thank you to all those who left comments.
  
Today I am sharing a  Happy Birthday Card done with those fabulous stamps from the Tim Holtz collections Crazy Birds.  The background is my creation  using Dyan Reavely Paints..  These paints will leave you magnetized to your media and transmit a wonderful glazed veneer finish on your cardstock.
The stamped bird is colored using Tim Holtz Distress Markers.

Die Cuts  used are from:   
 Tim Holtz Alterations Thinlets - Celebration Words 
 Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix  die called "Lattice".

All of these products can be purchased at the wonderful online store that I design for:

I incorporated a few techniqes which employ embossing.
Embossing Instructions:
The background layer the girl is on, consists of Gesso applied to cardstock which was dried and heat set.
The second step is the painting of mediums:
I dabbed using an applicator onto the gesso piece with Ranger Alcohol inks and Rubbing Alcohol,
In the final step of painting, I included some light applications of Tim Holtz Distress Stains. Heat set and dry
For the Dry Embossing application, I ran this piece through my Sizzix Big Shot Machine to create an impression using Sizzix Tim Holtz Texture Fades " Collage and Notebook folder ".
For the last step incorporating 'wet embossing',  I applied  Green Pigment Ink brayering lightly overtop of the dry embossed piece and embossed the wet portion with clear embossing powder. Dried and set with a heat gun.
