<tucsonbrookie> I can't pull up the page
<Marion> I got dumped.
<INKYWINGS> TRY AGAIN TUCSON
<Janet> Poor Marion. (hi Marion! I know you!)
<INKYWINGS> GO TO FIRST STEP
<phyl> ok
<INKYWINGS> HERE I HAVE USED A LIGHT COLORED INKPAD AND JUST SWEEPED IT OVER THE PAPER
<INKYWINGS> YOU DON'T NEED TO COVER ALL THE WHITE OR WHATEVER COLOR YOU HAVE ON YOUR CARDSTOCK
<Marion> Hi Janet.
<INKYWINGS> TRY DIFFERENT LIGHT COLORS AT YOUR CARDSTOCK FROM START
<phyl> what kind of cardstock?
<INKYWINGS> ANY KIND
<phyl> either matt or glossy?
<INKYWINGS> TRY WITH WHATEVER YOU GOT NEAR BY
<manybooks> ank pigment ink? or dye
<labelle> what do you like best
<INKYWINGS> THIS ONE I'VE USED IS DYE
<INKYWINGS> EVERYONE HERE IS DYE
<INKYWINGS> AS THE BRUSH MARKER IS KIND OF DYE TOO... LOL
<INKYWINGS> GO TO STEP #2
<INKYWINGS> HERE I'VE STARTED USING THE SPONGE (KIND OF MAKE UP SPONGE)
<INKYWINGS> YOU'LL FIND A LINK TO A PICTURE OF THE SPONGE
<labelle> dry or damp
<INKYWINGS> DRY SPONGE
<labelle> ty
<INKYWINGS> PAINT THE SPONGE WITH YOUR BRUSH MARKER (ANY WATERBASED MARKER)
<INKYWINGS> THEN SWEEP OR DAB THE SPONGE ON YOUR PAPER
<crowfafk> did i miss much?
<Janet> my marvys are here close at hand
<INKYWINGS> SEE HOW I'VE DONE
<INKYWINGS> YEAH - MARVYS ARE GREAT FOR THIS!
<pmstamper> hi, do you like natural sponge, or the ultra thick sponges?
<INKYWINGS> http://www.inkywings.com/OnlineClass/DTP.html
<INKYWINGS> THINK YOU CAN TRY DIFFERENT SPONGES AND SEE WHAT "YOU" LIKE BEST!
<crowfafk> thx!
<INKYWINGS> HEAD OVER TO STEP #3
<Janet> Hi, Milla!
<INKYWINGS> HERE I'VE USED A DYE BASED INKPAD AGAIN
<Milla> Hi Janet!
<Milla> url??
<INKYWINGS> DABBED THE SPONGE ON THE INKPAD AND THEN ON THE PAPER
<INKYWINGS> http://www.inkywings.com/OnlineClass/DTP.html
<labelle> ty i wondered how you did that
<Milla> thanks!!
<INKYWINGS> BUILD UP WITH AS MANY LAYERS OF COLORS AS YOU LIKE
<INKYWINGS> BUT PREFERLY 3-4-5 DIFFERENT COLORS
<Janet> do I blend it in or leave it streaky?
<INKYWINGS> I LIKE TO USE ABOUT 4 COLORS IN THE SAME COLOR SHEME AND THE LAST ONE A BIT DIFFERENT
<INKYWINGS> I USE TO LEAVE IT KIND OF STREAKY
<INKYWINGS> LOOKS STRANGE FIRST BUT BETTER THE MORE COLORS YOU ADD ON YOUR WAY
<Janet> okay! this is good, mine is always streaky
<INKYWINGS> NEXT STEP
<INKYWINGS> #4
<INKYWINGS> HERE YOU CAN SEE... I'VE ADDED GREEN ON TOP OF THE BROWNISH COLORS
<labelle> oh, here is the different color
<INKYWINGS> AND I ALSO SWEEPED MY GOLD BRILLIANCE ON TOP TO GET THE SHIMMER
<INKYWINGS> THE SCAN DON'T SHOW BUT IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
<INKYWINGS> YOU CAN ALSO USE A COLOR OF BRILLIANCE FIRST, IN THE MIDDLE OR IN THE END TO USE
<INKYWINGS> THAT PEARLESCENT SHIMMER
<INKYWINGS> DAB WITH YOUR SPONGE ON THE INKPAD AND THEN ON THE PAPER IN SWEEPY MOVES
<INKYWINGS> OR COVER THE PAPER TO BLEND IT NICE
<INKYWINGS> SEE - IT DOESN'T LOOK THAT STREAKY ANYMORE!!!
<no-vicki> inky, these samples are beautiful
<INKYWINGS> HEAD OVER TO PICTURE #5 AND SEE THE FINAL RESULTAT
<Janet> That's so beautiful!
<INKYWINGS> CAN YOU TELL IT WAS UGLY IN THE BEGINNING??? rofl
<INKYWINGS> THEN STAMP ON YOUR BEAUTIFUL DTP-BACKGROUND - BUT DON'T HIDE IT WITH STAMPS. LOL
<INKYWINGS> LET IT SHOW!!
<Marion> That is gorgeous!
<INKYWINGS> THANKS
<phyl> like the marble veins in green great touch
<INKYWINGS> YEP THOSE ADD THE LITTLE EXTRA
<INKYWINGS> TO THE PICTURE
<phyl> and picked up the green in your pic
<phyl> background
<INKYWINGS> SEE SOME MORE SAMPLES AT: http://www.inkywings.com/OnlineClass/DTPphotos.html
<sweetp> It has a polished stoney kindof look - nice!
<INKYWINGS> NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SWEETP!
<INKYWINGS> THAT'S KIND OF COOL
<INKYWINGS> ALL SAMPLES ARE BUILT UP THE SAME WAY WITH COLORS
<phyl> love the brown cd great look
<sweetp> I LOVE that doll!
<INKYWINGS> I PREFER TO USE DYE INKS AND BRUSHMARKERS NOWDAYS INSTEAD OF PIGMENT INKS
<INKYWINGS> MUCH EASIER TO HANDLE
<INKYWINGS> AND I HAVE SO MANY COLORS THANKS TO THE BRUSHMARKERS!
<phyl> yes they are
<sweetp> would you have to emboss or heat the brilliance??
<INKYWINGS> YOU CAN HEAT THE BRILLIANCE IF YOU CAN'T WAIT UNTIL IT DRY
<INKYWINGS> IF YOU WANT TO STAMP ON IT RIGHT AWAY
<INKYWINGS> IF ANY COLOR DOSEN
<INKYWINGS> DOESN'T LOOK DRY
<INKYWINGS> YOU CAN ALWAYS HEAT IT A BIT BEFORE YOU GO ON
<phyl> have you tried this on both matt and glossy paper?
<sweetp> ty inky
<INKYWINGS> YES - WORKS FINE
<labelle> the sample are really neat - very nice technique
<INKYWINGS> ON BOTH KINDS
<INKYWINGS> AND EASY!!!
<INKYWINGS> ANYONE CAN DO THIS!
<phyl> is it easier on glossy to blend colors?
<INKYWINGS> AND YOU PROBABLY GOT EVERYTHING AT HOME ALREADY
<INKYWINGS> HMMMM, MAYBE, BUT I PREFER THAT THEY DON'T BLEND TOO MUCH
<labelle> that's a good thing - nothing we *have* to buy right now to do it
<phyl> right this is very refreshing
<INKYWINGS> ;-)
<Marion> I'm going to take this to school with me tomorrow. I have to open the computer lab and sit while the teachers meet and work. this is portable.
<INKYWINGS> YOU ARE QUIET
<INKYWINGS> LOL
<INKYWINGS> ANY MORE QUESTIONS??
<phyl> are there better markers than others to use?
<phyl> or just a water based marker?
<INKYWINGS> NO, I DON'T THINK SO
<labelle> do you remember the colors you used on the pink/purple same
<labelle> sample?
<INKYWINGS> I'VE USED MY MARVYS BUT ALSO SOME CHEAP CHILD-MARKERS
<INKYWINGS> AND THEY WORK FIND TOO
<pmstamper> I looked at samples (great by the way), is there a diffence with stamping on CD technique?
<brenda> can i have url please
<INKYWINGS> NO, I'M AFRAID NOT LABELLE
<INKYWINGS> OH - THOSE CD'S...
<pmstamper> oops, difference
<phyl> who would think that green, orange, brown would look good
<INKYWINGS> THOSE ARE STAMPED ON CD-LABELS
<phyl> that is gorgeous
<crowfafk> your coloring is so sophisticated, inkywings!
<INKYWINGS> THEN PUTTED ON THE CD
<labelle> guess I'll just have to experiment, huh?
<INKYWINGS> NOT STAMPED DIRECT TO THE CD!
<INKYWINGS> THANKS CROW
<pmstamper> Ooooh...thanks
<phyl> could you direct stamp on a cd if you put a base coat on it
<INKYWINGS> YOU CAN FIND CD-LABELS ALMOST ANYWHERE I THINK
<labelle> what base coat for a CD?
<INKYWINGS> HAVE NO IDEA PHYL- I HAVE NEVER TRIED
<phyl> acrylic?
<INKYWINGS> ANYONE ELSE KNOWS??
<phyl> gesso?
<pmstamper> yes, labels at office supply stores
<crowfafk> can you (or anyone) suggest any more color combinations?
<phyl> ha me and colors don't mix
<Marion> I found some odd shaped cosmetic sponges at the grogery store cheap. I bet they would make interesting pattern varieties.
<labelle> where's MomCat for color mixing
<phyl> i always get awful looking stuff
<rabbitsmom> blues w/ silver
<INKYWINGS> I'M IN THE EARTHY MOODE, SO I LIKE THOSE BROWNISH COLORS AND ADD GREEN TO IT
<sweetp> someone gave me a tip one time to throw the markers in a pile
<sweetp> close your eyes
<sweetp> and pick three
<crowfafk> oooo sounds pretty rabbitsmom! thx
<INKYWINGS> OR THOSE PINKS WITH LILAC
<INKYWINGS> YEP BLUES WITH SILVER WOULD BE LOVELY!!
<phyl> lol sweetp my kind of colors
<sweetp> mine too! some very interesting combos
<sweetp> almost scary - but bunches of fun!
<rabbitsmom> red, orange yellow w/ gold
<phyl> like teal and pink
<Marion> purlpes with gold
<INKYWINGS> EXPERIMENT AND USE ALL YOUR DYE INKS!!!
<Marion> greens and blues
<INKYWINGS> OR WHY NOT TAKE REINKERS ON YOUR SPONGES AND PAINT!!
<pmstamper> probably pretty easy to "fix" anything you don't like
<INKYWINGS> YES -THAT'S RIGHT PMSTAMPER
<INKYWINGS> JUST ADD A FEW MORE COLORS
<INKYWINGS> http://www.inkywings.com/OnlineClass/DTPphotos.html
<INKYWINGS> http://www.inkywings.com/OnlineClass/DTP.html
<crowfafk> all of these sound wonderful! and maybe add some silver, or even gold to the pink and lilacs
<phyl> could you do this with just using pads and no sponges?
<INKYWINGS> IT'S LOVELY WITH YELLOW COLORS WITH ORANGE OR REAL RED IN THE END
<Marion> or a pearly white. have a reinker in that color.
<INKYWINGS> SURE PHYL!!
<crowfafk> i have to try that pile of markers idea too, just to see if I get my usual muddy mess from picking three blindly-- might do better than i do with my eyes wide open!
<phyl> where did you get a pearly white marker marion?
<INKYWINGS> PUT YOUR GREENS IN ONE PILE, YOUR BLUES IN ANOTHER ONE ETC
<INKYWINGS> THEN YOU PICK 3 FROM ONE PILE AND ONE FROM ANOTHER PILE OF MARKERS
<INKYWINGS> LOL
<INKYWINGS> YOU CAN'T GO WRONG ON THAT ONE
<phyl> sound like a plan to me
<sweetp> I'm going to fun with this one!
<INKYWINGS> YES I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE FUN WITH THIS ONE
<INKYWINGS> COME TO SHOW AND TELL WEDNESDAY (?) AND SHOW WHAT YOU DID!!!!
<labelle> what time is it for you IW?
<phyl> i have lots of scrap paper to experiment on
<Marion> It's a Posh Percious Metal. I've been up to my elbows in shaving cream all morning.
<INKYWINGS> 8.30 PM
<crowfafk> inkywings, if you had all greeens in a pile and then all blues in another, do you mean, like, then pick 3 from the green and only one from the blue?
<phyl> lol marion
<Marion> Sorry that's precious metals
<INKYWINGS> YES CROW
<INKYWINGS> BUT DON'T PICK THE 3 DARKEST ONES... LOL
<crowfafk> k, so the pile you pick only one from should be your last, darkest color maybe?
<INKYWINGS> YES, MAYBE
<crowfafk> thx!
<INKYWINGS> THE DIFFERENT COLOR - LIKE I ADDED GREEN TO MY BROWNISH
<labelle> or from another color family?
<INKYWINGS> THAT'S KIND OF COOL
<pmstamper> work from lightest to dark or other way, I always forget?
<INKYWINGS> YOU CAN ALSO STICK TO ONLY ONCE COLOR FAMILY AND NOT ADD THE DIFFERENT ONE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
<phyl> like light green, med. green, dark green and blue for accent
<INKYWINGS> DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING
<INKYWINGS> SOUNDS GREAT PHYL!
<INKYWINGS> LIGHT TO DARK
<phyl> ah by gorge i think i have it
<INKYWINGS> I PREFER TO START WITH A LIGHT INKPAD
<INKYWINGS> SO I COVER A LARGE PART OF THE PAPER AT FIRST
<phyl> but not all of it right?
<INKYWINGS> THEN ADD DOTS OR SWEEPS WITH THE OTHER COLORS
<INKYWINGS> RIGHT
<phyl> ok
<INKYWINGS> MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING AND ALIVE
<phyl> i see that
<phyl> i like alive cards
<phyl> much better than dead ones
<phyl> lol
INKYWINGS SAYS HEY - DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING???
<phyl> no what?
<crowfafk> as you dot and sweep do you use less of each succeeding color inkywings, with the last color you use being the least used?
<labelle> no, what?
<MomCat> what?
<pmstamper> what?
INKYWINGS YOU JUST LEARNED SOMETHING IN LESS THEN 30 MINUTES!!! :-D
<phyl> this is a first for me
<pmstamper> cool. Time to try it, now.
<phyl> usualy takes me a week
<INKYWINGS> NO CROW - I DON'T ADD LESS COLORS THE MORE COLORS I ADD... LOL
<INKYWINGS> SOUNDS STRANGE
<INKYWINGS> I ADD WHAT I THINK LOOK GOOD
<labelle> never thought of sponging on marvy's for dtp - very good idea,
<INKYWINGS> NOT NECCESSARY LESS OF THE LAST COLOR
<phyl> if it don't look good add more
<crowfafk> LOL!! I mean, the first color covers most of the paper, and the second color less, and the third even less, and then the fourth less yet?
<crowfafk> oh, ok.
<INKYWINGS> I UNDERSTAND YOU CROW, BUT COULDN'T EXPLAIN MYSELF. LOL
<phyl> it is called try it and see
<INKYWINGS> THAT'S MY MOTTO
<phyl> i have a waste basket label that
<crowfafk> I'm not sure I said it well at all!
<INKYWINGS> TRY AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENS!!!
<crowfafk> um, quick question, do we wet the sponges first?
<INKYWINGS> I USE MY SPONGES DRY
<crowfafk> i missed the very beginning.
<INKYWINGS> BUT.... TRY AND SEE!!!
<INKYWINGS> LOL
<phyl> maybe would give a pastel if wet?
<crowfafk> oh, thx! I like the effect you get, inkywings!
<INKYWINGS> IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T DO IT AGAIN
<INKYWINGS> ROFL
<pmstamper> Anybody has tips on reviving weak markers?
<phyl> they have a spray out
<INKYWINGS> ADD A FEW DROPS OF WATER IN THE END
<phyl> that you spritz on markers and pads that is great
<INKYWINGS> OH, THE TOP IT MIGHT BE
<crowfafk> wow, phyl, what is it?
<crowfafk> what company?
<phyl> just a sec i will see
<crowfafk> should we use distilled water? and where does one get that-- what the heck is it anyway?
<Marion> Or dip the tip quickly in water, turn upside down and cap overnight. Saved a lot of kindergarten markers that way.
<phyl> It is from Ranger called Perfect Ink Refresher
<INKYWINGS> AND AS I'M HERE DOING A CLASS I'LL REMIND YOU ALL TO PASS MY BOOTH BEFORE YOU GO ANYWHERE ELSE... LOL
<INKYWINGS> http://cyberstampers.com/convention/inkywings/
<pmstamper> I know distilled water is at groceries and pharmacies.
