Smeared the plastic bag with my ink pad-spritzed with alcohol then pressed the paper into it.

 

Took a wet brush to the ink this time

Let the inky water drip down

Here's what they look like dried

This time I wet my finger and swirled the ink around

Here's the prints at this point. I then stamped the paper with my dragonflies and lightly spritzed before adding them to the print.
When I put together the card, I added lots of chalk ink accents.

Here's a card using the 2nd piece. Lots of added watercolor and markers over the bg piece.
