Joseph’s Coat Technique

1. Blend Colors:

   • On the 3.5" × 4.75" Basic White piece, blend Cajun Craze, Old Olive, and Crushed Curry until the whole surface is covered.

2. Prepare for Embossing:

   • Use your embossing buddy over the blended piece to remove static and make sure the ink is set.

3. Stamp & Emboss:

   • Stamp the line images from Artistic Leaves in VersaMark ink.

   • Cover with clear embossing powder, tap off excess, and heat set.

4. Overlay Color:

   • Swipe the Secret Sea ink pad directly across the embossed panel, covering the entire background.

   • The embossed leaf images will resist the ink, allowing the blended colors to shine through.

Assembly

1. Layer Secret Sea → Old Olive → Joseph’s Coat panel.
