Log file opened at: 1/29/06 4:00:55 PM

<Phyl> WOO HOO THE GANG IS HERE ALREADY

<Phyl> OK LETS START CLASS LADIES

<Phyl> ARE YOU READY?

<cak> I am! I am!

<Phyl> HANG ONTO YOUR SEATS THIS IS GOING TO BE A SLIPPERY RIDE

<kathyb> sure. the baby oil thing has me worried. ;-)

<cak> but fun

<Phyl> THERE IS THE URL

<Phyl> CLICK ON THAT

<Phyl> FOR CLASS SAMPLES

<cak> thanks phyl

<Phyl> HI MAGPIE AND SCOUT

<cak> http://tinyurl.com/9cbah

<Phyl> WELCOME

<Phyl> OK EVERYONE HAVE THE PAGE OPEN?

<Wanda> yes

<kathyb> yes

<scout> hi, everyone, the clock at Ralphs was 10 min slow

<Natalie> yup

<cak> got it

<pai> yes

<Phyl> BABY OIL CLASS

<Phyl> BROUGHT TO YOU BY BARBARA OF CREATIVE IMAGES.

<magpie> hi phyl

<kathyb> i'm looking at baby oil 1

<joy> yummmm

<magpie> do i get to be silly in your class now?

<Phyl> AHA AND YOU THOUGHT BABY OIL WAS FOR BABIES!!!! WELL SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

<Phyl> YOU CAN MAKE SOME STUNNING BACKGROUNDS WITH BABY OIL AND A COTTON BALL.

<scout> Remember when we all used it to tan with in the summer?

<texasbarb> ok, i'm ready now

<Phyl> THE MAIN MEDIUMS I HAVE USED ARE WATERCOLOR OIL PASTELS, REGULAR PASTEL STICKS AND THE SHIVA OIL PAINT STICKS.

<magpie> i mostly remember burning all summer

<CeeCee> Yep! Mixed w/ iodine! Arggh!

<CindyC> ceecee!

<CindyC> lol

<Phyl> I THINK THAT THE OIL PASTELS WORK WONDERFUL FOR THIS TECHNIQUE.

<Phyl> ACTUALLY ANYTHING THAT CAN BE BROKEN DOWN WITH WATER OR ANOTHER MEDIUM WILL WORK WITH THE BABY OIL.

<CindyC> i diddn't need no oil

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<Phyl> I HAVE TRIED REGULAR BABY OIL, BABY OIL GEL, AND BABY MAGIC CREAMY BABY OIL.

<CeeCee> LOL Cindy!!

<Phyl> THEY ALL WORK JUST FINE, I THINK THAT THE CREAMY BABY OIL SOAKS INTO THE CARDSTOCK FASTER THAN THE OTHER TWO.

<kathyb> what works best?

<Natalie> crisco was what someone I knew used....

<CindyC> cool

<texasbarb> will it work with watersoluable oil pastels?

<Phyl> PLEASE HOLD QUESTIONS UNTIL I ASK FOR THEM PLEASE

<kathyb> do we want it to soak in fast?

<Natalie> anywho, back to baby oil.... ;)

<CindyC> i knew someone who actually used motor oil... ewwwww

<texasbarb> oops...sorry

<Phyl> YOU DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE A POOR OLD FEEBLE BRAINED LEADY

<Phyl> BUT NORMALLY IF YOU LET THEM SIT OVERNIGHT THEY ARE JUST FINE TO USE THE NEXT DAY.

<CindyC> we will be good now

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<Phyl> DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF CARDSTOCK YOU USE, YOU CAN GET MANY DIFFERENT LOOKS WITH THIS TECHNIQUE.

<Phyl> ALSO DEPENDING ON HOW YOU PUT THE COLORS ON THE CARDSTOCK, YOU CAN GET DIFFERENT RESULTS.

<Natalie> how to's please.

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<Phyl> WB MONICA

<Phyl> BABY OIL 1 WAS DONE WITH VARIOUS SHADES OF REDS AND PINKS. DEPENDING ON HOW WELL YOU RUB IT AROUND YOU CAN MAKE THE BACKGROUND LOOK ANYWAY YOU LIKE, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE STREAKS OF LIGHTER COLORS IN THIS ONE. I JUST RUBBED IT IN LESS ON THIS ONE WHEN I LAID DOWN THAT COLOR.

<Phyl> I JUST TOOK THE BABY OIL AND ADDED A FEW DROPS TO THE COTTON BALL AND STARTED RUBBING THE COLOR AROUND THE CARD.

<Phyl> BABY OIL 2 - THIS WAS DONE ON CARDSTOCK THAT SOME SLIGHT RIDGES IN IT USED BROWNS AND ORANGES ON THIS ONE

<Regina> I missed link to class pic.

<Natalie> resist techniques?

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<magpie> http://tinyurl.com/9cbah

<Regina> ty

<Phyl> BABY OIL 3 - THIS WAS DONE ON VERY SMOOTH MATT CARD STOCK. AFTER I WAS FINISHED I JUST POUNCED THE COTTON BALL UP AND DOWN ALL OVER THE CARD TO GIVE IT A TEXTURED LOOK

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<Phyl> BABY OIL 4 - WHEN I WAS HAPPY WITH THE COLORS ON THIS I ADDED JUST LITTLE DOTS OF GREEN IN IT AND RUBBED A LITTLE, IT GAVE IT A VERY SUBTLE MULTI COLORED LOOK TO IT.

<Phyl> BABY OIL 5- IF YOU START OUT WITH A LIGHT COLOR, LIKE THIS ONE WAS STARTED WITH LIGHT BLUE. AND GO TO A DARK COLOR THE LIGHTER COLOR ACTS LIKE A SORT OF A RESIST AND WILL NOT COVER COMPLETELY

<Phyl> YOU ALL WITH ME SO FAR?

<Natalie> ya

<Star> are you using an ink or just a colored cardstock?

<Natalie> does it dry fast?

<texasbarb> um...can't seem to identify the pics...not titles

<Phyl> NOPE LOST THEM AT THE STARTING GATE

<Phyl> ALMOST DONE STAR THEN YOU CAN ASK AWAY

<Star> lol

<Star> sorry

<Phyl> NO PROB

<Natalie> :)

<Phyl> IF YOU INTERRUPT ME I LOOSE IT

<Phyl> AND YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT IN PUBLIC

<Natalie> pic #6

<Star> I understand

<Phyl> BELIEVE ME

<Phyl> LOL

<scout> So you put the color down first, then the baby oil

<Phyl> BABY OIL 6- WAS DONE WITH VARIOUS SHADES OF RED AGAIN STARTED WITH A LIGHT COLOR.

<Star> shhhh,scout, can't talk yet

<Judy> hold your cursor over each pic and it will tell you it's title

<Wanda> If you hold your cursor over the pic it will give you the title

<Phyl> THE MORE COLOR YOU PUT ON THE CARD THE BETTER IT LOOKS, WHEN YOU LAY DOWN YOUR FIRST COLOR, EITHER BY SCRIBBLING ACROSS THE PAGE OR IN CIRCLES OR WHATEVER IT WILL LOOK HORRIBLE.

<Phyl> YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICS TO MAKE THEM BIGGER

<texasbarb> ty

<Wanda> Phyl - there are two baby oil #1s and 2 baby oil #2s

<Phyl> AND YOU WILL SAY WAS THAT WOMAN OUT OF HER MIND? THIS LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE TO ME. JUST KEEP LAYERING ON COLORS AND PRETTY SOON YOU WILL BE SAYING AAAAAAAAAAAAA BEAUTIFUL.

<Phyl> WELL WANDA PHYL WAS OUT OF IT WHEN SHE DID THIS PAGE

<Phyl> JUST FINISHED REFORMATTING PUTER

<Wanda> lol ok

<Phyl> WITH THIS TECHNIQUE YOU CAN MAKE A BACKGROUND MATCH ANY PICTURE YOU HAVE COLORED. AND ONCE YOU GET STARTED IT IS LIKE A DRUG YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP. I MUST HAVE ABOUT 40 OF THESE THINGS LAYING AROUND THE STAMP ROOM NOW.

<Star> 40 backgrounds?

<Natalie> wow

<Phyl> AS YOU CAN SEE BY PICTURE 13 AND 14, YOU CAN STAMP DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THESE BACKGROUNDS ALSO. I STAMPED THE FAN WITH COLORBOX CHALK INK AND THE LIGHTHOUSE WITH EVO'S BLACK DOCUMENT INK AND THEY STAMPED WONDERFUL.

<Phyl> .

<Phyl> OK GUESTIONS LAY EM ON ME

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<Star> what is the medium of color

<Rochelle> Question: Exactly what are you using in addition to two drops of baby oil on a cotton ball?

<kathyb> so, we put the baby oil on the paper first/

<kathyb> ?

<scout> Can you use the technique on vellum?

<Phyl> ANYTHING THAT CAN BE BROKEN DOWN BY WATER OR OIL

<Phyl> LIKE THE CRAY PAS

<Phyl> OIL PASTELS

<Phyl> WATER COLOR CRAYONS

<Natalie> put oil directly on cotton ball or on paper?

<Phyl> PUT COLOR ON PAPER AND BABY OIL ON COTTON BALL

<Phyl> AND RUB RUB RUB

<Phyl> ADD MORE COLOR TO PAPER AND RUB RUB RUB

<Phyl> KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL YOU LIKE HOW IT LOOKS

<boomersmo> aaah, I see says the blind woman...

<Natalie> glossy or matte?

<scout> do we have to "adub" too?

<Phyl> THESE WERE DONE ON MATTE

<Rochelle> color. babyoil on cotton,,, rub... color some more,,, and repeat? correct

<Phyl> CORRECT

<Rochelle> LOL scout

<Natalie> wash, rinse, repeat.

<scout> vellum question again

<Phyl> THAT IS HOW YOU CAN MAKE THE BACKGROUND MATCH ANY PICTURE YOU HAVE MADE

<Phyl> HAVEN'T TRIED ON VELLUM YET SCOUT

<texasbarb> think i got it she says with a big grin!!!!!!!!

<Rochelle> great... sounds fun will try

<Natalie> and if you do color on cotton ball, oil on cs....

<Steph> Do you have to seal it so oil doesn't transfer?

<Phyl> SO TAKE YOUR MEDIUM OF CHOICE SCRIBBLE ON CARDSTOCK

<scout> Trying to think of the absorbancy of vellum?

<Phyl> PUT A FEW DROPS OF BABY OIL ON THE COTTON AND RUB

<Rochelle> I like my idea for the babyoil better; but I will try this

<Phyl> IT MAKES AWESOME BACKGROUNDS

<Natalie> Great. Thanks.

<Star> so if you color a stamped image with water color crayons; then, use same color and medium for backgroun, right?

<scout> Will this stain thru to the other side of your card? Think hot mailbox.

<Phyl> AND YOU CAN MIX MATCH COLORS

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<Phyl> YES STAR

<Phyl> NOT IF YOU DON'T USE TO MUCH BABY OIL SCOUT

<Phyl> TRY TO KEEP IT TO A MINIMUM

<Phyl> JUST ENOUGH TO MOVE YOUR MEDIUM AROUND AND MAKE IT SMOOTH

<texasbarb> do you need to seal so the oil doesn't transfer to the other papers?

<scout> The old more is better is not, huh?

<Phyl> NO IF YOU DON'T SATURATE PAPER IT SOAKS IN

<Phyl> NOPE MORE IS NOT BETTER

<BlackCats> wow, phyl!

<BlackCats> just caught up

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<kathyb> i want to go try this now.

<BlackCats> these are gorgeous!

<cak> phyl! the color transitions are just beautiful--almost like airbrushing

<Phyl> AND IF YOU USE DIFFERENT CARDSTOCK YOU GET DIFFERENT LOOKS

<Star> me too

<Phyl> THANKS MONICA

<wezz> I missed something, what else besides baby oil do we need?? what type of ink/paint?

<kathyb> i'm trying to remember if I have baby oil in the house.

<Phyl> LIKE PATTERNED CARDSTOCK

<Regina> Did you use only white cardstock or different colors?

<Rochelle> me too dare I leave? it'll be the first time I left

<Star> ridges, swirls give very different effects than plain, right?

<Phyl> IOOPS HANG ON CAT JUST SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME

<Rochelle> So come back here at 3:00 m time.

<wezz> glossy paper or regular??

<texasbarb> have you tried this on gloss paper?

<Natalie> silly cat!

<CindyC> which half of you?

<Lynn_e> Hi all

<Phyl> YES DIFFERENT EFFECTS FROM DIFFERENT CARDSTOCK

<CindyC> hi lynne with an e!

<scout> Kathy, you could always pick up one of those travel bottles to start. You know, those little ones in the drug store travel section

<Natalie> wouldn't soak in as well on glossy

<Phyl> HI LYNN

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<Phyl> NO IT WOULD SIT ON TOP OF GLOSSY CARDSTOCK

<Natalie> well, ttfn

<texasbarb> ty

<wezz> ah

<Natalie> catch you all some other time

<Phyl> ALSO I HAVE SPRINKLED GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER ON TOP OF THE BABY OIL BACKGROUND AND HEATED IT

<kathyb> yeah, but I'm an hour away from any store right now. I wanted to try it tonight. <grin>

<Phyl> AND IT STUCK THERE LIKE GLUE

<Phyl> GAVE IT A VERY KEWL SPARKLY EFFECT

<BlackCats> lol kathy

<wezz> what type of ink please,?

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<BlackCats> ooh, neat idea

<scout> check your neighbors with kids

<Phyl> ANYTHING THAT CAN BE BROKEN DOWN BY WATER OR AN MEDIUM

<boomersmo> the embossing idea sounds interesting..

<cak> oh man, think of all our unused eps!

<Phyl> CRA PAS, WATER SOLUABLE CRAYONS

<wezz> ???

<Star> thanks, be back again soon. dh is interferring with my life choices....call the Feds or at least Jam

<scout> Wonder if mineral oil would be too heavy.

<sandyh> do you have a problem with the e.p. sticking to the rest of the cs?

<Phyl> THANKS FOR COMING STAR

<CindyC> lol

<wezz> I need to come over there so you can show me..... LOL

<Phyl> BUT THE BABY OIL IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE

<Phyl> AND GIVE YOUR CARD A NICE SMELL ALSO

<Phyl> COME ON DOWN WEZZ

<wezz> and I can shop the travel sections in the stores..... bwahahaha!!

<Phyl> OK ON TO THE CARDS

<D-E> I missed the very beginning of this class....will it be archived somewhere?

<Phyl> FOURTH OF JULY KITTY KAT

<Phyl> I LOVE THIS STAMP, HE IS SO CUTE EVERY TIME I SEE HIM I WANT TO SAY AWWWWWW

<wezz> D-E!!!!

<wezz> hi

<Phyl> ALL OF THE IMAGES HERE ARE FROM CREATIVE IMAGES

<D-E> HILDE!!!!!!

<wezz> :d

<Phyl> I STAMPED HIM ON MAT CARDSTOCK AND COLORED WITH WATER COLOR PENCILS. I ADDED STICKLES GLITTER GLUE TO THE FIREWORKS. THEN I

<D-E> ;)

<Phyl> CUT IT OUT WITH DECKLE EDGE SCISSORS AND GLUED TO A DARK BLUE GLOSSY CARDSTOCK. I ALSO PUT STICKLES AROUND THE DARK BLUE CARDSTOCK

<BlackCats> D-E, all classes are logged and they will be available in a few days

<Phyl> HI STEPH WELCOME

<Steph> sorry...keep booting myself out

<D-E> thanks, cat

<Phyl> I THEN MOUNTED IT TO THE BABY OIL BACKGROUND YOU SEE NEXT TO HIM ON THE LEFT AND GLUED THAT TO A DARK RED BASE CARD.

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<Phyl> QUSTIONS ON THIS CARD?

<marylou> Hey D-E--WEzz is gonna have the ehaviest suitcases going home!!!!!!!

<marylou> heaviest

<Phyl> NO QUESITONS?

<wezz> Marylou!!!!

<texasbarb> do you need a special adhesive to stick layers together?

<Phyl> WELL I MUST BE BETTER THAN I THOUGHT

<marylou> :p

<cak> did you have any trouble with gluing layers?

<Phyl> CRAFTERS PICK ULTIMATE GLUE

<texasbarb> ty

<cak> that's a good one

<Phyl> LOVE THAT STUFF

<wezz> yep you are right.... heavy suitcase.... or suitcaseS

<sandyh> any idea what is the difference between stickles and icy stickles?

<wezz> LOL

<Phyl> NONE THT I KNOW OF EXCEPT ICE IS A COLOR

<marylou> no sandy

<sandyh> ok

<Jambalaya> icy stickles are irridescent

<sandyh> ty

<Phyl> PHOTO 3 AND 4.

<Phyl> THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS ALSO COLORED WITH WATER COLOR PENCILS CUT IT OUT IN THE SHAPE YOU SEE AND GLUED IT TO THE BACKGROUND TO THE LEFT OF IT, THEN GLUED THAT TO A MEDIUM PURPLE BASE CARD.

<D-E> Oh, I know, MaryLou

<wezz> the pics are not showing up on my pc.... help??

<Phyl> YOU COULD ADD YOUR WORDS TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WITH A COLORED STAMP PAD, BECAUSE YOU CAN STAMP ON THE BABY OIL BACKGROUND PAPERS

<Lynn_e> sorry - gotta run

<sandyh> nice color matching

<Phyl> THAKS SANDY

<Regina> Icy stickles has bigger pieces of glitter than stickles.

<Phyl> QUESTIONS?

<boomersmo> Any special ink required to stamp directly on the bo background

<Phyl> ON THIS CARD?

<wezz> stamp on the oil?? would that ruin your stamp for future stamping??

<sandyh> ty regina

<Rochelle> like the technique did you learn it yourself

<marylou> what type if ink pad did you use for the direct stamping on the baby oil background?

<Phyl> THE COLOR BOX CHALK WORKS GREAT

<Phyl> AS DID THE DOCUMENT INK FROM EVO

<Phyl> THE PAPER IS NOT OILY FEELING AFTER IT SITS OVERNIGHT

<wezz> ah

<sandyh> oh good

<Phyl> JUST GO LIGHTLY WITH THE BABY OIL

<boomersmo> so best to let it dry first before stamping

<marylou> ah haa- that makes more sense to me now

<Phyl> AND IT WON'T GET SATURATED

<Phyl> YES BOOMERSMO

<texasbarb> do you need to put it on anything special while it's drying

<Phyl> NOPE

<texasbarb> ty

<Phyl> SINCE BACK DOES NOT HAVE OIL ON IT IT WILL NOT STAIN

<Regina> did the heat change the colors when you embossed on it?

<boomersmo> I don't understand "back"

<Phyl> NO THEY STAYED THE SAME REGINA

<Phyl> BACK OF THE BACKGROUND PAPER

<boomersmo> TY

<Phyl> BACKSIDE

<Regina> ty

<Phyl> ANY MORE QUESTIONS?

<wezz> it won't run or smear when stamping on it??

<sandyh> the cs is so dry that stray e.p. doesn't stick?

<Phyl> NO IT WON'T WEZZ

<Regina> how did you come up with this technique

<wezz> or does it need heat setting?

<Phyl> IT WILL STICK AFTER YOU FIRST MAKE THEM

<Phyl> LUCK REGINA

<Phyl> NO DOES NOT NEED HEAT SETTING

<Phyl> UNLESS YOU WANT TO USE IT IMMEDIATELY

<pai> Phyl, where do you get all these ideas for cards? :)

<Phyl> THEN YOU COULD TRY DRYING IT OUT WITH A HEAT GUN

<Phyl> I HAVE NIGHTMARES PAI

<wezz> ty

<Regina> good info. I love creating my own background paper.

<sandyh> ok, so i need patience here! hmmmm!

<Judy> almost spit on my puter screen!

<Phyl> PHOTO 5 - BOUQUET OF FLOWERS

<Phyl> I LOVE THIS STAMP. IT HAS A MILLION AND ONE USES. AGAIN WATERCOLOR PENCILS ON MATT CARDSTOCK THEN PUNCHED CORNERS ON DARK PURPLE CARD STOCK AND SLIPPED IT IN AND MOUNTED IT TO A RED CARD AND THEN ONTO THE BABY OIL CARDSTOCK.

<Phyl> OK QUESTION ON THIS ONE?

<cak> the shading on the coloring is phenomenal Phyl

<Phyl> I THINK I HAVE RECOVERED PART OF MY SENSES NOW

<texasbarb> here kathyb, you can have some of mine

<Phyl> THANKS CAK

<Judy> does your corner punch work well?

<Phyl> YES IT DOES JUDY

<kathyb> oh hot. i love the corner punch.

<Judy> rats - guess it is only mine that doesn't

<Judy> beautiful card, Phyl

<Phyl> CHECK THE LOGS FOR THE CLASS ON PUNCHES JUDY

<Phyl> THANKS JUDY

<cak> did you use water to spread the color to the lighter areas?

<marylou> npe I bought one that doesnt work either, judy

<BlackCats> judy, we have a class in our logs by TarotMama on the care and feeding of punches

<Phyl> PHOTO 6 - FAN

<BlackCats> think it's called Punches 101

<Phyl> THE FAN IN THE MIDDLE WAS STAMPED COLORED AND CUT OUT THEN TOOK A SILVER THREAD AND MADE A BOW AND ATTACHED TO THE FAN. THE TWO FANS ON THE CORNERS ARE THE SAME STAMP

<Judy> was nothing there to help my punch, Monica

<Christa> I love your way to color it

<texasbarb> LOVE the fans!!!

<Judy> me too!

<kathyb> can I ask a question?

<Phyl> I JUST STAMPED COLORED AND THEN CUT IT APART UP THE BLADES OF THE FAN. I TOOK A TINY HOLE PUNCH AND PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF EACH BLADE AND ATTACHED THEM WITH A SMALL BRAD.

<Phyl> GO AHEAD KATHY

<Phyl> THANKS CRISTA

<kathyb> would this baby oil tech work with a brayer and inks?

<boomersmo> great idea on the fan blades

<Phyl> WELL NOW THAT IS WORTH A TRY BUT YOU MIGHT MESS UP YOUR INK

<Phyl> AND END UP DILUTING IT TO MUCH

<Phyl> THANKS BOOMERSMO

<kathyb> I was thinking of brayering first; then, the rub rub rub with oil

<Phyl> YOU CAN FAN THEM OUT A LITTLE OR A LOT THEY MAKE GREAT LITTLE BELLIES TO ADD TO ANY CARD.

<Judy> think I need this stamp

<Phyl> HEY KATHY GIVE IT A SHOT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA TO ME

<cak> the color combinations are so elegant

<Phyl> THEY WERE PUT ON THE BABY OIL BACKGROUND WITH FAOM TAPE. THEN THE WHOLE THING WAS GLUED TO A MEDIUM PINK BASE CARD.

<Phyl> OK QUESTIONS

<Phyl> .

<Julie> you can send me this one too phyl :)

<Phyl> LOL JULIE

<Judy> no - send to me, Phyl!

<Phyl> BARBARA WOULD NOT LIKE THAT ONE

<texasbarb> coats of stuff won't even help me...LOL!

<wezz> oh the wonder wash works on this too???

<Phyl> LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AND PUT THE DARKER COLOR AROUND THE EDGE

<Phyl> YELLOW, ORANGE

<Phyl> THEN A LIGHT BROWN

<joy> http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4225926&a=32059749&f=

<boomersmo> Love it!

<texasbarb> love the halo look!!

<wezz> can you do this with baby wipes instead of the oil??

<Phyl> GIVE A GREAT STAMPING PLACE

<Phyl> I HAVEN'T TRIED BABY WIPES BUT I DON'T THINK SO WEZZ

<sandyh> THAT'S where i thought the e.p. would stick all over the cs!

<Phyl> IT WILL STICK TO CARD STOCK

<Phyl> THAT IS WHY I STAMPED ON THEM

<wezz> the wipes will stick??

<sandyh> no.....stray bits

<Phyl> BUT IF YOU ADD SPRINKLES OF EMBOSSING POWDER

<Phyl> IT GIVES A NEW LOOK TO THE BACKGROUND

<texasbarb> what if you use that little bag thingie to help ep NOT stick

<Phyl> JUST SPINKLE AND HEAT

<Phyl> NO BARB THEY STILL STICK

<Phyl> HI STAMPTORT

<stamptort> hi

<sandyh> do you think machine oil would work? i have some from pergammano.

<Phyl> WORTH A TRY SANDY

<wezz> yeah, but it has to dry overnight, right??? the chamber maids will love that when cleaning the hotel room.....
