<MomCat> Brenda, on my way to Carson today, I figured out how to express the difference between layering and collage!
<brenda> how diane?
<deb> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<MomCat> Layers, =frame= the picture.
<brenda> ok
<MomCat> Collage elements are =part= of the picture.
<brenda> right
<brenda> good way to put it
<Scout> How was carson, MomCat? Was the building construction in the way?
<brenda> i am telling my secret to how to learn collage tonight
<MomCat> Great, Brenda!
<brenda> it is simple
<MomCat> Scout, it's great! and still on tomorrow.
<brenda> cause i always do simple
<louann> we like simple
<MomCat> I didn't notice any building construction.
<Scout> Yah, I know, but my pocket is still recovering from last weeks spending.
<MomCat> lol
<brenda> lol scout me too
<cak> (for which I am always grateful--brenda's simple is always enlightening)
<brenda> ty cak
<LiBsTeR> hey cak! :-)
<MomCat> Brenda is the first one to make Joseph's coat look like something I want to do.
<brenda> i just try to make it where people can do anything i teach without getting frustrated
<brenda> ty diane
<MomCat> YW
<brenda> you are all swelling my head again
<brenda> OK ARE WE READY?
paperpusher sneaks over in the corner
<Carole> yes
<GailWink> What are we doing???
<LiBsTeR> libster sneaks over to the corner with paperpusher
<cak> I am!
<brenda> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<brenda> FIRST I AM GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT COLLAGING
<brenda> I DID SAMPLES OVER AND OVER FOR PROBABLY A MONTH
<brenda> EVERYTIME I WOULD SHOW THEM
<brenda> I WOULD ASK ARE THESE COLLAGE?
<brenda> AND THEY WOULD SAY NO
<brenda> I GOT VERY FRUSTRATED
<brenda> SO I SAT AND JOINED A TAG SWAP
<brenda> I GUESS TO INCREASE MY FRUSTRATION OR BECAUSE OF TEMP INSANITY
<brenda> BUT ANYHOW
<LiBsTeR> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html class url
<brenda> I WAS LOOKING AT THIS TAH
<brenda> TAG
<brenda> AND IT JUST POPPED INTO MY HEAD
<brenda> THAT WHEN YOUR IMAGES ARE TOO BIG TO FIT
<brenda> YOU HAVE TO TURN THEM
<brenda> YOU CANNOT LAYER THEM
<brenda> SO I TRIED IT WITH SEVERAL TAGS
<brenda> AND IT WORKED WITH THEM
<brenda> BUT WOULD IT WORK WITH A CARD
<LiBsTeR> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html class url
<brenda> SO I GOT BIG IMAGES
<brenda> COLORED THEM
<brenda> CUT THEM OUT
<brenda> PILED THEM ON THE CARD
<brenda> ARRANGED
<brenda> MOVED
<brenda> SWITCHED
<LiBsTeR> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html class url
<brenda> JUST KEPT PLACING TILL IT KIND OF FLOWED INTO EACH OTHER
<brenda> GUESS WHAT
<brenda> COLLAGE
<brenda> EASY
<LiBsTeR> yeahhhhh!!!!!
<brenda> BEFORE I WAS USING TOO SMALL OF IMAGES
<brenda> YOU CAN USE SMALL BUT FOR COLLAGE YOU DO NEED SOME SIZE ALSO
<brenda> AND STRART WITH TOO MUCH
<brenda> THEN TAKE HALF OFF
<brenda> LOOK AT IT
<brenda> THEN REMOVE SOME MORE
<brenda> THAT SOUNDS CRAZY
<brenda> BUT IT WORKED
<brenda> I SWEAR
<LiBsTeR> LOL makes sense to me
<brenda> OK FIRST CARD ON THAT PAGE
<brenda> WAS DONE WITH MOSTLY RADIENT PEARLS
<brenda> THEN I HIGHLIGHTED THE ANGELS WINGS WITH A LITTLE READY TEX GOLD WATERED DOWN
<brenda> THE REASON BEING IT KIND OF JUST ADDED A LITTLE MORE OOMPH
<Sher> Is there a sample url page please
<brenda> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<deb> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<brenda> TY DEB
<brenda> THE SECOND CARD
<Sher> ty
<brenda> THE ANGELS AND FLOWERS WERE RADIENT PEARLS
<brenda> BUT THE FRAME I DID RUBONS WITH A STENCIL BRUSH
<brenda> THE WORD ARE I DID ALSO WITH RUBONS
<brenda> ARE=ART
<RubberRabb> sorry I'm late!
<brenda> THE NEXT THREE CARDS
<RubberRabb> what have I missed so far?
<LiBsTeR> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<deb> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<brenda> I DID THE JOSEPHS COAT
<RubberRabb> thanks
<brenda> NOT MUCH RR
<RubberRabb> ooh I love joseph's coat
<brenda> JOSEPHS COAT IS JUST SCRIBBLE WITH FAT MARVIES
<brenda> THEN STAMP WITH CLEAR EMBOSSING INK AND EMBOSS WITH CLEAR EP
<brenda> THEN RUB BLACK INK OVER THE DESIGN
<brenda> THEN WIPE IT OFF THE EP IMAGE LINE
<paperpushe> Rabbit!
<brenda> THE COLORS DONT REALLY MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE EITHER
<deb> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<paperpushe> Hey Kriz!
<brenda> IT ALWAYS LOOKS AWFUL WHILE WORKING ON IT
<Kriztina> hi peeps
<brenda> I CALL IT THE UGLY CARD
<RubberRabb> Hey Kriz!
<brenda> THEN IT IS TRANSFORMED
<Glenda> hi kriz
<RubberRabb> and very scary, too-putting all the black over it
<brenda> YES IT IS RR
<Sher> what type of black ink do you use?
<brenda> YOU THINK THIS IS GOING TO MESS IT UP
<brenda> RANGER ARCHIVAL BLACK
<brenda> CAN USE MEMORIES
<brenda> TIP
<Sher> what sort of paper did you color on with the marvys?
<brenda> MAKE SURE TO STAMP AND EMBOSS BEFORE PUTTING BLACK INK ON IT
<brenda> JUST MATTE CARD STOCK
<brenda> LIGHT COLOR
<Sher> very pretty
<brenda> TY
<brenda> OK THE NEXT THREE CARDS WERE SO FAST AND EASY
<brenda> THAT I STARTED NOT TO INCLUDE THEM
<brenda> BUT THEY WERE INTERESTING
<brenda> SO I DID
<deb> the next 2 sets are my faves <G>
<brenda> I TOOK THE MARVY MARKERS AND COLORED DIRECTLY ON THE STAMP
<brenda> THE COLORS WHERE I WANTED THEM
<brenda> THEN TOOK A SPRITZ BOTTLE WITH ALCOHOL AND WATER MIXED IN IT
<brenda> HALF AND HALF
<brenda> AND SPRITZED THE STAMP ABOUT 2 TO 3 TIMES
<brenda> THEN STAMPED
<brenda> THAT IS IT
<brenda> EASY
<kat> any special paper brenda
<Glenda> here's a dumb questions...marvy markers as in watercolor markers? how do you emboss?
<brenda> I JUST USED DARK MATTE CARDSTOCK
Glenda is a newbie
<brenda> I DONT USE MUCH GLOSSY
<brenda> I DIDNT EMBOSS ON THESE GLENDA
<Glenda> okay
<brenda> WATER COLOR MARKERS
<brenda> CRAYOLA MARKERS WILL ALSO WORK
<brenda> AS LONG AS THEY ARE JUICY
<deb> any kind of water based markers
<deb> don't use tria
<brenda> YEP
<deb> or studio markers
<brenda> RIGHT
<Glenda> sounds easy
<brenda> OK I SAID DARK CARDSTOCKL
<brenda> BUT THAT WAS A BEIGE CARDSTOCK
<brenda> MATTE
<kat> looks like water color
<brenda> IT IS WATERCOLOR
<deb> right
<deb> and you do it right on the stamp
<brenda> YEP
<brenda> QUICK AND EASY
<Glenda> these are the ones on the dark paper?
<deb> no
<deb> these are the next ones down
<Glenda> the ones below that?
<deb> the pastel flowers
<Glenda> okay....i see
<brenda> GG DESIGNS BOLD STAMPS ARE PERFECT FOR THIS TECHNIQUE
<brenda> NO GLENDA
<brenda> I JUMPED AHEAD
<brenda> SORRY
<Glenda> no problem...i got here late
Glenda now goes to the corner to shut up and listen
<brenda> NO ASK SO YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
<brenda> I AM FIGHTING A MIGRAINE SO MAY NOT BE MAKING MUCH SENSE
<kat> only dumb question is the one you didn't ask glenda
<kat> lol
<Glenda> those stamps are large stamps right?
<brenda> WHEN YOU LEAVE MY CLASS I WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS
<Glenda> lol kat
<brenda> YES GLENDA
<Glenda> i'll ask plenty of those
<brenda> VERY LARGE AND BOLD
<brenda> PERFECT FOR THIS
<brenda> AND NOT A LOT OF DETAIL
<Glenda> really interesting looking
<brenda> TY
<brenda> THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO INCLUDE THEM
<brenda> DIFFERENT
<brenda> OK LAST ROW
<brenda> THE TWO CARDS ON THE ENDS
<brenda> NOT THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE
<brenda> DARK MATTE CARDSTOCK
<brenda> AND VERSAMARK INK PAD
<brenda> STAMP YOUR IMAGE WITH VERSAMARK
<brenda> THEN TAKE POWDERED PEARLS,FAIRY DUST OR PEARL EX
<brenda> AND JUST BRUSH IT OVER THE DESIGN
<deb> (versamark pad is clear ink)
<brenda> ADD SEVERAL COLORS
<brenda> YES DEB
<brenda> TTHEN AFTER YOU HAVE COLORED THESE
<brenda> JUST TAKE A TISSUE AND RUB THE EXCESS POWDER OFF
<brenda> VERY QUICK AND ELEGANT CARD
<Glenda> that's too easy to be that beautiful
<brenda> PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU SPENT HOURS ON THESE
<Glenda> lol...even i can do this
<brenda> YES
<brenda> THAT IS MY WAY GLENDA
<brenda> EASY BASIC SIMPLE
<brenda> NOW THE ;LAST CARD
<brenda> I DONT LIKE THIS CARD
<brenda> BUT SOMEONE ELSE DID
<brenda> SO IT IS HERE
<brenda> I PAINTED RADIENT PEARLS ON THE STAMP THEN STAMPED IT
<brenda> THAT IS IT
<brenda> NOW IS THAT SIMPLE ENOUGH?
<Glenda> absolutely
<louann> did you clear emboss it?
<Glenda> can you go over the grid looking cards..the black ones..i must've missed that part
<brenda> THE LAST CARD LOUANN?
<Glenda> how are they done?
<brenda> YES GLENDA
<deb> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<brenda> LOUANN THE LAST CARD IS NOT EMBOSSED
<louann> yes, the RP painted on the stamp card
<RubberRabb> Enchy!!
<LiBsTeR> {{{{{{{{ ency!! }}}}}}}}}}}
<brenda> GLENDA THESE THREE WERE ALL DONE WITH JOSEPH COAT
<louann> ty Brenda
<brenda> LOUANN THE STAMP IS PAINTED THEN JUST STAMPED ON THE CARD
<Glenda> is that a special ink brenda?
<brenda> JOSEPH COAT IS WHERE YOU TAKE MARVY MARKERS AND SCRIBBLE
<brenda> NO
<Glenda> oh..okay
<brenda> JUST SCRIBBLE ALL OVER
<Glenda> scribble onto the cardstock?
<brenda> LOOKS HORRIBLE
<brenda> YES
<brenda> NOW TAKE A BIG BOLD IMAGE
<brenda> OR SEVERAL SMALL LIKE THE GRID ONE
<brenda> AND CLEAR EMBOSSING INK
<brenda> AND STAMP
<brenda> THEN CEAR EMBOSSING POWDER
<brenda> HEAT
<brenda> THEN TAKE RANGER BLACK ARCHIVAL INK
<brenda> WIPE THAT BLACK INK ALL OVER THE CARDSTOCK
<brenda> YUCKY
<brenda> THEN TAKE TISSUE AND WIPE THE INK OFF THE EMBOSSED IMAGE
<brenda> IT HAS TURNED GORGEOUS
<brenda> DRAMATIC
<Glenda> okay...i have done that with pigment ink over embossed and then wipe off
<brenda> YOU REALLY NEED BOLD DESIGNS FOR THIS
<Glenda> then emboss whole card with clear
<brenda> YOU CAN DO THAT TOO
<Glenda> this seems easier
<brenda> I JUST PREFER IT THIS WAY
<brenda> IT IS DIFFERENT LOOK GLENDA
<Glenda> very nice
<brenda> TY
<brenda> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS???????
<LiBsTeR> can you explain a rub on?
<LiBsTeR> And using a stencil brush with it?
<brenda> RUBONS ARE IN A PALLETTE
<brenda> ABOUT 7 COLORS IN THE LITTLE PLASTIC TRAY
<brenda> COST ABOUT 4 DOLLARS I THINK
<LiBsTeR> are they chalk, or paint??
<LiBsTeR> OH!!!
<brenda> I USE A CHEAP CHILDS STENCIL BRUSH
<LiBsTeR> I remember seeing them- they are metallic, right?
<brenda> THAT I CUT THE BRISTLES ON TO MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER TO CONTROL THE PLACEMENT OF COLOR
<brenda> SOME ARE LUSTERS
<LiBsTeR> aha, ok!!!
<brenda> SOME ARE METALLIC
<LiBsTeR> what did you use?
<brenda> I JUST USED THE CHILDS STENCIL BRUSH
<brenda> RUB AROUND
<LiBsTeR> I mean, luster or metallic
<brenda> JUST A TINY BIT OF COLOR
<brenda> BOTH
<LiBsTeR> OK
<brenda> I USED SEVERAL COLORS
<brenda> I DIDNT STAY IN THE LINES EITHER
<LiBsTeR> lol
<brenda> I AM VERY STRICT
<brenda> THIS WAS PROBABLY THE HARDEST I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH TECH
<brenda> CAUSE I STAY IN LINES
<brenda> I FRAME EVERYTHING
<brenda> SO I GOT COLLAGE
<brenda> AND WENT OUT OF THE LINES TOO
<cak> Another skill!
<brenda> YES
<brenda> LOL
<brenda> BUT WHEN I PLAYED WITH TAGS IT MADE IT EASY THEN
<brenda> I ANALYZE TOO MUCH I THINK
<brenda> HEY RED
<LiBsTeR> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html class url
<brenda> ANYMOER QUESTIONS

<LiBsTeR> libster thinks maybe deb saw through that one........
<Glenda> brenda, i wonder how different color archival ink would look? something besides black?
<brenda> I TRIED A PURPLE ONCE GLENDA
<deb> Glenda I've tried other colors
<deb> they work too
<brenda> AND IT GIVES A VERY DIFFERENT LOOK
Glenda is definitely trying these
<brenda> BUT BEWARE I HAD SOME THAT TURNED OUT AWFUL
MomCat looks off into the wings and sees Anaconda eying Libster and the trout.
<brenda> AND SUSPECT IT WAS CAUSE OF THE COLOR CLASH
<brenda> BUT I CANT TELL FOR SURE
<Glenda> yeah, i'm sure you have to be careful what you mix
<deb> my blue ons was awesome

<brenda> LOL
paperpusher hides lib with her copious self
Redstick sneaks up behind Wabbit and tugs on her little bunny tail
<brenda> ANY MORE QUESTIONS?
<Redstick> YES!
<cak> Do you not get opaque coverage when you cover with the black ink?
<brenda> CAK WHEN YOU USE THE BLACK IT ALMOST COVERS COMPLETELY
<brenda> BUT THEN YOU ARE WIPING THE INK OFF THE EMBOSSED PART
<brenda> SO THE DESIGNS SHOWS THRU
<brenda> CAK DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
<Scout> Those are the black/pink ones in the 3rd row, right?
<cak> Okey doke--the scans show some swipes of color and wasn't sure if it was the scan or the way the process turned out
<cak> Thank you brenda--lots of good stuff as usual
