Just Joseph's Coat Alphatag

After messing around with a number of ideas for my Baroque Guild "J" Alphatag I suddenly remembered the Joseph's Coat Technique & decided to see what I could do with that. I've had some odd pieces of brayered cardstock lying around (over a year I think!) so I used a piece of it for the flower. The image was heat embossed onto the brayered cardstock with clear embossing powder, covered in black dye ink, allowed to dry & then buffed with a kitchen towel before being cut out.

  12. Hi Paula, What a fabulous tag this is and someone in the swap is going to be mightily pleased (understatement there). The colours are stunning and as you say very springlike so perfect for our Snazzy DT Blog challenge so thank you for entering.

    Erm, Joseph's Coat is the technique I'm going to use for my J tag mainly because I'm stumped for another J subject. The only other one that keeps popping into my head is Jubilee and I don't have any suitable stamps. I have to say I would never have thought of using it the brilliant way you have. Excellent work my friend.
