LIST: Colours (navy, white, orange, turquoise, yellow, green), Techniques (joseph's coat, heat embossing), Elements (waves, sentiment strip, white frame, navy frame)
INCLUDE: white, orange, turquoise yellow, green
MODIFY: used black instead of navy, geometric pattern (not waves), used stencil instead of heat embossing for Joseph's coat, reversed frames - black then white, inlaid white on black sentiment instead of
EXCLUDE: stitched edges
SPIN: Negative frame, splatter and painted die cut stars.
I was fascinated by the colourful waves on the inspiration card, and realized that the look of Joseph's coat can be achieved in a number of different ways. The inspiration uses emboss-resist, and I changed mine to use a stencil over a panel blended with similar colours. In fact, my stencil was a coverplate die cut, which I like because I now have a black die cut that I can use on another card, rather than a stencil I have to clean! lol! I then customized the panel by using a small star die to create a little stencil, and added ink-blended stars into the design.
I used a MFT die cut sentiment, and cut a circle negative frame from my panel to add some interest. I also splattered the panel with some gold watercolour, then painted some paper with the same gold watercolour before die-cutting some stars to use as embellishments.

So creative that you used a coverplate die cut as your stencil. I don't know why I have never thought of that. Beautiful results for hubby's birthday card.

I love when one card makes another card. That cover plate is wonderful, Ardyth. Your card of Kathy's card is so colorful with the bright colors against the black!!

Great take on your inspiration and thanks for all the details. What a great idea to use your cover die as a stencil - will use that nugget of crafting genius on future cards! Hadn't heard of the Joseph's coat technique but like the variegated colored BG.

Fantastic case. Love how you create the panel with blended colors and then stenciled over it. Awesome look! Great technique to create the focal point, too. Thanks for the inspiration and the challenge.
