First, I take my ink pad (either classic or craft), lay it flat on the paper and swirl it around. Sort of like direct to paper I guess, but it seems like a different look. Just be sure your fingers are on the side of the ink pad, not pushing on the backside of the pad.
A very easy technique, but I really like the results...so I thought I would share.
***Update*** I played with this technique a little more this morning. This time I embossed my images first, then swirled the ink pad around on the cardstock. Then I took a wet wipe and cleaned off the embossed images and blended the ink a little. I attached the card to this post:
Here is a peek at the results:

Beautiful! I just traced back and found your scrapbook page with the new wheel... georgous! I'm going to try your technique today. I cant wait until my Bud Basics stamps come in!
How about if we think up a bunch of names and then we will do a poll, and who ever the winner is will get a surprise RAK from me?? I like all the names so far...so it would be too hard for me to pick!!
Sound like fun?

Beautiful job with this new techinique, Mandy. I'm going to try it. I can't think of a good name. The only thing that comes to mind is Direct Swirl.
Direct Swirl...I like that!
As of right now I have 8 entries so I will start putting the poll together. If anyone else has any last minute entries let me know, I will post the poll in a hour

I did the same thing with the craft spot and it came out so cool! I posted it a few months ago. Check out the green looking paper. It's acutally AAppeal with Artichoke smeared on in a rubbing motion. Here's the link: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I guess great minds think alike!

That is cool I will have to try it with craft ink. This has been a favorite technique of mine for awhile, I just never thought it was all that great until some of my stamping friends started to ooooh and aaah over it....so I thought I would share
Here is a scrapbook page I posted back in October of 2005 with this technique:
Thank you, it is just Blush blossom I usually never use this color, but this technique gives it a little extra pizzaz that I think it is missing.
Thanks for the info - I've been playing as well and watching this thread. Haven't learned to work the digital cameras still... it certainly does add pizzaz to blush blossom!
I like the direct to paper swirl.since that is really what you are doing.
