I had seen these before, but never tried them. I went searching for directions and found some at Splitcoast stampers site: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/waterfallcard.php Here are two that I did.

Color Wash projects
I was so amazed at what Zana did with these at a convention. I have one of her samples by my work table. I have never quite been able to completely re-create what she did, but I have adapted my own style with the sprays.

Nancy Curry's Texture Effects Chapter 4
My chapter 4 projects
Botanic- Nancy's directions called for chalk pads, mine were worthless so I improvised with a different type of ink pad. Stamp is from Innovative Stamp Creations
Moose Trio- I didn't have a mesh brayer so I used magic mesh, a mesh brayer I know would have been easier. Stamp is from Embossing Arts
Daisy Creation- Daisy stamp from Stacy's Stamps, words from Lasting Impressions
Fern Diamonds- This one majorly challenged me as I don't have any bold stamps, so I used a shadow stamp instead. For added sparkle, I sprinkled gold ep on the spray webbing while wet and heated real quick. Stamp from Hero Arts.

Nancy Curry's Texture Effects Book Chapter 2
Chapter 2... Nancy's projects are fun to re-create. Here are my projects from chapter 2 of her book.
Happy Birthday Swirls-Stamps: both swirl stamps were from Arte Rojo. Birthstone Kaleidacolor ink pad. HB tag from Bits N Pieces. Texture tags- Left tag -stamp: Texture by Magenta and Sprigs by Ink N Rubberstamps. Right tag -stamp: Oriental bg Magenta and Lanterns by InkaStamps. I used Metallic Copper, Real Burgandy and True Teal acrylic paints on both tags just in varying amounts. I love the almost leather like feel they have.
Perfectly Maps-World Map Stamp by Sunday International
Textured parallels- Stamp is by embossing arts. I used Kaleidacolor Autumn.
Celebration- Magenta stamp on shrink plastic using gold brillance ink.
Kimono- Kimono stamp: Danalen BG stamp: Rubber Stamp Plantation

Nancy Curry's Texture Effects Book Chapter 1
Here are some of the projects I made using Nancy Curry's book as inspiration. These were made many moons ago.
Oriental Lillies-I used a photo that I had taken from my flower garden for this one. Was given to my mom for Mother's Day.
Oriental village- Kaliedacolor ink palette Autumn and Caribbean. Stamp from Another Stamp Co. I am not happy with the top of this one...might just rip it off and try again.
Kite fish- Used Kaliedacolor ink palette Caribbean. Stamps: fish kites from Inka Stamps, words from Stamp Studio.

Strawberries-- This was my 3rd attempt that did not go in the trash bin. The spectra tissue doesn't show up well as I used red then like an idiot, used red ink. Stamp: Wood Cellar Graphics.
Sprigs 1- I love this technique...I have been doing it for a while using chalks, never thought about using inks...duh! (I used distress inks for this project) Sprig stamp: Rubber Stampede, Inspiration stamp: Lost Coast Stamps.
Sprigs--Same stamp as previous, just different ink colors and cream organza added....I did this card for my step-daughter's wedding shower.
Music--I used Kaliedacolor Birthday for this one. Music is a gift stamp: Stamps Happen, Music notes: Stampendous, Kokopelli: ArteRojo.Sunday, January 20, 2008
Making the switch
Well, I have decided that trying to keep up a normal website (yeah right, like I have time) for my krafty stuff isn't working for me anymore. My plan is to gradually move stuff over to this with pictures and directions. Might take me a while as I have to get it all figured out.
