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!

Hat’s Off; a neat bundle with so many possibilities. Video tutorial too!

June 28, 2021
The Hat's Off bundle was a bit of a sleeper to me when I first saw it. But seeing what other's created with it made me buy it.

Once I played with it, I absolutely loved it! See this bundle here.

I created this card for my June card clubs.

Save

I chose these colors; Gray Granite, Real Red, Crushed Curry and Misty Moonlight. I stamped the background stars with Versamark ink. I love the tone on tone this ink pad provides.

The stars are from the Stitched Stars dies and the texture is from the Checks & Dots embossing folder duo seen here.

Scroll down to watch the video.
