Gotta Love Orchid Opulence HUH? This  card is actually a oldie but a newbie technique I learned  from Karen G ( Hi Karen )  This oldie  technique is called Joseph coat  New technique  cause instead of applying ink from ink pads  with dauber I used  SU! Markers .. Using  Glossy Cardstock  take  2-3 coordinating colors  and just scribble  all over your glossy cardstock.. leaving  very little white showing  once your done scribbling  run your embossing buddy over top of the  glossy  with Marker scribble . Then  take a solid image stamp and  ink it up with versa mark  and stamp over top of the marker scribble  In  my example I used the  large flower from "Think Big" set once you get your images stamp the way you want   apply clear embossing over top of your images   and tap off any extra back into the  embossing  jar .. Then heat set  with  your heat gun. For the next step I did find it  easier to take my brayer ( rubber attachment or foam attachment ) and run  your brayer over Black ink pad  and  apply the brayer and run across your glossy CS  back and forth adding more ink  until you get the coverage you want .. ( Note : you should only be able  to see the images that were clear embossed ) You can also use  your black marker if you don’t have a brayer  for this technique it works great  also .  just scribble the black marker all over your piece of glossy  instead of your brayer . Once you have  applied the black ink  in either  fashion and the black ink has dried ,  take a tissue and buff your glossy cs . The  embossed images  will pop out at you  with your  scribbles of your 3 coordinating colors  underneath. How cool is that ? Dawns side note ..Black  ink will stain your  rubber brayer  attachment Which because of this  it is always  a good reason to have 2 rubber attachments one set aside just for your  black ink  projects and one for all your other  ink choices . for my color choices  with my   marker scribble I used  orchid  opulence , Lovely Lilac, and going  Gray .. I used the "Happy"  stamp  from  Polka dots and paisley  set ( coming out on March 1st )  and the  circle "Day "stamp is from Think Big set I used both  the 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 circle punch for the  "Day" and popped it up on a dimensional . I really love this  oldie but newbie  technique . doesn’t  this project look cute with my  purple blog back ground ? Love Love them purples. Well tonight I am  going to be stamping again with some more friends Check it out HERE! Great time last night . Wait until you see  an upcoming project I am  going to start  I have High hope this may be the ONE .. Of course until  the ink hits the paper I have high hopes. My mom is doing much better  so what ever she did have  it lasts only 24 hours Thank God .This Stomach flu is the worst..
