I recently shard a tutorial to my e-newsletter subscribers on the Joseph's Coat Technique. This resist technique provides a beautiful array of emerging colors that's fun – and a bit messy – but oh, so worth it!
If you're not part of my e-newsletter, click on the image below and sign up. It's free! A new tutorial is sent out each week.
Believe it or not, the technique uses numerous ink pads and sponges to apply various colors of ink randomly on white cardstock.
After the color is applied, your desired images are stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder.
The magic is in the top layer of ink. Would you guess it's Early Espresso ink?
As I mentioned, it can be a bit messy so consider using disposable gloves.
Give the technique a try! I guarantee once you do, you'll be hooked. Heck, while you're making one, go ahead and make a bunch with different images. It's addictive – and fun!
You can view the tutorial, with a different stamp set, for this technique by clicking HERE.
I've added 3 new Project PDF Tutorials to the library! Click on the images below.

Beautiful card, Lisa. Interesting technique I’ll have to try. Have a terrific Tuesday!
The first card is beautiful and I would like to try making it. However, am I missing something, because when I click on HERE for the technique, the dragon fly instruction come up. Are they the same? Thanks for sharing.

Hi Linda! I’m glad you like the card. Yes, the dragonfly instructions are the same technique, just a different card. I’ve listed the colors I used for the jelly fish here on this post. The formula for this technique is the same regardless of the stamp and base colors you use. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!
Good morning, HJ! Thank you for the kind words. This was so much fun to make. Once you get started you’ll be making lots of them. It’s kind of addicting! 😀 Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment for me. It’s always great to hear from you!
