Joseph's Coat Technique with a Twist ~ Technique Tuesday ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with another Technique Tuesday! On the 2nd Tuesday of each month I'll be sharing a bit of inspiration and a video featuring a fun technique. I hope that you'll be inspired to get inky and play along with some of the techniques that I share.

Today's technique is a fun little twist on the Joseph's Coat Technique. I shared a masculine card a few days ago using this technique but this time I've changed it up a bit.

I created a colorful background by blending Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, and Ripe Persimmon on a white card front. Next, I stamped the beautiful stamps from the Hive and Herb stamps using an embossing ink and I heat embossed each stamped image with a clear embossing powder. I then stamped the wonderful Honeycomb Chaos background stamp in the lower right side and heat embossed it, too.

Now for my little twist... I blended Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink over the background. Usually this technique uses a black ink. I know that's not super crazy or anything but it sure is fun! And I just love how the colors pop!

Another twist on this technique... since I used distress oxide ink I was able to do some water splatter on the card and look at that added dimension. Loving it! 

To finish off the card, I die cut the panel with the Postage Stamp {nesting dies}. I wrapped it with some copper metallic thread securing it on the back of the panel with tape. Adhered it to a yellow mat and then a dark brown card front. I then adhered the entire piece to a white A2 top fold card base. Stamped the sentiment with white pigment ink and heat embossed a white embossing powder. Trimmed up the sentiment and adhered it directly to the card.

You can check out my process video here... Joseph's Coat Technique with a Twist | Hive and Herb | Unity Stamp Co.

Such a fun technique and so many possibilities depending on what colors you use for your base and for the pop! If you give this fun technique a try, I'd love to see what you create so please share your cards in the Unity Show & Tell group and tag me. Have an ink-tastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Masculine Birthday ~ Shatter & Keepin it Classy ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Sharing a fun masculine card today using the amazing new Shatter background stamp and Keepin it Classy stamps that just released over at Unity Stamp Co. I had a fun idea using the Joseph's Coat Technique and I think it turned out pretty cool.

The background was ink smooshed with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks. I left a lot of white on the background too. I then stamped the cool Shatter background stamp using a Wow Clear Embossing ink. I applied Crystal Clear Embossing powder to the inked background and melted it with my heat tool. 

I wanted the embossing nice and thick and I meant to restamp the background in my stamp platform but I forgot to replace my corner magnet and pulled out my card stock. SO... I heated up the embossed background and dabbed it in the embossing powder and then melted it again. I did this a few times all over the card front so the embossed area was well embossed. And then I blended over the entire background with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink. The black ink covered the background that wasn't heat embossed giving this wonderful dimension to the card!

Love how the background turned out! I trimmed it up and adhered it to a black card front. I then stamped the car from the Keepin it Classy stamps and colored it up with my Copic markers. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers that I used: YR000, YR15, YR68, Y02, Y15, N0, N2, N4, C00, C1, C3

I fussy cut the car on the line. Made the edges look all nice and neat with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. I added a bunch of foam tape to the back of the car and popped it up on the card. To finish off the card, I trimmed the sentiment and adhered it to the card and trimmed off the excess that was hanging off the edge.
