Another Jacob's Coat card

 







Good Morning Ladies,

Another chilly day over here,  I have gotten all my winter jumpers out again and my thermal layers!  I can't cope with being cold it makes all your aches and pains more achy & painy!! 

I cannot get my head around the fact that it's the last day of April,  it has definitely bought us a mixed bag of weather,  the beginning was lovely,  we had some beautiful days in the garden, the highlight of April was seeing you lovely ladies and witnessing some absolutely beautiful flowers in the garden. 

Todays card is another Joseph's Coat card,  I used shades of green and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks, I then used some different leaf stamps to build a background I stamped in Versamark and added Clear embossing powder and heat set,  this seals in those lovely green shades.


 I then covered the whole piece with Dark Blue ink, l and then used a paper towel to clean off any excess Navy Blue ink.  To finish the card I matted and layered onto matching card and added a stamped sentiment with a little die cut foliage behind.  

Its a bit of a messy technique,  I tip I would give is to use a piece of scrap paper to hold the piece when adding the ink as your fingers will lift the ink.

I hope you are all warm & cosy today, 

Love & Hugs to all of you,

Sandra xxx

  1. This is so pretty and very effective I had a go at this technique and it was a fail I think you’re right Sandra I chose stamps that were too detailed
    We have sunshine! I wonder how long it will last! Will do a little bit of housework and maybe walk to the local shops for some delicious bread and then craft/catch up on sleep!
    Take care everyone xx

  3. Hello, cold and wet again, still have the heating on full, I feel so cold. Tooth or lack of is settling down today.

    Just booked our covid booster, for spring .Not sure who qualifies this time, thought we would take advantage of the offer.

    Today’s card is fabulous, I tried this technique years ago, but just ended up with a smudged mess, will have another go this week maybe.
    Have a good afternoon, Lilian

  4. We have had a glorious day today blessed with sunshine most of the day we even got the washing dry outside.
    Lovely card using my favourite colours and great technique. I have so many ideas and techniques I want to try, think I will have to lock myself in the craft room.
    Tomorrow I have a check up at the Royal Marsden, so we be out most of the day, I will try and look in at some point. Whatever you are doing I hope it will be more exciting than mine 😂 xxx
    Good night everyone, sleep well, love Brenda xxx
