WT80 - Stazon it!
 
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.

Have a fabulous, stamping day,

sounds great! Thanks for posting!

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?

Stazon, hmmm....thanks Julia!

hollerinastamps 09-28-2006 05:07 AM

It's not all washed out so I think it's the light hitting it in some places. Cute card!

BadSherry 09-28-2006 05:09 AM

Great challenge Julia -- only have black, but I think I can work with it!

hollerinastamps 09-28-2006 05:10 AM

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!

Barbra1224 09-28-2006 05:16 AM

Gosh, Julia! Stazon is the only black I use! :) No sweat!

lacyquilter 09-28-2006 05:25 AM

Ooo, I use stazon all the time. Great challenge, Julia.

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

Cool challenge. I used stazon last night on two photo cards. This will be easy.

DawnL 09-28-2006 05:34 AM

looking forward to it Julia! thanks!

reneejul1 09-28-2006 05:37 AM

I'll get right on it - no one is awake yet!!

Cool! I was just playing around with Stazon to stamp on an Embossed Resist tulip card for my DDIL.
Here it is:

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

Mothermark 09-28-2006 06:01 AM

Can't do this one. I don't have any and I have no clue what it even is! I need to get educated!

reneejul1 09-28-2006 06:20 AM

Here is what I made this morning! I never did the altered game pieces TLC, so I got the push I needed, 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!!

hollerinastamps 09-28-2006 06:33 AM

Here's my card: sunflowers
It uses Stazon 2 different ways. Thanks for the challenge, Julia!

jojot 09-28-2006 06:40 AM

Thanks for the challenge.....will hafta get to it later.....

kittie747 09-28-2006 06:47 AM

Fun, Julia! I use black stazon on every dard that I make....well almost. I never use anything else when I'm watercoloring. Stazon is a great product.

ematson 09-28-2006 06:54 AM

Yippee! I happened to use Black stazon for the card I made this morning. So, here is my card using black stazon with the WWCrayons.

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.

MyPrecious 09-28-2006 06:55 AM

Oh - I need to make a coaster for my bedside table.....

No - not for my glass of scotch....(snicker)....for my glass of water (which I bring to bed every night....

I must make something blue!!! Off to create....

Toy 09-28-2006 07:23 AM

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!

Anywho, here's:

jodieg3 09-28-2006 07:23 AM

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 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=84222, I used Stazon because the image was stamped on teastained paper before watercoloring. I will also do something new. Thanks for a great challenge.

cjzim 09-28-2006 07:46 AM

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.

golly 09-28-2006 07:47 AM

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.

Julia S 09-28-2006 08:02 AM

I have had this plastic front notepad on my desk to do something with for awhile...this seemed like the perfect challenge...

HTH,

SU claims their classic black is permanent...when it comes to paper only...what's the difference?

This was fun Thanks Julia here's mine

anyone else having problems uploading, or is my 'puter just wonky today?

katieg 09-28-2006 08:32 AM

Never mind, it's fine now. Here's mine

etlsmom 09-28-2006 08:40 AM

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!

I gave it a shot...here's my Grecian Urn

Here's my combo!! thanks Julia this challenge gave me the opportunity to watercolor. tfl~

crooked river 09-28-2006 09:52 AM

I'd only ever used StazOn for Prismas and Gamsol, so it was fun to do something different. Thanks, Julia!

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!

BadSherry 09-28-2006 10:23 AM

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:
