This week I’m showing you cards using the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set and this one uses one of the stamps in an unexpected way.
I used the stamp that is intended for adding the blossoms to the Queen Anne’s Lace and made a background using just jade, shaded spruce and pretty peacock. I wrapped a piece of the just jade in-color ribbon around the whisper white layer before adhering it to a just jade card base. Then I added a bow and attached it with a glue dot. What stamps have you used in an unexpected way?

This week I’m showing you cards using the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set. My apologies for being a day late, but the storms caused me to be without power or even cell phone coverage for 32 hours. Not a problem apart from my blog since I’d had to hurriedly change this week’s set since my originally planned choice is on backorder.
I stamped the stems in pear pizzazz and then heat embossed the flowers in white. It’s fairly subtle but I really like how it came out. I matted with pear pizzazz and used the same colour for the sentiment which also comes from the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set. I then layered that onto a thick whisper white card base. As I often do, I die cut the sentiment using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and popped it up with dimensionals.

Here’s my third card of the week using the Joseph’s Coat technique.
As you know by now, you start by covering a piece of cardstock in whatever colours you like. This time I applied pear pizzazz, old olive and mossy meadow with sponge daubers. Leave it to get really dry.
Next grab a stamp set and using versamark, stamp on the card and then sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat. The stamp set I used on this card is the Forever Fern which I stamped using my stamparatus so that I could do it all at once.
When the embossing was dry, I smeared my early espresso stamp pad all over the piece of card. After that I used a paper towel to wipe off the colour on the raised images so that the colours shine through.
Tip: If you do a lot of the Joseph’s Coat technique and especially if you use the same dark colors, you’ll probably need to reink your ink pads.
I mounted this onto a mossy meadow card base and added the sentiment, also from the Forever Fern set stamped in early espresso. I cut it out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies and popped it up with dimensionals.
I’ll be demonstrating three cards made with the Joseph’s Coat technique in just over an hour on Facebook Live at 11am EST and also will upload that to YouTube.
