My card features the Amazing stamp set from March 2019 Simon Says Stamp kit. I love the art work - it's so retro. The butterfly stamp/die is from Pink and Main and the sentiment label is from Spellbinders. The sentiment, in full says, "Have I told you lately that you're amazing?" - well all that wouldn't fit so I blocked it all out and just inked up "amazing."
The technique is called Joseph's Coat - it's been around for a long time. I know I did something like this when I first joined Stampin' Up! 21 years ago. I used Distress Oxide inks on Bristol Smooth card stock. I blended on 3 colors that I honestly can't remember what they were - Peacock Feathers was one of them. I then stamped the images and clear embossed them. Then I covered the whole panel with Chipped Sapphire. Once it was fairly dry I buffed the ink off of the images to brighten them up.
I got this new embossing folder at Joann's - 50% off so I used it on the pink panel. I love how this turned out!
I hope to see you over at the TMS blog and be sure to leave some love for the team.
