The Joseph’s Coat Technique is a fun background to create using Clear embossing powder and inks. I’ve created a vibrant background with it for Day 14 of my Sketchtember Challenge. To create the background it’s ideal to have solid images such as the one from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set. First I blended Granny…
It’s day 13 of my Sketchtember Challenge where I’m celebrating my birthday month with my favourite type of challenge – sketches! My card has been inspired by this photo challenge at Just Add Ink Challenges JAI620. I loved the background on this photo and wanted to replicate the lighter look in the centre getting darker…
