Hi
Friends!
I had fun stamping this past weekend and I
decided to try an older technique, Joseph’s Coat (see the Splitcoaststamperstutorial here) for a few cards – what a fun technique!
I had tried the Joseph’s Coat Technique a few years ago and I wanted to create a fairly Clean and Simple (CAS) card so I decided
to incorporate the Splitcoaststampers’ SC62 Sketch Challenge along with the CAS377 “Groovy Elements”, the
Mix-Ability MIX162 “Time for the Primaries” and the USEIT2016 Challenges (the retired Fresh Vintage image has not seen ink in years :-)).
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above Splitcoaststampers’ galleries
yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous cards and inspiration from all!!
Use
Sponge Daubers, apply Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point and Rose Red Classic Ink to
a piece of Glossy White cardstock, blending the colors but leaving some of the
true color as well.
Once
the ink as dried, de-static with an Embossing Buddy® and stamp the medallion
image from Fresh Vintage (retired SAB set) over the background (I tried to
avoid overlapping but it was difficult :-)).
Apply
Stampin’ Emboss® Clear Embossing Powder , heat set with the Heat Tool and allow
the embossed images to cool.
Once
cooled, use a Sponge Dauber (versus a brayer as in the tutorial) to apply Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink over the
images, applying multiple coats to achieve the darkness you desire.
Wipe
off the excess ink with a paper towel and trim a piece to create the panel on
the card.
Fold
a piece of Extra Thick Whisper White cardstock in half (I used a 4 ¼” x 11”
piece scored at 5 ½” and ended up trimming the final card to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” to fit
an envelope I had on hand).
Another view- I should have used the Embossing Buddy a bit heavier in the center- oops! :-) |
Quick
and easy and I had so much fun with this technique that I created a second card
with a large background stamp- I will post that one later this evening :-).
Stamp

the time to stop by- hugs to all of you!

Julie this is a stunning card. The verse is so special and I really like the rainbow of colours on the flowers. Thanks for sharing.
