Title says it all...this week's challenge is to find Ways to Use....STAZON! I love stazon, but I do think I need to use it more often. It is so versatile...it's permanent properties make it excellent for watercoloring and it will stamp on just about anything. Plastic, glass, acetate...what could be better. They also have some cool new opaque colors that are on my wishlist for next time I get to a stamping store. Show me how you use your stazon, try out a new idea or something not so new that you haven't tried before.
To share your work and inspiration, please put WT80 in your keywords section and post a link back here. Please feel free to share any tips or technique sheets you may have. You may link up a couple of older samples from your gallery, but please, play along and make something new as well. There is no time limit or limit to the number of creations you make for this challenge and it is not a contest. Just play along, learn something new and have some fun.
Question for those of you using it for watercoloring, do you find that taking a picture or scanning it in washes out your black lines? I used it for this card so I could water color it, the card has no washed out lines on it, they are all nice and dark, and yet in the picture the lines look washed out. Wondering if that is a staz on problem or something else?
Love Staz-on for watercoloring!! I used the brown yesterday for this card: feathered Hope
I'm trying a new technique with it today...hope it works out!

Lisa, do you adjust lightness and sharpen your photo on your computer before you upload? If you overdo it, you can actually wash out the color. Ask me how I know this? lol
Ummmm?? Do I try to think of something new to do with Stazon or do I finish shampooing may carpet today. Maybe I should 'think' about it while cleaning. Thanks Julia

Stazon is a permanent ink that will stamp on any non-porous surface. It is sold on page 224 of the SU catalogue but you can buy it in a whole range of colors at a stamping store and most scrapbooking stores. I think Michael's too.

HTH,
Thank you for the lesson Julia....I will check it out next Tuesday when I go to SU stamp camp!!
I'm hoping to get time to play this evening with my new White stazon.
Thanks for another great challenge Julia S. I can't wait to see everyone's ideas.
Here's what happens when I'm rushed..LOL. I tried to make a shaker card, my first. It was not as easy as it looks! I used the Azure Stazon on the acetate (snowflurries). After I finished, I realized I forgot to color my snowman!
Oh yeah, one that I can do. I use Stazon all of the time, I especially like the timber brown color for watercoloring but here's one that I did with black Gallery at Splitcoaststampers, I used Stazon because the image was stamped on teastained paper before watercoloring. I will also do something new. Thanks for a great challenge.
I mainly use Stazon as my preferred ink when water-coloring, but we made these dominos at stamp clubs this month, using black Stazon to stamp the images. I also like to use colored Stazon to rub on the dominos to get nice colored backgrounds.
Made my card with FOREST FRIENDS . As usual the scan does not make the ribbon match the paper, but of course we all know it really does.!!I was going to shampoo the rest of the carpet that I started yesterday. Be back later to comment and learn of more uses for the stazon.

HTH,
SU claims their classic black is permanent...when it comes to paper only...what's the difference?
I tried the Pearly Window technique again...this time I actually had PearlEx...sadly my scan doesn't really show it neither "pearly" nor "gold"...I used Duo Blue-Green and Interference Gold...both show up nicely IRL...isn't that always the way!
Let's see how craft time with my three year old goes today! If you don't see anything in an hour, you will know something went horribly wrong. Thanks, Julia for the challenge. The wheels are turning!
Finally got mine done today between all the interruptions and DD home sick -- why is it that when you think you are going to have a full day to stamp, something else rears it's ugly head -- which reminds of RoseannRoseannaDana, if it's not one thing, it's another (I can hear Gilda Radner now). Anyhoo, here's my card:
WT80 - Stazon it!
