This is for the Impression Obsession challenge to ink up our favorite IO stamp! The Orchids are watercolored using reinkers. When the image was dry, I covered all the colored areas with a Sakura Glaze pen, then stamped over the piece with Cover-a-Card Reverse Damask, another favorite of mine. The glaze "ink" acts as a resist. I misted the inked stamp before stamping it, so the ink would bleed just a little. I trimmed along some of the flowers and embossed them from behind for a little extra dimension.
