Brenda is the hostest with the mostest for June. She has challenged the CCEE Stampers to a technique challenge.......DIRECT to PAPER. There is a great tutorial for this at SCS. You can use this link to get there. I used my Big Juicy ink pad. I just put white cardstock down on the ink pad and pressed. The results are a backgrounder with varying intensity of color. I kept my design CAS. I used fern stamp from a retired SU set and a sentiment from My Favorite Things. I added a touch of piercing and....voila....the card was done.
I have a tendency to avoid techniques, but there are some background techniques I really do like. This is one of them. The surprise of the results is always fun!
I have a feeling the team will use a variety of direct-to-paper techniques, so be sure to check out the CCEE Stamper's Blog to be inspired and impressed.

Fabulous card Joanne
I like the richness of your background, Joanne. Super card!
The embossed white on the "juicy" bg is fab, gf! Of course you pierced! What else is new???!
Joanne, this is fabulous. Love that rich bg and pretty, white fern. I'm glad you like the technique. I do, too, and it is so easy for making a quick card.
Regal and beautiful, Joanne!! Love that background!
Jo,
You used such beautiful colors to create your BG and your card is lovely and elegant.
Big Juicy? That sounds like an ideal pad to use for DTP and it's certainly given fabulous results. This has such a feeling of calm with the blues and greens and soft image - it makes a great sympathy card.
This is absolutely stunning! Those vibrant colors look stunning with the white fern!
This is so pretty, I like the colors you chose for the background to put the gorgeous white leaf on. I really like this tecnique.
