The week I’m exploring a new to me technique – the Joseph’s Coat technique. It can produce stunningly beautiful cards – and also an unholy mess. I’ve done both!
You start by covering a piece of cardstock in whatever colours you like. Here I used Just Jade, bermuda bay , pretty peacock and shaded spruce with sponge daubers, but you could use sponges if you prefer. Leave it to get really dry. I spent the time grabbing different colors and making layers for other cards.
Next grab a stamp set and using versamark, stamp on the card and then sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat. This example is using the Dandelion Wishes stamp set. Make sure that this is dry and then grab a dark ink pad – I used tuxedo black memento – and completely cover the layer. Grab a paper towel and wipe off the colour on the raised images and you’ll see the colours shine through.
I added a Just Jade layer as a mat and mounted this onto a basic black cardbase. The sentiment was from Forever Fern and cut out with the Stitched Nested labels dies.
You can see where the name of the technique comes from – Joseph’s coat of many colors.
