I am now caught up with my CCC13 Christmas cards as I made 8 of these for October. Just have to finish the 8 for November and I'll be ready to start addressing.
I don't know the proper name for the technique, but I really love it! I sprayed the stamp lightly with water, scribbled a blue Gelato on the slightly wet stamp, then scribbled a green Gelato blending them a little. Then stamped on regular white card stock. I had varying success - actually had to make 11 to get 8 good ones. Every one is different; the darker ones look better. Then the magic happened after they dried and I added Stickles, a generous amount, altho it doesn't show well in the photos. IRL the Stickles make it look like shiny foil.
My card base is green, then an embossed white panel, and green behind the image panel.

Popped this one into my favorites for sure. Love the results you got. Think I could get it to work with water color crayons or even markers. Thanks for the good idea!
