Joseph's Coat flower

Here is number three for the summer challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms. This challenge had to involve some sort of resist technique, this is Joseph's Coat, a sort of emboss resist. The purple paper in the background does really match one of the purple tones in the flower, I just cannot get it right in the photo. 

Directions are pretty simple. Take a piece of glossy cardstock, use a brayer and a kaleidacolor pad and makes some bands of color. Let it dry. Swipe it with that little bag that reminds me of the bags bowlers use on their hands . . . anti static or something.  Then stamp your image with versamark and emboss with clear EP. Rub over the page with either a black craft ink (which I used) or you can use Brilliance black. 

Let it dry for a good hour, then pat the black ink off of your embossed image. This was the tricky part. I think next time I try this I might use regular cardstock because the glossy paper resists the black ink too, and it is easy to rub off too much.  Thanks for looking! Hope you had a good weekend!

Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farms grunge flower, Clear Dollar Stamps Christian sympathy (sentiment)
Ink: Kaleidacolor Berry Blaze, Silver craft, black craft
Paper: SU black, PTI Raspberry Fizz, silver, Bazill purple, glossy
Other: Martha Stewart edge punch, butterfly punch, silver cord, silver EP, brayer, tissue

ooooo - I love this...it reminds me of the black paint over crayon technique that we did when I was in elementary. We color a whole bunch of colors on a sheet of paper, paint over it with black paint, let it dry, and then carve out a design - the color would show through but everything else would be black.

Neat o...is this what psychedelic drugs do to your mind? I hope you know I am just teasing with you, I know you're not taking any.
Very pretty, Peggysue, and I think it is the "embossing buddy?"
