Trina also overlooked my 'mistake' and helped me out - this particular swap asked for full cards and envelopes - but I forgot the envelopes. She provided the envelopes for me, stamped them to coordinate and I so much appreciate her! Here's a closer look at the Emerging Color Technique.
To create this card, I first stamped a few of the smaller images from the Extreme Elements stamp set in a variety of colors. I stamped the stars in Daffodil Delight, the flourish in Melon Mambo and the dotted image in Tempting Turquoise - all randomly on the piece of Whisper White cardstock. Then I wiped it with my Embossing Buddy and stamped the large splotchy image from Extreme Elements over these in VersaMark ink. I heat embossed this with Clear Embossing Powder. The Embossing Buddy keeps the Embossing Powder on the VersaMark image only, with no stray powder sticking to my colored stamped images. Finally I used my Brayer to roll on a layer of Pumpkin Pie ink, well saturated, over the entire cardstock piece. I wiped the heat embossed area with a tissue to remove the ink from the embossed area, revealed the stamped background.
