Today we are proud to bring you our final  release for the month of June. Sunday is Fathers Day and to pay tribute to our dads we have a great stamp set for you. I lost my dad almost 2 years ago and miss him every single day. 

Last week my husband told me that last Sunday was Father's Day so the kids and I took him bowling and out for dinner. Then later that night I was commenting on our day on Facebook only to find out that last Sunday was not Father's Day. What a little sneak.

Joseph's Coat Tutorial

This is a new technique for me and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but was really surprised. A little heads up this is the challenge for our Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge this Saturday.

Joseph’s Coat

By: Debbie Moran

Materials Needed:

White glossy Cardstock

Black Dye Ink

Brayer

Heat Tool

Clear Embossing Powder

Embossing buddy

Stamp Set

Versa Mark Ink Pad

Caleidacolor Ink Pad

Cardstock to complete card (not pictured)

Embellishments (not pictured)

Step One:

Take your White glossy cardstock cut to size of your choice. Take your brayer and your Kaleidacolor ink pad and cover your glossy cardstock. (note: if you do not have a brayer or a Kaleidacolor ink pad you can use several different ink pads and sponges and then mask your colors) Be sure to let the ink dry before you continue with the card.  Then clean your brayer for the next step.

Step Two:

Once your glossy cardstock is dry take your embossing buddy and rub all over your cardstock. If you do not have a embossing buddy you can make one yourself. (take an old nylon and cut to size be sure to keep the toe. Add either baby powder or flour and some rice to the bag and seal it up by either sewing it or a rubber band make sure that it will not open and leak.) I am using a resin bag that I used for bowling.

Step Three:

Take your versamark pad and your images and stamp your images all over the colored glossy cardstock.

Step Four:

Pour your clear embossing powder over your images and tap off the excess powder. Then heat set the images. Let Cool before moving forward

Step Five:

Take your brayer again and your black ink and cover the glossy cardstock completely. Then wipe off the excess ink off from the images so they really stand out.

Step Six:

Finish your card to your liking
