When I enrolled in the Online Card Class “Spring Card Camp 2022” I knew I wouldn’t have much time to participate. The first week of class we were in Wisconsin, and the two weeks since have been packed. I don’t think I’ve been this busy since way before the pandemic. Today is the last day you can submit a card to the gallery, and I finally had time last night to try the Joseph’s Coat technique.
I was fascinated with the technique, and I’m really pleased with the results. I started by ink blending a piece of card stock with a variety of Distress Oxide Inks in a rainbow of colors. Then you place a stencil on top of the ink blended card stock and brush a heavy coat of Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink on top of it.
Pulling the stencil off is such an “ah ha!” experience.
I embossed one of the sentiments from The Greetery’s “Everyday Labels” and die cut it. I love the font and Art Deco look of these sentiments, and it seems perfect for this graphic background.
I’m entering this in Seize the Birthday Challenge: Use a Stencil and the Addicted to Stamps and More challenge where they’re looking for “Die Cuts and Stencils.”
And also to the NBUS June Gallery as I’ve never used the My Favorite Things “Basket Weave” stencil before—or this technique!
I have a list of six more techniques I want to try from this class and a nice selection of new products (thanks to birthday gifts,) so hopefully the blog will soon be a bit busier than it’s been the last few weeks.
This Basket Weave stencil is so pretty and is the perfect design to use with the Jacob’s Coat technique also with this lovely combination of colours Karen, and it has worked brilliantly. The large label style sentiment plate embossed in white on black goes beautifully too. Thank you so much for joining in with the NBUS Challenge this month. x
This looks stunning! Love the sound of this technique, I’ve never tried it. The diecut sentiment suits the stencilled design perfectly. Thankyou for joining in at Seize the Birthday, Cathy x
Karen, I am so happy I came by to get a better look of this. Love the colors and the sentiment too. The pattern design and sentiment look as if they were made for each other. I am definitely going to give this a try very soon. Thanks for the inspiration and for linking up at Seize the Birthday!
What a bright and vibrant card! It reminds me a bit of an eighties design – in a good way!
Love the card, especially the art deco style sentiment. I am not sure why you are taking classes, you could be teaching them!! But then it is always good to be prompted, isn’t it.
Brilliant display of the technique. I agree with Susanne, you could be teaching these techniques!
That background is just amazing, love it xx
A huge WOW from me on this one, Karen! What a fabulous design! Your technique shines on this great card! I love how you used the Greetery sentiments with it, they work so well together.
Bless you for explaining this technique so clearly, Karen! I’ve heard of it, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried it. I love it, especially with your choice of stencil and art deco sediment! Thank you for inspiring me and everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
O wow! So stunning against the black!
