A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts

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

Save

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:

1. sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White. 
2. Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer. 
3. Stamp your images using Versamark ink. 
4. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry. 
5. Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer.  The embossed areas will resist the water based ink. 
6. 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.

• Autumn Leaves card with free project sheet; great layout for 6 X 6″ designer paper

  September 4, 2023

  I created about 25 of these pretty cards for a recent online swap. We also made it at a Team Meeting in August.

  My colors include Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Lost Lagoon, Copper and Very Vanilla.  I used the new Autumn Leaves bundle from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  It goes live for customers on September 6th.  

  You might wonder how I achieved the two tone leaf. I inked the leaf in Pumpkin Pie ink and rubbed off the edges a bit.  Then I added Pretty Peacock ink to the edges of the stamp with a sponge dauber, huffed and stamped.  

  Here's the inside:
