Streaking Technique - Stamp the image in the center of your card. Stamp the image on to a Post-It note and cut it close. Cover the image with the Post-It note. Ink up a makeup sponge with the tip of the yellow marker by pinching the marker a couple of times, getting the sponge fairly wet. Set the sponge on the Post-It note and pull it towards yourself – only swipe one time. DO NOT go back & forth. Do this in four to six areas on the cardstock. Ink up another sponge with a green marker. Use the same motion as above, overlapping the color in some areas. Finish by inking another makeup sponge with the brown marker, streaking until the cardstock is covered. Remove the Post-It note.
Seal with cheap hairspray or Sealant to preserve the color.
Here is a Christmas card using the same layout.
