Winter Woods and Joseph's Coat technique - a case

I remember doing this technique for the first time when I went to a Demonstrator training session a number of years ago.  I loved  it then an I love it now.  I had forgotten about it until I saw a card made by.Kristi

On a Thick Very Vanilla card base I layered a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Very Vanilla embossed with the Pinewood planks embossing folder.

The art piece consists of a 3 by 3 1/8" piece of Very Vanilla card stock matted with Pumpkin Pie (4 1/8 by 3 1/4")

On the art piece do the technique in the following way:

• with a sponge for each color of Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight, apply each color randomly over the entire surface of the Very Vanilla art piece.  This is done as smoothly as possible without leaving any streak marks.
• using Versa Mark, stamp the image of the trees from Winter Woods and emboss with clear embossing powder.
• then sponge Early Espresso ink generously over the entire art piece
• once done wipe the area with a paper towel to remove the ink over the embossed trees to reveal the brilliant Autumn colors (emboss resist).
• mat the art piece with Pumpkin Pie card stock, wrap some braided twine  around the lower part and add it to the card front.
• use an Early Espresso and Pumpkin pie markers color the sentiment from "Country Home" and add to the card front using dimensionals.
• Stamp two leaves from "Colorful Seasons" - one in Daffodil Delight and one in Pumpkin Pie.  Die cut using the coordinating framelits and add to the left end of the sentiment strip.  Make a bow with the  braided twine and add to stems of leaves.    

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Winter Woods, Country Home, Colorful Seasons

Inks:  Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Versa Mark, SU markers (Early Espresso, Cajun Craze)

Awesomely Artistic Friend - Try Stampin on Tuesday #243

What beautiful weather we have been experiencing - more like spring/early summer than fall going into winter.  I believe a cooler trend is approaching, but I did enjoy the warm temperatures while they lasted.
Today's card is for the sketch with Try Stampin' on Tuesday  
The option was to add ribbon to the card, which I did.  And, because it is fall, I used fall colours on my card.

• The image is from "Awesomely Artistic" and coloured with an aquapainter and ink pads.  The flowers were painted in Hello Honey and Crushed Curry - the leaves Old Olive and Always Artichoke.  Chocolate chip was used for the centers and some of this colour was extended into the flower.
• The edges of the Whisper White panel was sponged with Chocolate Chip and then matted with Chocolate Chip cardstock.
• Using the small banner punch, 3 banners (one Hello Honey, one Old Olive, and one Chocolate Chip) were punched and attached to the bottom of the image panel.  A rhinestone was placed on each of these banners.
• The panel at the bottom of the card was coloured using Joseph's coat technique, using the colours of the flowers.  The fern leaves were stamped with Versa Mark in a random pattern on this strip of Whisper White.  White embossing powder was applied and heat set.  Then the 3 colours were sponged randomly on this strip covering it completely.  When dry, and embossing buddy was rubbed across the surface before applying a layer of Versa Mark.  Clear embossing powder which was heat set completes this panel.
• The basic card is Hello Honey cardstock, layered with Whisper White.  I used the stamp with dots on it to stamp a random pattern across the surface of this layer - again using the 3 colours in the flower.
• The coloured panel was adhered to the lower portion of this layer, and the image panel adhered using dimensionals.
• A chocolate chip bow with some gold twine wrapped around it was adhered to the bottom using a glue dot.
• The sentiment is from the same stamp set, stamped in Chocolate Chip ink, made into a banner and adherred with dimensionals.  The edges were also sponged.
• Three more rhinestones were added to the upper right of the card.
• Finally, some gold glitter was added to the center of the flowers.
