Season to Believe - Joseph's coat technique

Hello everyone!
The last challenge for this month begins today on 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.
It's a technique challenge called Joseph's coat and you have almost two weeks to try this fabulous technique!
Here is a very good tutorial on how to use this technique to create a gorgeous multi-colored background.

For my part, I only used red, beige and black because I didn't want too many colors. 

I sponged two thirds of a white panel with Real Red and the upper third with Sahara Sand (both Stampin'Up). I added some black spots and lines to the red part. I then heat-embossed the whole panel with the Merry Medley background stamp from Stampin'Up, using Versamark and clear embossing powder. After that I sponged the lower, red/black part completely with Onyx Black (Versafine). I removed the excess ink with a dry paper towel - the embossed design on the first colour came out well again. 

I kept the upper part as it was and added a ribbon to the intermediate line. I glued the finished panel onto a slightly larger piece of gold glitter cardstock and then onto the white card. 

I stamped the Season to Believe part with black ink on red cardstock, trimmed it to size, backed it with gold glitter cardstock and stuck it to the card with foam pads.

I love the result - hope you like it too!

Have fun with our new challenge - remenber, this time you have a fortnight to play with us!
