Something Saturday - Joseph's Coat

Hi Creators, 

A friend mentioned recently seeing someone doing this technique and suggested I did it as a video, it's one of my favourite techniques although I haven't done it for ages, and I hadn't done it since we had Blending Brushes, Oh my goodness it's a game changer - so much easier!

It's called Josephs coat for relatively obvious reasons - that you get a beautiful multi-coloured pattern.

Anyway on to the photos, here is the one I created in the video, I'm quite impressed with how it turned out, as I really couldn't see where I'd stamped so I was kind of guessing 🤣  I forgot to use my embossing buddy hence the lighter areas where the embossing powder stuck to the cardstock, all in all though I'm happy with it.

And my finished card, I decided to minimise the bits that the excess embossing powder stuck to by popping some vellum over the top, it allows the pattern to show through, and I've heat embossed the saying with white powder.  Oh, the Stamp set I used is Natures Prints Stamps such a lovely delicate set.

I've also used some of my latest bling: Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems  Bought these to share with my Craft@Home group, and have to admit I rather like them 😃

The first piece I made up was this one, using the Art Gallery Stamp set

 

And some more of the Fine Sparkle gems.....

 

 

To do this you'll need blending brushes, some bright colours and a dark colour.  Also Versamark, clear embossing powder, an embossing buddy and heat tool 

You start off by adding bright colours randomly to your cardstock, then use the embossing buddy to reduce the static on your card before stamping using Versamark, dust over with clear embossing powder and heat set it.  Lastly brush the dark colour over top thoroughly, and using a tissue wipe off the excess from the clear embossed images.  and Voila your images will pop off the page!

I hope this inspires you to have a go too

God Bless love
