<brenda> TY JEN
<deb> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<brenda> THE FIRST TWO CARDS
<deb> I think this is the stamp I ordered brenda
<LRB> seems like just the other night I won the 5.00 gift certif. well the two dies i chose arrived today. I was impressd
<deb> after I saw your cards > )
<LRB> mostly with the quality of the rubber
<brenda> YEP DEB I REMEMBER THAT
<brenda> THEY ARE GOOD QUALITY STAMPS
<deb> very deeply etched
<brenda> THE RUBBER HAS DEEP IMPRESSIONS
<brenda> THE FIRST TWO CARDS
<Char> WOW Brenda....I just checked out your cards! Boy, do you make ggd look good!
<brenda> ARE HJUST DONT WITH A CHEAP LITTLE OFF WHITE ALMOST GREYISH TYPE PAPER THAT I WAS TRYING OUT CAUSE I WANTED A CERTAIN LOOK
<brenda> TY CHARLOTTE
<Char> Hi
<brenda> I WANTED AN AGED LOOK BUT NOT ANTIQUED LOOK
<brenda> IF THAT MAKES SENSE
<brenda> I USED THE FRAME STAMP
<brenda> WITH JUST PERMANENT DYE INK
<brenda> AND THEN I USED RUBONS TO COLOR IT
<brenda> THEN CUT AND LAYERED IT WITH THE ANGELS THAT I HAD PAINTED WITH RADIENT PEARLS
<brenda> THIS WAY I HAD THE AGED LOOK BUT A SOF SHINEY LOOK TOO
<brenda> I LIKE OOMPH
<brenda> AND SOMETIMES I LIKE TOO MUCH
<brenda> SO TONING DOWN IS HARD FOR ME
<deb> lol
<brenda> AND ALSO I AM PARTIALLY COLOR BLIND SO SOMETIMES I CANT TELL SHADES
<cak> One of my photo profs used to say "you don't know where the edge of the envelope is until you go past it"
<brenda> AND THAT IS WHAT I AM DISCOVERING CAK
<brenda> I AM EXPERIMENTING MOE WITH COLOR NOW THAN I USED TO
<brenda> DIANES CLASSES HAVE HE;LPED A LOT
<brenda> IT DOESNT HURT TO MAKE MISTAKES
<cak> nope, not a bit
<brenda> IN FACT SOMETIMES IT CAN EVEN BE YOUR BIGGEST SUCCESSES
<kaye> mistakes teach more than sucess
<brenda> YEP
<deb> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<Char> Mistakes? There are none. Just "New Directions!"
<brenda> SOMETHING ELSE IS I AM TRICKING MYSELF
<brenda> RIGHT CHARLOTTE
<brenda> I HAVE STARTED LOOKING AND SAYING IF THIS WASNT MINE WHAT WOULD I LIKE ABOUT IT
<brenda> DISLIKE ABOUT IT
<brenda> AND BEING HONEST WITH MYSELF
<brenda> I AM NOT AN ARTIST
<brenda> BUT I SURE LOVE TO PLAY
<brenda> LOL
<cak> ooo, taking yourself and your intentions--good thinking
<brenda> OK THE FLOWERS WERE COLORED WITH RADIENT PEARLS AND JUST CUT OUT
<cak> (uh, taking them out of the equation that is)
<deb> how did you make these cards
<brenda> THEN JUST ARRANGED ON THE CARD
<brenda> I JUST CUT EVERYTHING OUT THEN LAYERED THEM IN A WAY THAT I LIKED THEN STUCK THAT FEATHER IN THERE AND GLUED THEM ALL DOWN
<brenda> OK THE NEXT 3 CARDS ARE ALL JOSEPHS COAT
<brenda> AND I CALL THEM SOMETHING ELSE WHEN I AM ALONE
<brenda> CAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS UGLY WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON THEM
<brenda> THEN THEY JUST TURN PRETTY
<LRB> Thanks
<brenda> BUT USE ANY TYPE OF LIGHT COLORED MATTE CARDSTOCK
<LRB> I was foolin with the buttons again
<brenda> AND RANDOMLY WITH MARVY MARKERS
<brenda> FILL IT UP
<brenda> THEN TAKE AND STAMP A BOLD DESIGN
<brenda> AS YOU CAN SEE
[yes, I got dropped again. I'll try to get the rest later]
<brenda> I THEN TOOK SOME AND CUT IT UP AND LAYERED IT
<brenda> LIKE SERENDIPITY TYPE DESIGNS
<brenda> FOR THE YELLOW
<brenda> AND FOR THE OTHER I JUST CUT AND LAYERED IT ON A DARK CARDSTOCK
<AuntyAnt> clever!!!
<brenda> THERE IS SO MANY OPTIONS FOR DESIGNS FOR THIS
<brenda> JOSEPHS COAT IS DIFFERENT EVERYTIME YOU DO IT
<brenda> I CAN NEVER MAKE TWO THE SAME
<brenda> NEXT 3 CARDS ARE WHAT I CALL QUICKIE CARDS
<brenda> I COLORED WITH MARKERS N THE STAMPS
<deb> i love these
<brenda> THEN SPRITZED WITH ALCOHOL
<deb> and the next 3
<brenda> THEN STAMPED
<brenda> THAT IS ALL
<brenda> VERY QUICK AND VERY EASY
<deb> gorgeous
<deb> very elegant
<brenda> TY DEB
<AuntyAnt> did you spritze the rubber or the card stock?
<brenda> THEY DO LOOKELEGANT
<brenda> THE RUBBER
VickiNola loves instant gratification
<deb> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/options.html
<deb> me too lol
<brenda> THE ALCOHOL MAKES THE DESIGN MORE SPOTTED INSTEAD OF A BLEEDING TYPE LIKE WITH WATERCOLORS
<brenda> I THOUGHT IT WAS DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE LOOKING
<VickiNola> what kind of alcohol?
<brenda> REGULAR ALCOHOL
<AuntyAnt> would methalyted spritis do or do you have to have pure alcohol?
<brenda> THE 2 FOR A DOLLAR AT DOLLAR GENERAL
<brenda> I JUST USED CHEAPEST I COULD FIND
<Char> I'm of the "Slap 'n Stamp" school myself, so I appreciate SIMPLE!
<LRB> rubbing alcohol
<brenda> I DONT KNOW AUNTY
<brenda> TRY IT AND LET US KNOW
<AuntyAnt> isochol, not methalyted!
<brenda> I LOVE SIMPLE AND BASIC
<brenda> LOTS OF PEOPLE GET DISCOURAGED BECAUSE TECHNIQUES ARE SO HARD AND EXACT
<AuntyAnt> just love your ideas, thank you so much.
<brenda> SO I TRY TO STICK WITH EASY AND DRAMATIC EFFECTS
<brenda> YW
<brenda> OK LAST THREE ARE JENS FAVORITE AND DEBS
<brenda> THEY ARE THE QUICKEST ELEGANT CARD I KNOW OF
<Char> One of the things that drew me to stamping was that it made art so accessible to everyone. Then the stamping techniques started getting soooo complicated! I like "back to basics."
<brenda> EVERYONE THINKS YOU SPENT HOURS ON THEM
<brenda> BUT IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES
<brenda> ME TOO CHARLOTTE
<brenda> I USED THE VERSAMARK INK BECAUSE I LIKE THE WAY IT GRABS THE INK ON THE STAMP
<brenda> STAMP YOUR IMAGE
<brenda> NEEDS TO BE BOLD AND AGAIN I LOVE THE PANSY FOR THIS
<brenda> THEN TAKE ANY PODERED MICA
<brenda> AND BRUSH IT ON THE IMAGE
<brenda> THEN SOME SAY TO WAIT TO RUB THE EXCESS POWDER OFF
<brenda> I DONT WAIT I LIKE INSTANT
<brenda> TY
<brenda> TAKE PAPER TOWEL AND JUST RUBBOFF THE EXCESS
<LindaR> you mean like pearl ex?
<brenda> YOUR IMAGE WILL NOT SMEAR ON MATTE CARDSTOCK
<brenda> IT LEAVES JUST A HINT OF COLOR AND SHINE
<brenda> I LOVE SHINE
<brenda> YES PEARL EX WILL WORK
<jenmist> this is the funnest technique!
<jenmist> great results very quickly
<brenda> JEN MADE LOTS OF CARDS AFTER SHE LEARNED THIS ONE
<LindaR> do you need to set it with fixative?
<brenda> I DONT LINDA
<LindaR> greaat, one less step
<brenda> BUT SOME WANT IT TO LAST FOREVER SO THEY DO
<jenmist> I went a little nuts at first
<LindaR> but it doesn't rub off too easily?
<brenda> I STILL HAVE THESE SAMPLES AND THE POWDER IS STILL ON THEM
<jenmist> I have tried many different stamps and also on ivory CS
<LindaR> kewl!
<brenda> NOT IN MY OPINION IT DOESNT NOT OFF THE INK
<brenda> I LIKE THE DARKER COLORS CARDSTOCK
<brenda> BUT LIGHT COLOR CARDSTOCK CAN BE DRAMATIC ALSO
<jenmist> color choice is trickier on the lighter CS but still interesting
<brenda> YES IT IS
<brenda> OK THAT WASNT LAST 3 CARDS THAT WAS THE TWO CARDS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOTTOM ROW
<brenda> THE CENTER BOTTOM ROW
<brenda> IS DIFFERENT
<brenda> IT IS A STANGE ONE
<brenda> I WENT NUTS
<brenda> AND LIKED IT
<brenda> ROFLOL
<cak> lol
<brenda> I PAINTED RADIENT PERALS ON THE STAMP AND STAMPED IT
<brenda> DIDNT LIKE IT TO START
<brenda> THEN AFTER A DAY
<brenda> I LIKED IT
<brenda> ANY QUESTIONS????????????????
<YerPal> I guess QUESTIONS is not silly unless you don't ask it.
<Froolap> how can I see the cards she is talking about?
<brenda> TY YERPAL
<Janet> so true, YerPal
