Joseph's Coat

Hi There!

Thought it might be fun to

re-visit an old technique ....

...... very old.......I remember

doing this in Primary School!

Here's Helen Chilton to start

us off..............

"Rub the Distress inks onto a panel of glossy card.

Stencil the mosaic pattern over the top 

with VersaMark...

... and then emboss in clear

Rub over a dark coloured inkpad - 

I used Black Soot.

Buff over with a cloth to remove ink 

from embossing.

 I don't think I let the ink 'cure' for long enough 

as it came out quite pale so I ....

....then rubbed over with Chipped Sapphire 

and left it for a bit longer.

Rub some Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin 

onto a small piece of glossy.

Lay over and clear emboss the fish fossil

Rub over blue and black until black and blue(!) 

and then buff up.

I then added some definition with a black pen

 as it was annoying me!

Add more black pen to the background and

 layer up on card. I added some messy ribbon 

and fibres - I like a bit of a mess!"

Materials used:

Tim Holtz Layering Stencil: 
The Crafters Workshop template: 
Distress Ink pads and Versamark Pads:
Stamp and Stuff Detail embossing powder: 

Lovely bright start to the week

Helen, thank you very much.

Just when you think you have all

the layering stencils you will ever

need; somebody uses one you haven't

got!   Always the way

'Till tomorrow
