Joseph’s Coat

by Melissa Stout

Use this technique to create a gorgeous multi-colored background.

Supplies

  • Glossy White Cardstock

  • Spectrum Pad

  • Black Dye Inkpad (Or other dark color)

  • Spectrum Pad™

  • Versamark™ Pad

  • Embossing Buddy™

  • Clear Embossing Powder

  • Heat Tool

  • Brayer (I use 2: 1 for Black only, 1 for all my other projects)


Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Brayer the Spectrum Pad™ of your choice on to the glossy white cardstock and allow it to dry.

  2. Step 2

    Rub the Embosssing Buddy™ over the cardstock, then randomly stamp your images with Versamark™ ink.

  3. Step 3

    Pour clear embossing powder over stamped images, and heat to emboss with your heat tool. Allow to cool.

  4. Step 4

    Brayer black dye ink over cardstock to cover completely.

    Tip: I reserve one brayer for use with black ink only, because it is nearly impossible to clean. I keep a separate attachment to use with all of my other ink colors.

  5. Step 5

    Wipe excess ink from stamped images to make them POP!

  6. Step 6

    Finish your card.

It reminds me of being a kid & coloring with lots of different pencil crayons, then covering it with black crayon & using a toothpick to scratch designs off! Love how you replicated this with stamping!

Hi,
I was wondering if you can use the glossy white photo paper as well?

I don't have any spectrum ink pads but i am going to try it by sponging different colors onto the background. Anybody tried it this way?
