This month we are playing with ink and embossing and using a technique that is often called "Joseph's Coat." It is an emboss resist technique that produces some fabulous results. 

Now on with my project.  Did you hear that?  Singular . . . Project   Meaning I only made one card this time around.  So apologies on that one, but I was away for over a week leading into this challenge. 

So this technique started with a solid white piece of paper.  To that, I stamped my monsters in color, using two colors for each monster and black for the eyes and antenna.  I then stamped a layer or two of versmark . . . and note that not being exact is a good thing, as it leaves a white background in all the right places.  I then embossed with clear embossing powder.  

From there, all those white spaces became blue background.  I added some confetti stars and a sentiment, and there it is!
