Gorgeous Joseph’s Coat technique with free project sheet & video

August 12, 2025

Here’s another beautiful card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique. I shared it on last week’s Live video. It’s so fun!

My colors include Secret Sea, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling. The stamp set is called Artistic Leaves and can be seen here.

ARTISTIC LEAVES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

This technique involved adding color to White card stock and then heat embossing images in Clear powder over the colors. Next rub a dark ink pad (Memento Black here). The embossed images resist the black ink – it must be water-based ink!

Watch the video below to see how it’s done. It’s super fun and such a cool effect.

I stamped the inside leaf with color by inking it in Timid Tiger ink and adding Secret Sea to the outer edges. Then I stamped the coordinating stamp in Darling Duckling.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Just click on the following link to print or download it. Download Artistic Leaves Joseph’s Coat

I love these stencils! They are so easy to work with. Watch the video below for a special tip on lining them up.

This card looks like it might be hard to assemble but with the center 'brace' that helps the center panel pop out it's quite simple. It will really help you understand how to make it if you watch the video tutorial below.

My colors include Melon Mambo with Blueberry Bushel. Here's how the card looks with the inside brace added before I adhered the center panel:

I made the yellow/green version on the video to show a different color combo.

I colored the flowers by using the stencils included in the bundle. So easy and makes you look like a true artist with the high and low lights added with blending brushes.
