Thank you to those of you who sent me the file for this (as I couldn't open the one on the list). I have also forwarded to those who saw my post and asked me to send it on as well. I've got the materials out on the table, and Saturday I am PLAYING. Thanks again!
I'm seeing gorgeous cards but I'm having trouble getting the directions for fossil stone. Could you please forward to me.
TIA,

I just did the technique using Pumpkin Pie & Chocolate Chip. Then I stamped the turtle from Nature Prints (summer mini 2006) on the glossy, its gorgeous!! I haven't gotten any further than that yet, but will try to remember to post the card when done. What a great technique, quick, easy to demo, and impressive!! :-)
I demoed this at a workshop on Saturday and everyone was VERY wow'd by this technique! They were all bouncing ideas off of each other. It was the hit of the workshop, and it competed against the embossed pastels and a slider card! Needless to say I sold multiple packs of glossy cardstock, and a brayer!
Thanks for sharing this technique! It is so fun and simple to do.

Hello! I am dying to try this technique! I have a question though - has anyone tried page protectors instead of transparencies? And can they be wiped clean to re-use again for more smooshing?
well, i got up this morning, posted my own technique that i am sure someone else already discovered but i just fell into it last night and then saw yours, still could not sleep, so got out my supplies and my is it beautiful, i used reinkers also, added a few drops of different colors on each side, stirred them around with a brush, glorious green and magenta, then smushed it and put in regular cheap white card stock from michaels, oh my, turned out so lovely, not glossy and more muted than using glossy, thanks for the lovely tutorial

Katie, as long as it's made from acetate, it can be anything. We used to use report covers, you know the things that are like a big folded piece of acetate, with a plastic "spine" that you slide over the spine fold. So, report covers, transparencies, whatever. I'm not sure if your page protectors will work, because generally I think they are not as stiff a plastic, kwim? However, I belong to the "can't hurt to try!" club, lol....
I bought some page protectors from Costco and tried one of those...BUT, I didn't notice that the plastic has a texture to it that interferes with the technique. Other type of page protectors work great, but for some reason this one doesn't.
Thanks so much for posting the tutorial on here..... it's a great technique.... I can't wait to use it.... I have so many plastic folders left over from my "college days" that I'm happy to finally have a use for them!

Help Help when I try to open the file my adobe reader states the file has been damaged and can not be opened. Would some please e-mail this to me....MaryAnn [email protected] thanks in advance
Well, last nite I tryed the technique the way I thought it was done. But I finally got the tutorial to work,once I followed the directions. So now I'm going to try the right way to do it. The other kinda looks like polished stone. I'm just OCD.....
Julie, thanks for your very clear instructions on the fossil stone tech. I can't wait to try. Almost as much fun as finger painting and way less messy :-) Nancy
I hate to add to the request list - I am having trouble opening the pdf's have uninstalled and reinstalled adobe and no luck - could someone send me the tutorial for this to [email protected] Thanks so much!

I've used only Staples brand page protectors so far to do this technique. They've worked beautifully. I've even given a class in it, and it worked well for the students, too.
As for colour combinations, I've done mostly monochromatic, i.e. light and darker versions on the same colour. I've also combined yoyo yellow and only orange to do a fall flavour with Lovely As A Tree and with the couple in Summer by the Sea. Once, I've done So Saffron with Cranberry Crisp. Most of these are on my gallery.
