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.
