Joseph’s Coat

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!

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Joseph's Coat - Dandelion Wishes

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.

Rooted in Nature again

I decided to use a different incolor for the next Rooted in Nature card. Here I show you Misty Moonlight. I can’t decide if this is my favourite new color or the Just Jade that I showed on Wednesday.

I don’t have the new inks yet but luckily April’s paper pumpkin contained a little Misty Moonlight stampin’ spot. So I was able to stamp both the tree and the sentiment. The background is the new 2020-2022 incolor DSP and I layered that onto a whisper white layer before adding it to the misty moonlight card base.

I used the Stitched so Sweetly die set to create the layer for my die cut tree and the Stitched Nested Labels for the sentiment. The final touch was an overhand knot in the new Misty Moonlight 1/4 inch ribbon attached with a glue dot.
