Joseph's Coat for Autumn

Let me start off by saying that I got the idea for this card from someone's blog. I have no idea whose it was. If it was you, please e-mail me so I can give you credit.
I've done the Joseph's Coat technique before, but I didn't really like it because you use black as the top color. When I saw a card using brown instead, I decided to give it another try!

Start by applying multiple colors of ink to glossy cardstock. Here, I've used the Pumpkin Patch Spectrum pad and a brayer. Next, stamp your images with Versamark.

Apply clear embossing powder. (You can see what that looks like in this photo.) Heat just until melted. Don't overheat or it will vanish!

This photo shows what you'll see after the EP is melted. Next, brayer over the entire piece with a dark color. In this example, I used Basic Brown. Allow the ink some time to dry, and then buff the embossed images with a paper towel to remove excess ink.

This is the finished piece.

I really love how this turned out, although I'm not totally happy with the card. It looked better in my head!
