Dare 2B Artzy Day

It's Dare 2B Artzy day here on my blog [and over on the D2BA blog too].  Today I have a tutorial using the Joseph Coat Technique. 

Here is the finished card:

I used Be the Change stamp set, along with the Poinsettia Tangle stamp set [with matching dies].

Here is my tutorial is for the background:

Step one; gather supplies; ink colors you want, along with a glossy paper panel.

Step 2 - ink up the glossy card stock.  [No need to blend perfectly]

Step 3 - once inked, using Versamark ink, stamp the image over the panel, and emboss with clear embossing powder.

Step 4 Final Step - using black ink, sponge over the entire panel.  Take a rag, and wipe off the panel, [which will remove any ink on the embossed images]. 

Cool effect right?  So many possibilities with this technique!

Here is the final card again;

 

To finish off the card, I gold embossed the poinsettia image, and sponged with a couple of the same inks as the background. Using the smaller die, I cut out the center portion, and adhered it with dimension tape.  I added a sentiment on vellum, and my card is finished.

Try this technique, it is really fun to do!
