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!

The video tutorial for this card and two more versions is below. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here so you don’t miss any of my tutorials.

I was inspired by a card my friend Susie Wood made and sent to me. She is fabulous at designing fun fold cards and an amazing designer. Check out her blog here.

She used the same designer paper and the Leaf Fall embossing folder but her stamp set is Cheers to the Season seen here.
