The technique involves daubbing dye ink onto glossy cardstock which has strategically placed white crayon marks drawn into the stamped images. Here's what my page looked like right after I did the coloring:

... and here's what it looked like after I took a piece of paper towel and buffed the cardstock to remove the excess ink and make the crayon "pop":

Then I chopped up my page and made it into seven cards. This first one uses the biggest chunk of the glossy, and I dressed up the centers of some of the flowers with Stickles.

My oddball card for the day -- the only one that's pink instead of green:

Cardstock colors are Green Galore, Pixie Pink, and Basic Black.

The colors I sponged onto the glossy are YoYo Yellow, Tempting Turquoise, Almost Amethyst, Pixie Pink, and Green Galore.


I ran across a new way to use the corner rounder punch as a border, and thought I'd experiment with it on this next card:

And, of course, a card with the Rumi quote on it:
