Looking for technique name and samples

[Menesia]

I saw some cards in a gallery (can't find it now!) that used a versamarked background stamp on glossy cs, then petal point chalk inks dtp and then brayered over the chalks to mix them together, then you wipe off the excess ink and the background stamp comes through--what's this called so I can find samples?? Please help!
TIA

Is this the technique/card you're looking for?

Brayered Chalk Resist

Here is Britta's response on making that card that was in this thread

The BG piece is glossy white, and I versamarked the canvas bg stamp onto the glossy white. I took my chalk ink petal and smooshed it gently around the pad, then switched colors (I *think* I used the blues, lavender, purple, pink, and red). Then I brayered over the whole thing and the brayer rolled and blended the colors somewhat (not completely since it is chalk and it dries quickly). Like regular vm resist the image of the canvas pops through when I buffed it.

For the main image I just used the chalk inks on regular white paper. I love that the lighter colors still show with the chalk ink on top. I just stamped repeatedly to change the tones. I also added VM and and embossed teh tiny petals on teh man image and along the bg, but that is really hard to see in the scan.

I think you could ABSOLUTELY show this at a workshop-all you need is the brayer, Glossy, inks, and VM or try it yourself. I have another card somewherein my gallery using Terrific Tulips and the same bg, it is just more subtle that this card.
Thanks for the compliments!
