coloring might be easier.
