This weeks card we are doing an oldie but goodie
technique called Joseph's Coat.
I made many samples but only 2 that I was actually happy with.
I'll show you my failures in class!
This card is for all you ink blenders who have a heavy hand!
We're water stamping! I used distress oxides because I like the way they blend,
but any water soluble ink will work.
Some are inked randomly others are linear.
worn lipstick, picked raspberry & seedless preserves
What an adventure today's class was.
They moved us back to our old room #7 on the second floor.
Just as we were starting class the electricity went out,
so no heat setting for the emboss resist technique!
As we're leaving I realized that the elevator wouldn't be working!
I am pleased to say we all made it down successfully with the help of the center staff!
I took Paseo home after lunch completely forgetting about the power outage,
they put a mobile stop sign at the intersections,
I can't believe they didn't put a cop up there to direct traffic.
It was crazy!
On to next weeks card.
We will be using this wonderful Pink Ink Sea Turtle.
The background is a faux watercolor with distress inks.
