This is just a fabulous technique. Not sure whose idea it was but I've seen it on several blogs.
I stamped the flower from the 5th Avenue floral set with versa mark on shimmery white cardstock, embossed with white embossing powder and heat set. With water in a spray bottle, I sprayed the back and front of the stamped cardstock. Using 2 colors of ink (from reinkers) and an aqua painter, drop ink unto the images any way you please. Let dry.
