This stamp has a mixture of solid and line image and is a challenge for me. I tried my hand with Joan Ervin's Tap and Smash technique http://stampingwithapassion.blogspot...sh%20Technique and used three colors of ink and lightly misted before stamping on watercolor paper. Heat drying the image helps a little to keep the lines of the open image from running. I used a blender pen to add the 3 colors to the open images and adding color to the solid images. All the ink was still damp from blending the inks so I dusted well with clear ep and heated. Too bad you cannot see in the photo the wonderful definition the embossing added.

Kittie, you excel at Joan's technique! It's hard to imagine that might have been a stretch for you because it turned out to be a gorgeous autumnal card. Yes, I have to agree the photo doesnt capture the embossing! From where I sit, though, it captured my attention immediately!
