I have been seeing a lot of ideas using string painting. It's a fun, but messy, technique that creates really cool images for crafting! I used reinkers for my colors and added a bit with a brush for the flower centers.
The simple version of what I did is that you wet a length of string with reinker (or paint), put it between a folded piece of cardstock and then pull the string out. There are tons of videos on you tube so check them out.
