This is stamped on glossy cardstock.  First, I used a very light-colored Alcohol Ink (AI) wash over the entire surface of the cardstock.  I then used colorless embossing ink pad to stamp my image, Fiesta Flower from Hero Arts, and heat set the image.  I next used a slightly darker AI wash to bring out the image and make it pop from the background.  I then stamped the image again with a sepia-tone archival ink.  Layered the image on hand-marbled paper and brown cardstock.

To get the inks to spread evenly on the cardstock, I put a generous amount of droplets on a piece of felt, then spread that over the surface.
