Dawn Olchefske put together a great set of instructions with pictures. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel, so here is a link to her tutorial. She calls it Ink Blending with a Twist. It truly reminds me of the old polished stone techniques, except that we're not doing it on a cottonball. You're putting everything down on a silicone craft sheet, and then putting your Glossy card stock face down onto the inks.
I made the background piece first, and let it dry over night.
Here is a close-up shot. See a speckled pattern in the gold bits? That's from my paper towel! I had some pockets of ink that were out of control, so I tried to blot them up, and got this pattern. I love it though!
I stamped the cowboy boots on Very Vanilla, and colored them in with markers. I used the same colors that I used for the background - Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, and Real Red. I hand-cut the boots after I colored them in.
Stamp the words on a strip of Very Vanilla, and hand-cut the angles on the ends. I laid down the 5/8" Burlap ribbon on some Sticky Strip, then layered the greeting on top of that with a lot of glue dots. Popped the boots up with Stampin' Dimensionals, and added some Gold Metallic Enamel stars.
I love this technique, and will be making some more color combinations very soon. I need to order more Wink of Stella pens!
