OK...so I know that DTP means direct to paper....but how else would your immage get on the paper if you weren't directly putting it there. I am confused!!!
Direct to Paper refers to putting your ink pad directly on the paper, not the image. You rub/drag the ink pad along the sides to color the edging on your cs or to give a *weathered* look to your project.

you are actually right! the immage cannot get on the paper without someone or something putting it there. but emily has the best description to what DTP means to us stampers!
I've always considered DTP and sponging to be two different techniques. When you do DTP you use only the ink pad right on the paper. Sponging gives a very different, softer look.

That's what I thought too. "Direct" To Paper meaning the ink pad "directly" to the paper without use of anything else to get it there (brush, sponge, rubber, etc.). So the Spotted Background Technique would be an example of DTP.
Dumb question....no laughing allowed
