<kristi> I still feel odd when he introduces me as his wife, LOL!
<beanjean1> THIS BACKGROUND CLASS IS BASICALLY TO TEACH THE BACKGROUNDS FOR THE
<beanjean1> PROJECT THAT WILL BE TAUGHT TOMORROW. THAT SAID, THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT
<beanjean1> EASY BACKGROUNDS TO USE FOR ANY PROJECT YOU HAPPEN TO BE DOING.

<brenda> sure
<Kristin> yes

<beanjean1> http://www.evolving-images.com/chal02.htm
<brenda> yw
<beanjean1> GO THERE AND LOOK FOR MY ENTRY...JEAN JOHNSON
<brenda> awesome
<keribou> really nice jean
<beanjean1> THANKS BRENDA
<phyl> oooo great work
<beanjean1> THANKS KERI
<brenda> dominoes?
<brenda> neato
<beanjean1> THE FIRST BACKGROUND IS THE ONE I USED FOR THE FRAME
<beanjean1> YEP
<brenda> cant wait
<beanjean1> MY FIRST DOMINO PROJECT
<LindaR> gorgeous
<beanjean1> OK GUYS LET'S MOVE ON....ARE YOU READY?
<brenda> now tell us how you did the background
<brenda> yippie
<beanjean1> THANKS LINDA
<phyl> now ia m
<beanjean1> THE FIRST ONE, I LEARNED ON CAROL DUVALL. I'M NOT SURE OF THE PROPER NAME, I
<beanjean1> JUST REFER TO IT AS THE CRUMPLED PAPER TECHNIQUE. ALSO, I'M NOT SURE THAT I'M
<beanjean1> DOING IT EXACTLY AS THE PERSON DEMOED IT ON THE SHOW....BUT THIS IS WHAT
<beanjean1> WORKS FOR ME.
<beanjean1> HEY SPARKLE
<sparkle> hiya...can you start over? I missed the beginning <>
<brenda> lol
<beanjean1> TPPLIES FOR THIS: TEXT WEIGHT PAPERS & METALLIC, DYE, AND PIGMENT INK PADS.
<beanjean1> LOL SPARKLE
<beanjean1> i WAS LATE :(
<mj> LOL
<beanjean1> SO WE'RE JUST STARTING
<brenda> like copy paper?
<beanjean1> YES BRENDA
<mj> sorry my child is messing around
<brenda> k ty
<beanjean1> YOU KNOW THE PASTEL TEXT WEIGHT VARITY PACK?
<brenda> yep
<labelle> sure do
<beanjean1> THAT'S WHAT I USED FOR THE PINK, BLUE , GREEN
<brenda> k
<beanjean1> ODDLY ENOUGH, JUST USING THESE INEXPENSIVE SUPPLIES, THIS TECHNIQUE PRODUCES
<beanjean1> A PIECE OF PAPER THAT MANY HAVE THOUGHT WAS AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF
<beanjean1> HANDMADE PAPER!
<kristi> I've done this before, but hadn't thought to use the colored paper - ty!
<beanjean1> np KRISTI, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR...TO LEARN
<beanjean1> THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE EXPERIMENTING TYPE OF BACKGROUNDS. BEST TO
<beanjean1> USE A VARIETY OF COLORS OF PAPERS, AND THEN CHOOSE INKS TO COMPLEMENT THE
<beanjean1> COLOR OF PAPER. IN THE PROJECT I CHOSE A MOSSY GREEN PAPER.
<kristi> I especially like this tech because then you know your layering papers match your main image because you can use the same inks
<beanjean1> NOW I FEEL REALLY DUMB...I SHOULD HAVE SCANNED WHAT THE PAPERS LOOKED LIKE BEFORE
<beanjean1> YES KRISTI THAT'S TRUE
<brenda> oh my
<kristi> no prob - I think we all have an idea of what it looked like
<beanjean1> IT'S A CONTROLLED THING AND I LIKE CONTROL
<beanjean1> OH MY WHAT?
<brenda> that helps me a lot
<brenda> cause of the colorblindness
<brenda> helps me make it match
<beanjean1> YES BRENDA IT WOULD
<brenda> yep big time help
<kristi> kewl
<labelle> way kewl I like #4 with the different colors
<beanjean1> DON' T FORGET TO PROTECT YOUR WORK SURFACE
<brenda> k
<beanjean1> THANKS IABELLE...IS THAT THE PINK ONE?
beanjean1 CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT SHE DID
<brenda> lol
<labelle> yes
<beanjean1> I'M OPENING UP THE PICS NOW TOO
<beanjean1> OK WE'LL GO THROUGH THE DIRECTIONS THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT EACH ONE
<beanjean1> THE FIRST STEP IS VERY EASY, JUST CRUMPLE UP THE PAPER. GET YOUR FAMILY
<brenda> k
<beanjean1> INVOLVED! USE THOSE PAPERS THAT WERE AN 'OOPS'... SOMEHOW GOT CREASED OR
<beanjean1> CRUNCHED...FOR THIS PROJECT IT'LL WORK.
<brenda> k
<beanjean1> AFTER IT'S CRUMPLED PRETTY WELL, YOU NEED TO FLATTEN IT OUT. ALL THE INKS I
<beanjean1> USED WERE MEMORIES, COLORBOX METALLIC PIGMENT PETAL POINT; OR BRILLIANCE
<beanjean1> INK PADS. I STARTED WITH THE LIGHTEST COLOR OF INK, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE
<beanjean1> SILVER. I FOLLOWED THAT UP WITH COPPER.
<beanjean1> OHHH THESE ARE THE COLORS FOR THE PROJECT
<sparkle> can you flip the URL again please?
<beanjean1> BRENDA?
<labelle> do you wet the paper at all?
<beanjean1> I DIDN'T IABELLE
<labelle> ty
<kristi> http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/jeanjohnson2002/
<kristi> then click on "crumpled"
<beanjean1> WELL, WAIT! I DID ON ONE
<beanjean1> I SPRITZED IT A LITTLE
<brenda> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<brenda> sorry
<beanjean1> DO YOU ALL KEEP A SPRITZ BOTTLE ON YOUR WORK TABLE?
<brenda> yep
<beanjean1> THA'T OK BRENDA
<labelle> yep
<brenda> all the time
<phyl> oh yes i have cats
<beanjean1> OK NEXT
<kristi> somewhere in the piles of stuff
<beanjean1> THE COLORBOX INKS WERE EASY TO 'MOVE' ONCE THEY WERE DOWN, THE BRILLIANCE
<beanjean1> AND THE MEMORIES DON'T BLEND AND MOVE LIKE THE COLORBOX.
<beanjean1> LOOK AT THE SCAN 'BACKGROUND 1' THIS SHOWS THE FIRST TWO COLORS, SILVER AND
<beanjean1> COPPER.
<beanjean1> LOL
<beanjean1> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
<beanjean1> CAN YOU SEE THE INKS WELL ENOUGH IN THE SCANS?
<phyl> yes
<brenda> yep
<beanjean1> GOOD
<labelle> it looks like you just hit the high spots and not the entire sheet,right?
<beanjean1> NOW I CRUMPLED THE PAPER AGAIN, AND APPLIED GOLDRUSH, PEACOCKGOLD, AND
<beanjean1> METALEXTRA VERDIGRIS. LOOK AT BACKGROUND 2.
<beanjean1> WHEN I SMOOTH OUT THE PAPER AFTER CRUMPLING, MY HANDS HELPED MOVE THE INK
<beanjean1> AROUND: BE WARNED THIS CAN GET MESSY!
<beanjean1> YES IABELLE THAT'S RIGHT
<brenda> did you appluy with the pad directly?
<beanjean1> YEP
<brenda> k
<beanjean1> HAVE A LIGHT HAND
<brenda> k
<beanjean1> NOW CRUMPLE IT AT LEAST FOR A THIRD TIME....AND REAPPLY WHATEVER COLORS YOU
<beanjean1> WANT TO SEE MORE OF. LAST I USED BRILLANCE BLACK.
<beanjean1> BACKGROUND 3 IS THE WHOLE SHEET OF FINISHED PAPER.
<keribou> do you need to reink your pads frequently bj?
<beanjean1> ACTUALLY YES IF YOU'RE DOING A LOT
<beanjean1> BUT THAT SAID...SOME PADS ARE BETTER NOT REINKED
<phyl> and that is why?
<beanjean1> LIKE ON THE PINK ONE THE FUSCHIA COLOR....
<beanjean1> IF YOU REINK, YOU MAY NEED TO HAVE A LIGHTER TOUCH
<phyl> thanks
<beanjean1> THE JUICIER THE PAD THE LIGHTER THE TOUCH
<beanjean1> OK
<beanjean1> BACKGROUNDS 1,3, AND 4 ARE A MONOCROMATIC MIX OF INKS. I USED A PIGMENT INK
<beanjean1> THAT WAS A LITTLE DARKER THAN THE PAPER FIRST; FOLLOWED THAT WITH SILVER OR
<beanjean1> PEACOCK GOLD; THEN SOMETIMES COVERED IT ALL WITH BRILLANCE WHITE.
<beanjean1> RECRUMPLED IT AND HIT THE HIGH SPOTS WITH AN ENCORE INK THAT WAS A LITTLE
<beanjean1> DARKER BUT SAME SHADE. I FINISHED WITH A MEMORIES INK IN THE SAME COLOR
<beanjean1> FAMILY, BUT THE DARKEST SHADE.
<Seesa> Dye inks or pigment?
<Seesa> or any prefrence?
<beanjean1> OK, SEESA
<beanjean1> I USUALLY START WITH PIGMENTS, AND END WITH BRILLIANCE OR MEMORIES
<beanjean1> HI MADKAPKID AND SWEETP
<sweetp> hi bj!
<brenda> so the sequence makes a difference in the way it looks?
<madkapkid> HI..sorry I am soooo late
<Seesa> Gotcha thanks
<beanjean1> THE PURPLE AND YELLOW SHEETS WERE AN EXPERIMENT; THEY JUST TURNED OUT OK.
<beanjean1> I MAY TRY SPRITZING THE YELLOW ONE WITH WATER.....IF YOU LOOK AT 6,7 & 8....I
<beanjean1> DIDN'T LIKE 6 SO I SPRITZED IT WITH WATER, THEN RUBBED OVER IT WITH MY HAND.
<beanjean1> LOOKED WAY BETTER AFTER THAT!
<beanjean1> BRENDA SORRY I JUST SAW YOUR QUESTION
<brenda> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<beanjean1> YES...IF YOU START WITH THE PIGMENT INKS....
<brenda> that is ok
<brenda> k
<beanjean1> SUBSEQUENT INKS KEEP MOVING THEM AROUND
<brenda> k
<beanjean1> BUT IT DOES DEPEND ON THE LOOK YOU WANT
<brenda> ok
<beanjean1> THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE BACKGROUNDS YOU NEED TO EXPERIMENT WITH
<beanjean1> HEY ANNO
<labelle> durn, got knocked off!
<anno> hey beej
<beanjean1> YOU DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING IABELLE
<labelle> whew, I'm relieved about that
<beanjean1> OK DID YOU ALL LOOK AT THE CARDS I DID?
<phyl> yup
<beanjean1> CAN YOU TELL THE BACKGROUNDS I USED?
<brenda> on some i can
<beanjean1> THE TAN ONE USED THE BACKGROUND THAT I THOUGHT WAS THE UGLIEST!
<brenda> interesting texture look
<phyl> yup
<phyl> i can tell
<phyl> love the cranes
<beanjean1> THAT'S AN EVO STAMP
<phyl> yup have it
<phyl> like your idea
<beanjean1> THAT ONE I USED BACKGROUND #6
<beanjean1> THANKS
<phyl> it turned out fantastic
<labelle> did you put the stamp to the dominoes or dominoes to the stamp?
<beanjean1> I SENT THAT CARD TO FRANK FOR HIS BIRTHDAY
<beanjean1> THANKS PHYL
<beanjean1> IABELLE, SAVE THAT QUESTION FOR TOMORROW OK?
<phyl> bet he saves that card forever
<labelle> sure thing
<beanjean1> I HOPE SO :)
<phyl> lol
<beanjean1> OK READY FOR THE NEXT BACKGROUND?
<phyl> yup
<beanjean1> WE ONLY HAVE 15 MINS....
<phyl> hurry hurry
<beanjean1> The background paper for the main image is similar to
<beanjean1> that technique that uses the clear report folders.
<beanjean1> However, I felt that I had more control doing it the
<beanjean1> following way.
<beanjean1> Tape down a piece of acetate. Have another piece laying
<beanjean1> close by. Using dye reinkers, drip, drop and swirl the ink
<beanjean1> on the acetate.
<beanjean1> NO PATTERN NEEDED HERE PEOPLE....
<beanjean1> THE MORE RANDOM THE BETTER
<brenda> k
<brenda> i can do random
<beanjean1> Then spritz with either water or vinegar (I used an old I
<beanjean1> Can't Believe it's Not Butter spray bottle). At this point
<beanjean1> look it over...is it something you like? If not add more
<beanjean1> inks, spritz some more.
<brenda> vinegar?
<phyl> pew
<beanjean1> REALLY BY LOOKING AT IT...YOU CAN SEE IF THERE'S TOO MUCH COLOR IN ONE SPOT
<beanjean1> WELL, IT WAS IN A SPRAY BOTTLE
<brenda> k
<beanjean1> AND I NEVER DID DECIDE IF IT'S THE VINEGAR OR THE WATER THAT WORKS THE BEST!
<brenda> neato
<beanjean1> hen, lay the other piece of acetate over it, and press it
<beanjean1> down. Carefully pick up the top piece of acetate, and lay
<beanjean1> it aside. (Remember you can use this one too, and do it
<beanjean1> before it dries!)
<Seesa> Do you have an example of this background?
<beanjean1> WELL YOU CAN SEE IT ON A CARD....UNDER RUBBERSTAMNP PROJECTS
<beanjean1> IT SAYS NEW BACKGROUND...
<beanjean1> AT YAHOO PHOTOS
<labelle> url again, please
<beanjean1> BRENDA?
<beanjean1> http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/jeanjohnson2002/lst?.dir=/Rubber+Stamped+Projects&.view=t
<brenda> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<phyl> wow that is on acetate?
<beanjean1> TRY THAT
<beanjean1> OH THANKS BRENDA
<beanjean1> NO PHYL
<brenda> yw
<phyl> what?
<beanjean1> YOU'RE AHEAD OF THE GAME A BIT....
<phyl> ooo sorry
<beanjean1> For a different look, pick up the acetate on the bottom left
<beanjean1> corner, and lift toward the top right corner.... helps
<beanjean1> move the ink in a different way.
<beanjean1> HEY evo
<brenda> hey evo
<beanjean1> Use glossy cardstock (this was cut into 5.5” x 8.5” pieces).
<beanjean1> Lay a piece glossy side down on your acetate, and then
<evo> Darn... I missed your class! :{>
<beanjean1> pick it up.
<beanjean1> OK, PHYL, THERE'S THE STORY...IT'S GLOSSY PAPER
<phyl> ha i see
<beanjean1> THAT'S OK EVO, THERE'S A REPEAT TONIGHT!
<phyl> like the luna lights
<beanjean1> YEP
<phyl> coool
<beanjean1> (EXCEPT A LOT CHEAPER)
<phyl> like this better and like cheaper too
<beanjean1> Keep adding inks, and spritzing when there are bare spots.
<beanjean1> Also, you can use the other piece of acetate to move the
<LindaR> so your kind of using the acetate to print onto cardstock?
<beanjean1> color around.
<beanjean1> YES LINDAR
<LindaR> ty
<brenda> neat idea bj
<phyl> any special kind of glossy work better?
<beanjean1> THIS WAS IN ONE OF THE RS MAGS A WHILE BACK
<beanjean1> PHYL, I JUST USED WHAT I HAD
<phyl> thanks
<beanjean1> AND NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS
<LindaR> never tried, that one, got to give it a go.
<beanjean1> BUT WHEN IT WAS IN THE MAGAZINE, THEY USED A REPORT FOLDER
<beanjean1> AND I DIDN'T LIKE THAT
<beanjean1> NOT ENOUGH CONTROL :-)
<phyl> ooo like they squished it between two sheets?
<beanjean1> ne more thought on this: don't spritz TOO much...will be
<beanjean1> too thin and make a mess...(it's a moment YOU want to
<beanjean1> avoid) Sometimes you may want to 'move' the color on
<beanjean1> the cardstock, so spritz the cardstock!
<beanjean1> YES PHYL....AND ALL I COULD THINK WAS BIG MESS!!!!!!
<phyl> i hear that
<labelle> how did you get the black edge? That's not part of the stamp, is it?
<keribou> thanks for class
<beanjean1> BLACK EDGE?
<beanjean1> ALMOST DONE KERI
<phyl> around the glossy paper
<beanjean1> WHERE DO YOU SEE THE BLACK EDGE? ON THE PROJECT?
<labelle> right, on the sample
<beanjean1> OHH
<phyl> you can see what looks like black on the edges
<beanjean1> THE DOMINOES ARE GLUED ON A PIECE OF BLACK PAPER
<beanjean1> SIGH
<labelle> ty phyl, I thought my monitor might be dirty
<beanjean1> I WISH YOU ALL COULD SEE IT FOR REAL
<Seesa> Make us all one <>
<brenda> it looks awesome
<beanjean1> IT'S A 3D THING....IT'S NOT FLAT
<labelle> I'm looking at the project "new background"
<beanjean1> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
<beanjean1> OH IABELLE JUST A SEC....I'M NOT SURE ON THAT
<phyl> what does dominoes have to do with it,that is a dominoe? I am confused
<evo> You can always see it in our booth at shows :>
<phyl> which dosen't take much lately
<madkapkid> 'I think we are talking 2 different samples...
<beanjean1> LOL EVO, GOOD IDEA...EVERYONE NEEDS TO VISIT EVO!!!!
