A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts

August 11, 2025

Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique? It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

I shared how to do it on last week’s Live video. The card I’m featuring today uses the Layering Thoughts technique with three of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.

These colors – card stock, ink, refills, gems, markers and card stock are all 15% off in August. See these products and so much more here. It’s a great time to grab these items while discounted.

This technique involves a few steps:

sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White.
Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer.
Stamp your images using Versamark ink.
Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry.
Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer. The embossed areas will resist the water based ink.
Dab off excess ink with a tissue or paper towel. Done!

Here’s how I finished the inside. I wanted to use all of the colors I colored on the front so I used my Stampin’ Write markers on the stamp before stamping.

Here is the free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it. Download Layered Thoughts Joseph’s Coat Technique

I’ll be sharing the other cards in the next few days. Stay tuned!

I was going for a clean & simple look since that's our March Team swap theme. I just received this pretty stamp set and love the 2-step & distinktive set a lot! See this stamp set here.

My colors include Black, White, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves. The embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and is from the Annual Catalog.

I also used the new Textured Notes dies for the stitched rectangles. These are incredible! See them here:
