Emerging Color

For this technique, you need a heat tool and embossing powder.

Instructions:

Start by stamping a repeated image all over a neutral piece of cardstock. You can choose to use one or more colors. You need to use classic ink.
Using Versamark ink, stamp an image repeatedly onto the same piece of cardstock. This technique works best with an image that has a large, inked surface area.
Sprinkle Clear Embossing powder over the surface and it will stick only to the Versamark stamped images.
Use a heat tool to heat the clear embossing powder. Now the first stamped images are visible through the shiny, clear embossing powder.
Use a brayer to evenly spread a dark color of ink over the entire surface of the cardstock. I chose Always Artichoke.
Take a paper towel and wipe the excess ink off of the embossed images, revealing the images below.
This is what the finished piece will look like.
  Here is the finished project.
