Rainbows with stencils

 Rainbows with stencils

Believe it or not I am having fun with rainbow colors!  Yes, me ... the one who said she didn't do rainbow colors.  Continuing with Jen Rzasa's Altenew Tuesday #altenewchallengelive Radiant Rainbows.

Basic instructions:

Cut strips of Altenew masking paper - 1/4" and 1/8".  ***You can use any masking paper you have in your stash.*** Layer a stencil over the panel with the masking paper strips.  Blend the color of the rainbow over the stencil.  Remove the stencil. Before removing the masking paper strips... with the same colors blend color over the stenciled areas. Remove the strips to reveal the fun.   Layer the stencil panel to dark panel then onto base card.

I couldn't stop there sooooooooo I did one more card doing the technique I call Joseph's Coat with a stencil twist.  

You can see how I did this technique in this post with a video I did back in 2020!  Wow, didn't think it was that long ago since I did this technique.  Time flies when having fun.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon. 

 

Joseph's coat

 

stamps used:  Catherine pooler stamps/dies

I do like to bring back oldie but goodie techniques and this is one of them ..... Joseph's coat!  It is one of those dramatic effects that when someone sees it they say, " how did you do that!"

basic instructions:

1.  blend or sponge on color all over card.

2.  allow to dry.  use an embossing buddy over the colored card.

3.  stamp images on card with clear embossing ink (any brand) then sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat emboss.

4.  next dtp (direct to paper) with black ink pad.  you could also use a brayer or sponge ... you just want to cover the entire card with black ink.

5.  buff off excess ink with soft cloth and watch the magic happen!

tip:  use bright colors for the first step for best results.

See more Joseph's coat w/video here, and here. 

thank you for stopping by.  come back again soon.

Joseph coat technique

stamps used:  Hot Potatoes, DeNami Design, Sunday International

(unfortunately these companies are no longer in business and I don't know if any have been taken over by other companies.)

Joseph's Coat technique is an old technique that is coming back.  Basically this is a resist technique with a fancy name.

Basic instructions:

1.  color sheet of cardstock by stippling, sponging or blending on different colors.

2.  Cut the colored cardstock into four pieces 4" x 5 1/4"

3.  stamp bold images with clear ink and clear embossing powder.  The colors will show thru the clear embossing.

4.  color the embossed piece with a dark ink.  I used a purple ink pad which I just dragged over the piece to cover it.

5.  buff the card to remove any ink from the embossed images and you are done with this technique, now you can create your cards.

What do you think?
