An oldie but goodie!

I forgot the name of this technique but basically you use classic ink pads to swipe coordinating colors, on a piece of vellum. Before the ink dries stamp with any image (I used a couple from Baroque Motifs) repeatedly across the vellum. You don't ink the stamp but just clean on a piece of paper in between stampings. You are actually removing ink to make the images appear. After the ink dries on the vellum (you can use your heat gun but make sure not to overheat the vellum) stamp an image with Stazon Black, I used one from Friends 24/7. The vellum is attached to a piece Of Whisper White using glue dots in each corner.
The flower is from the pretties kit, still available on the clearance rack, that was colored by with Perfect Plum Classic Ink.

Paper & Ink: Not Quite Navy, Perfect Plum, Marina Mist, Stazon Jet Black
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Friends 24/7, Teeny Tiny Wishes.
