The image is stamped as you would usually stamp and I just *colored* the whole girl with crosshatch lines.
As far as how I do the shaving cream--I dropped the reinkers with a sunset in mind. I dropped the purple wanting it to look like the ground, so I was careful not to stir the purple into the top part. I think most people try to stir/swirl it too much. I use a light touch, just enough to move the ink away from its original drop shape. It's not going to look like what you see before you dip it anyway. It's always a surprise to me what shows up on the paper. The rest is just luck. Some pieces are gorgeous and some are a mess.
I taught this at stamp club a while back and some of my favorite pieces that I haven't used yet were made with the scraps. We squeezed the excess from our cards into another container and it just had blobs of different colors. I dipped a couple of pieces in the scrap container and they turned out great.

This is one of the prettiest cards I've seen using this technique.
