JUL19VSNH ~ Fossil Stone Technique ~ Saturday, July 6, 3 pm ET
Challenge Title: Fossil Stone Technique
Hostess: Melody (aka lacyquilter)
Keyword: JUL19VSNH<style type="text/css"></style>
Date: Saturday, July 6 -- 3:00 P.M. EST
Hi Everyone. I'm so happy to be your hostess for the next challenge. My challenge today is to make a fossil stone background. It's really a very easy technique, and on the plus side, you get two pieces to work with.
If you do not have a report cover, you can substitute any of these: 2 transparency sheets
cut open a ziplock type bag
cut open a plastic grocery bag (this is my favorite).
I also like to spritz the ink very lightly with water.
You are not limited to glossy card stock.
The samples below are glossy card stock, regular white card stock, and photo paper. Although the same inks were used for all three, each reacts differently to the ink and results in a completely unique look.

A special thanks to Sonja, Anita, Marg, and Kelly for making samples.
Here is mine Melody! I have a whole bunch of panels of this now. I used to colors on this one, but they were to close to the same. I have some other though that show two colors.
Thank you for the new technique!
Melody, this was such a fun challenge. Here's my card.

So, just so you know I tried this the other day because of the peek... and one half of it was used for my upcoming dare to get dirty challenge sample... so, now I am kicking around ideas for the other piece.
I really wanted to try this technique out some time. Since I managed to make a quick card and it's still within the upload timeframe, here it is. Thanks for a super-fun technique, Melody.
I used a page protector I cut 2 sides off of. I was really amazed--& impressed--at how well this turned out! And now I have another Christmas card for this year. Thanks for the challenge and instructions!
