<deb> yes

<deb> > )

<Evo> YES

<debbie_in_> go for it

<kat> HI QUEEN

<kat> I MEANT NOW

<brenda> hey queen

<kat> BUT YOU SAID IT FOR ME

<kat> OK

Evo knew whut kat meant

<brenda> hello dorie

<Dorie> Hi

<kat> THE SPOTLIGHT TECHNIQUE IS VERY QUICK AND EASY

<brenda> impressive

<kat> GREAT FOR WHEN YOU ARE IN A PINCH FOR A CARD BUT DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME

<kat> BASICALLY, YOU ARE CHOOSING A PARTICULAR PART OF YOUR CARD AND SPOTLIGHTING IT WITH COLOR

<kat> YOUR SPOTLIGHT CAN BE ROUND, SQUARE, OVAL, RECTANGLE, HEART, STAR, WHATEVER SHAPE YOU WANT

<kat> ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR

<brenda> nope

<kat> OK, WE WILL GO ON TO THE INDIVIDUAL CARDS

<kat> THE CREATE CARD IS THE CLOSEST TO THE SPOTLIGHT CARDS THAT I HAVE SEEN SO FAR

<kat> TONITE I USED THE EVO TEMPLATES FOR ALL THE LAYERING ON THE CARDS

<kat> AND I LOVED IT

<kat> SO QUICK AND EASY

<brenda> k

<Evo> yup,,, lol

<Dorie> what is the url for the samples

<neetzl> I have to make a Bat Mitzvah card for my niece. Which letter of STUPID GIRL do you think I should spotlight?

<kat> FIRST I STAMPED THE CREATE FROM MA VINCIS'S RELIQUARY ON WHITE CARDSTOCK WITH MEMORIES BLACK

<Evo> rofl, Neetzl!

<kat> http://www.PictureTrail.com/katsstamps

<kat> ALBUM 10

<kat> I THEN STAMPED JUST THE A ON A SCRAP OF THE WHITE CARD STOCK

<kat> I CUT EACH OUT AROUND THE OUTSIDE LINE

<brenda> did you use same type cardstock or different?

<kat> SAME BRENDA

<kat> I WILL EXPLAIN

<brenda> k

<kat> I THEN USED THE DIRECT TO PAPER METHOD ON THE A USING FRESCO TUSCAN EARTH

<kat> THE SMALL A WAS COLORED WITH A BARN RED TOMBOW MARKER

<kat> AND THE CIRCLES WITH A GREEN MARKER

<kat> FROM THERE I USED EVOS TEMPLATES TO MAKE THE 2 LAYERS BEHIND THE CREATE

<kat> I THEN LAYERED EVERYTHING ATTACHING WITH XYRON ADHESIVE

<kat> THE A WAS ATTACHED WITH DOUBLE SIDED FOAM TAPE

<kat> MOST OF THE SPOTLIGHT CARDS I HAVE SEEN WOULD HAVE STOPPED THERE.

<kat> BUT I HAVE A THING FOR EMBELLISHMENTS. I DON'T FEEL A CARD IS FINISHED TILL IT HAS SOME SORT OF EMBELLISHMENT

<kat> http://www.PictureTrail.com/katsstamps

<kat> ALBUM 10

<deb> and tomorrow's a holiday and I have to work

<kat> I TRIED THE GOLD TASSEL BUT IT WAS TOO BRITE SO I ROLLED IT ACROSS THE TUSCAN EARTH FRESCO PAD

<kat> REALLY HELPED TO PULL IT IN WITH THE REST OF THE CARD

<kat> http://www.PictureTrail.com/katsstamps

<kat> ALBUM 10 RAVEN

<kat> ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR

<deb> nope

<vicki> yes

<kat> GO AHEAD VICKI

<kat> http://www.PictureTrail.com/katsstamps

<Evo> Did you just glue the tassel on?

<kat> ALBUM 10 LIB

<kat> YES

<vicki> is it just the scan, or did you put something blue on the letter?

LiBsTeR hugs her Kat

<kat> NO IT IS THE SCAN

<vicki> ok ty

<kat> AND THE WAY THE INK INTERACTED WITH THE BLACK

<kat> IN

<kat> INK

<kat> SORRY

<kat> I USED HOT GLUE TO ATTACH THE TASSEL EVO

<kat> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS

<kat> http://www.PictureTrail.com/katsstamps

<kat> ALBUM 10 YAMA

<yamamama> ty kat

<kat> NEXT CARD

<kat> YW

<kat> ONE LITTLE FISHY

<kat> I USED THE EVO TEMPLATES A LOT ON THIS ONE

<kat> http://www.PictureTrail.com/katsstamps

<kat> ALBUM 10 JANIS

<debbie_in_> do you layer the spotlighted piece flat on the card...or is it raised like with pop dots...

<kat> IT IS RAISED DEBBIE

<debbie_in_> ty

<kat> YOU CAN DO IT FLAT IF YOU PREFER

<debbie_in_> i like raised...so just wondered

<kat> FOR THE FISH I STAMPED HIM ON DARK NAVY CARDSTOCK WITH GALAXY GOLD BRILLIANCE

<kat> http://www.PictureTrail.com/katsstamps

<kat> ALBUM 10

<kat> YOU WOULD STAMP HIM TWICE

<kat> BY THE WAY THE LITTLE FISHY IS FROM gg designs

<yamamama> cool cards kat

<kat> I THEN USED EVO'S SMALLEST TEMPLATE IN THE RECTANGLES TO CUT OUT THE PART OF THE FISH THAT I WANTED TO SPOTLIGHT

<kat> THANKS YAMA

<kat> I STAMPED THE FISH ON SCRAP PAPER TO MAKE A MASK FOR THE PARTS THAT I COLORED

<kat> I LAYED THE MASK OVER THE SPOTLIGHT PART AND APPLIED VERSAMARK INK

<kat> DIRECT FROM THE PAD

<kat> I THEN USED PEARL EX INTERFERENCE GREEN, BLUE AND VIOLET OVER THE VERSAMARK

<kat> AND BRUSHED AWAY THE EXCESS

<kat> GAVE IT THE SHIMMER I WANTED THIS CARD TO HAVE

<LiBsTeR> very nice, kat

<kat> TY LIB

<cak> kat, did you seal the pe after applying?

<kat> THE LAYERING PAPER IS THE MARVY METALLIC MARKER TECHNIQUE

<kat> NO THE VERSA MARK SEEMS TO SEAL IT

<cak> great! thanks

<kat> I USED EVO'S TEMPLATES TO CUT THE LAYERS AND ONCE AGAIN LAYERED USING XYRON ADHESIVE

<kat> THE SPOTLIGHT PART IS ATTACHED WITH DOUBLE SIDED FOAM TAPE WHICH RAISES IT UP FROM THE SURFACE

<kat> AGAIN IT JUST HAD TO HAVE AN EMBELLISHMENT AND SEA SHELLS SEEMED VERY APPROPRIATE

<kat> ANY QUESTIONS

<kat> IF I AM GOING TOO FAST LET ME KNOW

<neetzl> What is the marvy metallic marker technique?

<brenda> you are doing fine

<LiBsTeR> no, I think just right, Kat

<kat> YOU USE MARVY METALLIC MARKERS AND APPLY PUDDLES ON GLOSSY CARDSTOCK

<vicki> that marvy background is beautiful, kat

<kat> LAY THE PAPER BETWEEN THE LAYERS OF AN ACETATE REPORT COVER AND SMOOSH THE INKS AROUND

<kat> IT IS A LOVELY TECHNIQUE

<kat> AND FUN TO DO

<kat> A LITTLE MESSY IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL THOUGH

<kat> SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET ANOTHER SHEET OUT BY SLIPPING IN ANOTHER SHEET AFTER THE FIRST ONE IS REMOVED

<kat> ANY QUESTIONS ON THE MARVY METALLIC MARKER TECHNIQUE

<kat> ON TO THE FLORAL OVAL CARD

<kat> AGAIN I USED THE EVO TEMPLATES TO CUT ALL LAYERS ON THIS CARD

<neetzl> TY. It's beautiful.

<kat> TY

<spinz> my favorite!

<kat> TY

<kat> I STAMPED THE FLORAL OVAL ON WHITE CARD STOCK USING

<brenda> nope

<neetzl> You have a black outline around the spotlight part. Did you also do that on the fish card?

<kat> ON THE FISH IT IS THE MARVY METALLIC PAPER AROUND THE SPOTLIGHT

<kat> ON THIS ONE IT IS NAVY

<kat> THE FLORAL OVAL IS FROM gg designs

<kat> I STAMPED IT USING OLIVE GREEN FRESCO

<kat> I JUST LOVE THE FRESCO COLORS AND LOOK

<kat> I STAMPED IT TWICE

<kat> I THEN USED THE EVO TEMPLATES TO CUT OUT THE OVAL AND THE SPOTLIGHT

<kat> THE TEMPLATES MADE IT VERY EASY BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THEM TO DECIDE WHICH PART YOU WANT TO SPOTLIGHT

<LiBsTeR> oh, cool!

<debbie_in_> yes they do...love my evo templates

<kat> I THEN USED A DOVE BLENDER AND MARKERS TO COLOR THE SPOTLIGHT

<kat> I JUST TOUCH THE TIP OF THE BLENDER ON THE MARKER TO PICK UP THE INK

<Evo> whups, sorry, y'all gotta go... Mother is on phone

<Evo> :{/

<debbie_in_> bye ellen

<kat> THANKS FOR COMING EVO AND FOR SPONSERING THE CLASS

<kat> BYE

<LiBsTeR> bye Evo!!!

<brenda> great class kat

<Evo> Have fun...!

<kat> THANKS BRENDA

<LiBsTeR> How do you decide which part to spotlight?

<kat> I THEN USED LIQUID APPLIQUE ON THE CENTER OF THE FLOWERS

<brenda> i want to try this with a thank you card

<cak> Night evo

Evo sez when 87 yr old mother calls, evo listens

<Janis> I just looked at the fish. Were all 3 parts raised with foam tape?

<Evo> nite...

<MomCat-afk> hope she is okay

<keribou> night y'all I have an early day tomorrow- thanks Kat

<MomCat-afk> bye evo

<kat> I CHOSE PARTS THAT I COULD COLOR EASILY

<Evo> good class, Kat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<kat> THANKS HEATHER

<spinz> lotsa good ideas kat

<kat> THANKS EVO

<Evo> nite...

<kat> THEN I APPLIED FINE GLITTER TO THE LIQUID APPLIQUE

<brenda> glitter to liquid applique

<kat> YES IT STICKS

<spinz> too much is never enuf<g

<brenda> now that is something i havent tried yet

<kat> ON THE MAIN FLORAL OVAL I MADE A MASK AND STIPPLED SKY BLUE COLORBOX AROUND THE OVAL

<kat> IT REALLY NEEDED SOME COLOR I THOUGH

<vicki> does the liq ap rise by itself, or you have to heat it?

<kat> LAYERED AND ATTACHED THE BOW

<LiBsTeR> that was a good choice, Kat-really makesit stand out

<kat> YOU HAVE TO HEAT THE LIQUID APPLIQUE

<kat> THANKS LIB

<kat> AND APPLY THE GLITTER AS SOON AS YOUR DONE HEATING

<kat> ANY QUESTION

<kat> OR IDEAS

<kat> FOR UNIQUE SPOTLIGHTING

<Janis> Were all 3 parts of the fish raised with foam tape?

<kat> NO JUST THE SPOTLIGHT PART JANIS

<Janis> thanks

<kat> IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED EVO'S TEMPLATES, YOU MUST

<kat> YOU WILL LOVE THEM

<debbie_in_> but you will need all evo's templates

<LiBsTeR> I haven't ever seen them before

<LiBsTeR> they sound interesting

<debbie_in_> they are like a potato chip...you cannot just have one

<kat> I HAVE ALWAYS USED MY FISKARS CUTTER BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU JUST CAN'T GET IT EVEN

<spinz> arrrrrrrrgh...not all at the same time!!!

<debbie_in_> you want them all...and the in betweenies too

<kat> YOU ARE RIGHT DEBBIE

<kat> I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE BETWEENIES TONITE

<LiBsTeR> Sorry I was late, Kat- one of those days

<kat> that's ok lib

<kat> we all have those days

<kat> mine was yesterday

<debbie_in_> yes we do...

LiBsTeR hugs Kat

<MomCat-afk> When I don't have cardstock the right color - I make it. DTP on white cardstock

<LiBsTeR> Well, your class was great

<cak> I bet you could spotlight an area by adhering those tiny clear beads over the spot

<kat> good idea mc

<debbie_in_> me too momcat

<kat> that would be cool cak

<kat> i will have to try that

<cak> or how about spotlight with some acetate technique?

<debbie_in_> oh neat cak

<kat> you are full of ideas cak

<debbie_in_> I love the acetate pieces

<kat> keep going

<brenda> wow cak

<cak> (that I suggest everyone *else* do)

<LiBsTeR> I don't know anything about acetate

<kat> lol

<debbie_in_> oh lib...where have you been

<kat> there are a lot of techniques you can do with acetate lib

<LiBsTeR> carving in my dark cave

<LiBsTeR> LOL

<cak> I was just trying to think of all the techniques we use for whole cards--all entirely appropriate for spotlighting

<MomCat-afk> or clear glitter like somebody Jhone? taught

<debbie_in_> acetate is the most awesome look and so easy

<cak> yes Mom-Cat!

<debbie_in_> brenda made me go buy fff to do acetate with...she twisted my arm thru the puter

<cak> how about a vellum cover over everything except your spolighted spot?

<kat> hi c lion

<brenda> hey clion

<MomCat-afk> C_Lion!!!

<April> hi Cindy..!

<cak> or one of brenda's famous half-marbles?

<vicki> brenda is good at that

<C_Lion> hi everone

<brenda> lol

<brenda> ty

<kat> wow cak you should have taught this class

<cak> LOL--you'd better be kidding!

<brenda> no

<MomCat-afk> then she woulda had to make samples

<cak> (I'm good with theory--actual stamping??? Nope)

<brenda> this is what is a good class

<brenda> cause it inspires more ideas

<MomCat-afk> ideas are more fun if you don't have to make the samples

<C_Lion> url?

<debbie_in_> oh I bought some of those translucent green bingo chips...now what was I supposed to use them for

<kat> http://www.PictureTrail.com/katsstamps

<MomCat-afk> for some of us, anyway

<kat> album 10

<cak> spotlight! debbie

<vicki> debbie, you can spotlight with them

<MomCat-afk> debbie, bubbles in an underwater scene?

<kat> you saw that on carol duvall

<spinz> gonna go bkmrk the pictures

<debbie_in_> thats what I thought...yeah I saw it...and bought it...and then was not sure what to do with it

<vicki> yes, they used it on a clay pin

<debbie_in_> story of my life...LOL

<kat> the torso pin

<debbie_in_> I really need a playmate here...y'all just don't know what you are missing...not living closer to me...LOL

<deb> lol

<kat> i went and bought the marbles in a bunch of different colors the other day

<brenda> yes we do debbie

<kat> me too debbie

<debbie_in_> I find things everyday...that I lost

<brenda> wish we lived closer together

<cak> umm--you could also stamp something on both the front and the inside of a card, color the inside one and cut a window on the front so reveal the coloring?

<LiBsTeR> I have to go, I am really tired, up since 5 am, and it is 11 here

<MomCat-afk> night, Lib

<LiBsTeR> Thanks for the class, Kat
