I love working with brusho and bister as you have probably noticed.
The technique I used allows you to limit the colour to the area inside the embossed image. Stamp the image using versamark and white embossing powders, pool water inside the image and sprinkle the powdered crystals in the water. move the water around a little to cover the whole area. I let it dry then stamped the Rubbernecker script stamp over the whole area and heat set it. The image was still missing something so I used texture paste and a stencil in the upper right corner. I have a whole pile of textured cream pearlised card stock that I want to use up for Christmas cards so I used ranger distress ink to give the background a warmer colour.
I'm also entering this for the Happy Little Stampers Christmas challenge for October Poinsettia. http://happylittlestampers.blogspot....as%20Challenge

Gorgeous card, Christine. The script bg is lovely with the deep wine flower, and the addition of the texture paste was genius. Those creamy neutrals are stunning...makes me think of a very rich, creamy, fattening desert.

I can't believe you can do this w/brushos/bisters. I don't like them because I can't seem to control where the color goes. You've changed my whole life now. Holy Smokes, this is just gorgeous, Christine.

What fabulous techniques on this lovely card! I love the muted colours and the multi media layering you did.
