Sprinkle some Bister (blue) on paper (I used watercolour):
Then spray with a water mister:
Keep spraying and soon the colours will all start to run:
I also noticed that when you spray from farther away (so the paper gets a light mist) the result is different than when you spray close up (so the paper gets a full squirt). The top part received the mist and the bottom part got the full blast of water. Look how it reacts!:
Here is a video you can watch to see it in action. The video is in Dutch and Dutch is one of the hundreds of languages I don't speak, so after the first word (Hello) I didn't understand anything. But he does have the pertinent information written in English on the video and it shows the Bister in action :

I just loved this! All the different colours swirling together! I'm also going to experiment with adding a few different colours together and seeing what happens. Stay tuned.
So now to make cards out of this...
On this piece I just stamped on the paper:
This piece I added as an accent to give the card a bit of interest:
Love your playing around with the bistre,Heidi!
