Another one of the challenges at 2peas is called Joseph's coat techinque. It involves using multicoloured ink on glossy card, adding a stamped image with Versamark and clear embossing and then putting black ink all over and buffing it off the stamped image to get the multicolours coming through. I tried a number of times, but as I did not have a black dye ink and used pigment ink it really didn't work. So I improvised and used a dark distress ink called Aged Mahogany, This was the result. I was rather pleased with it in the end. I'm sure black would have been more dramatic but by mounting it on the gold foil ( some of yesterdays left over tinfoil covered with Butterscotch alcohol ink) made it pop a bit. The stamps are by Inkadinkadoo. The blue card stock is actually much darker than it looks here.
Today I also made a start on a couple more Christmas cards. Still working on finishing them. Tomorrow is a holiday here in New Zealand - for Labour Day ( to celebrate the 40 hr working week) so another day at home to do some crafting. Yeah!!!
Have a great week one and all....
