Hi Everyone! Welcome back to another Oldies Technique. I hope you are having a good day. A lot of you might remember Joseph's Coat, but instead of sponging my backgrounds I have used patterned paper instead. I used Spellbinders Big Scallop Circle die to "cut" out the bird. The leaves are svgs.
Here are the supplies you will need:
patterned paper
background stamp
clear embossing powder
heat tool
black ink -- I used Memento Tuxedo Black
Versa Mark ink
paper towel
Ink up your stamp with Versa Mark ink and stamp onto the patterned paper.
Add clear embossing powder.
This is what it will look like before heating it.
Use the heat tool to heat set the embossing powder. Now take your black ink pad and rub it all over the patterned paper to cover it very well.
Take the paper towel and start wiping off any excess ink that is on the embossed areas.
This is what it looks like when you are finished. The embossing powder acts as a resist to the black ink.
Here are two more samples I made using burgundy and blue inks. You do not have to use black. I also used sparkle clear embossing powder on these; although the sparkle is hard to see.
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you have been inspired by a new twist on an old technique. Have a wonderful day!

Wow! Another wonderful technique! I think I like the ones with other color inks instead of the black best, but that is just my personal opinion. Thank you for sharing this technique and the directions.
