Joseph's Coat

Hi there,

Some doofus went and injured her back yet again, so life has been a wee steady.

I pulled out the Joseph's Coat piece from my backgrounds drawer, sat and looked at it for a few days and almost put it back again. (I just like looking at the colours that came through when I was making it...lol)

In the end, I decided to sacrifice it and put it to card. The stamped featured is from Hero Arts. Gorgeous, isn't it? I love quite a few in their catalogue this year.

Remember, if in Australia, I retail Hero Arts stuff!

Cheers!

Oh So Bright

Evening all....

Hope you have your sunnies on for this one...A bit bright it is!

Ok, this is a card made up with one of my Reverse Joseph Coat's pieces from the other day. I used the Nostalgic Kaleidacolour for the brilliant colouring. I only attached a small greeting...on purpose, so I could see as much of the background as possible.

I regret playing with that particular Nesties set with it though, as the border is bigger than what I am normally comfortable with. I wish they would make an interim set with this shape so you could have the "skinny" border happening! Once I had cut the pretty piece I was more or less obligated to cut the layer too... (I think I am not at all happy with the outcome and I think it is the use of the Nesties which has me
offside with the results.)

Read on if you are interested in the tech...

****Firstly, I brayer my colour on to white gloss card.
***Then I stamp my image with Versamark which I clear emboss....(Pretty important to remember to anti static the piece here before stamping!!!)
**After that, I run the black Adirondack pad over the top.
*I use paper towelling to wipe off the excess and to buff.
And there you have it!
