Stamp petroglyph background with dune pigment ink (Clearsnap) on bond paper & emboss with clear powder. Mist the paper lightly with water, then wad it up & smooth it out several times. While the paper is still damp, rub caramel, butterscotch, and ginger dye inks (Adirondack by Ranger) over the paper. The ink will resist the embossed areas. Repeat the process of wadding the paper, smoothing it out & adding ink until the paper is completely covered. Mist with water as needed. When you're satisfied with the ink coverage, let the paper dry flat.
