Fossil Stone Technique!

[reneejul1]

This was a new technique to me, so I thought I'd put a tutorial together.
Here is 2 links to a couple of cards I made:

Fossil Joy , Fossiled Tree

Leave your email address as a post, so I can send you the file.

Julie is it possible to upload your directions here to the site rather than e-mailing each person seperately?
Thanks!

I really wish I could, it would help me out. I emailed them to Beate already, but it is in a jpeg file. I made it on a collage program. I could email it to you as well, and then you could figure out how???? I am some what computer literate, but in so many ways, NOT! LOL

Here are the pictures and directions Julie is sharing. Looks like a fun technique and another good use for glossy cardstock!

Thanks for sharing, Julie!

Thanks Jen, I never thought I'd send so many emails out in one day...LOL. Though, I shoulda known, when I hear of something new, I want the info too!

[reneejul1]

I've tried this with Mellow Moss and Creamy Caramel. I love your choices of the greens.

Has anyone else done this, and what ink colours did you use?

Thanks again for sharing, its a great document! :-)

[scrown8301]

Oh how fun! I'm gonna have to go get some of those file folder things. Thanks for sharing!

[pattif]

You are very welcome, thanks for all the PMs everyone!

[cobrielle]

Thanks so much for sharing this tutorial!! It's great!

[sunny36]

What stamp sets would look good stamped on a piece of c/stock done with this technique?

I did one with Nature Prints, but now that the Summer Mini is finished, so is demo-ing Nature Prints!

Julie, your Lovely as a Tree is beautiful, as is the snowflake, any other possibilites out there? I know there's such a creative group of ladies here, I'm sure there must be countless ideas! :-)

[mnhyrkas]

really neat tutorial. It really seems to look like a faux alcohol ink project. Can wait to see some other samples

[NiceRAK]

great technique and samples!

[Kristy Davis]

Great technique! Thanks for sharing this. I can't wait to show the ladies that I stamp with!

[casmiles]

I do something very similar to this technique, but it's more mottled. I'm unable to open the tutorial. Could someone please send to me directly- [email protected]. Thanks!!!

[Barbra1224]

This is really cool! Thanks Julie!

[mommamea]

Thank you this is great.

[bemidjibelle]

Thanks for the great tutorial!!! Here's a card I made for autumn.... the technique looked kinda a close up of a leaf when I put the card together!

For some reason I can not open any of the tutorials for the Fossile Stone technique. I love the look and want desperately to know how to do it.
Thank you in advance. [email protected]

[allamericanstampers]

Thanks so much for posting this techinique and the great samples!! (Sue your leaf looks great!) I think I may have to try it with the Nature Prints and some skeleton leaves from TAC--but, not at the same time!

[GmaWash]

Thanks so much for sharing this technique. I love the effect and am gathering materials to try it right now! I love all the wonderful new things I learn here. You guys are great!!

[momil5000]

I sent Cindy and LeeAnne (above) the file via email and it opened successfully. I love the tutorial and am anxious to try it!

[Frisky Feline]

Wanted to thank you for sharing not only your lovely samples, but the technique as well. I can't wait to give this a try. It looks like a lot of fun. Thanks again.

[reneejul1]

I just emailed all who could not open the pdf. HTH

[Birdieaugust69]

Hello! I loved your fossil technique, unfortunately, I can't open the tutorial. Could you please e-mail it to me. Thank you!! Annie [email protected]

[reneejul1]

Some new colors I have tried are : bravo burgendy with pretty in pink, so saffron with certainly celery, bashful blue with brilliant blue, perfect plum with elegant eggplant.

[CorSai]

I love the looks of these techique as well. How ever I am one of those that can't open it either. Could some try emailing them to me [email protected]. Thank you.

[kaschroer]

I also cannot open the file! Please send to me at [email protected]
Thanks so much!

[qvande]

I tried this technique last night and it turned out really cool. I used really rust and pumpkin pie. The next time I will use more of a contrast. I'm going to emboss leaves in gold on it. Thanks for posting this technique.

[alcesalces]

I want to try Not Quite Navy and Handsome Hunter for that Campbell plaid kind of color scheme.

[inkyimages]

I just tried this technique and love it. I'm going to teach it at my stamping clubs in October and I think I'll use the Country Blessing set since that's the stamp set I'll be focusing on next month. I think it will look great with the leaves! Hopefully that will help motivate my stampers to purchase the Autumn Elegance Kit!

Greetings Louise,

Yes, we do understand that many cannot open the .pdf files directly from SplitCoastStampers... self included

For your enjoyment, the file should be arriving very shortly via email.

In the future, when you want to see/save these file types, simply right click on the file... then click on "save target as"... download it to your desktop... and from there it will open for you (providing you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer).

Hoping this helps and do have a FUNtastic day!

Dancing Rain

[kaschroer]

Dancing Rain, You are the BEST for taking pity on those of us who are computer illiterates! I just received the file you e-mailed...thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Karen
