Layered Thoughts
Today's card uses the Layered Thoughts stamp set with one of my favorite techniques . . . Joseph's Coat.
I have used this technique a ton in my stamping years. You start with a piece of white cardstock and sponge or brush various colors all over it. Once you have your paper covered you stamp your image with Versamark. Be sure you are using a juicy Versamark pad. As you can see, I did not get enough Versamark on my stamp for the top Happy Birthday, so my image is not as colorful as I would like. Emboss with Clear Embossing Powder. Once that is good and dry, drag a Memento Black juicy in pad over the cardstock. Once your cardstock is nice and dark, use a paper towel to wipe it off and the black ink will resist where you stamped and emossed the images.
Yesterday was definitely a day of rest, but today I am on the go again. I need to pick up prescriptions, go to Iowa City to get groceries, and then come home and clean off my kitchen table again. That seems to be a never ending battle!!
Happy Stamping!!
