Today's TLC is to use reinkers with a paintbrush and water. I've never tried this way of watercolouring before so was pleased to have an excuse to give it a try!
I used my retired 'Toile Blossoms' image and stamped it in Pallette's Burnt Umber. Once coloured, I distressed the image with Old Paper Distress Ink and a sponge.

oh so lovely, emma! you must feel very comfortable with this technique - your design really flows well from the BG / ribbon / colored image, EVERYTHING!

Looks like we were on the same wavelength today! I love your gorgeous Toile Blossoms! The French Script background is perfect and I love the colors you used!
