Goosebumps Texture Spray

Goosebumps Texture Spray is a little bottle of clear texture that also acts as a resist.  It dries quite quickly but can also be dried with a heat gun and works wonderfully when used in conjunction with the Ranger Distress Inks and sponges for application.  In the first atc below, Germinate, I stamped first with Ranger Archival Black Ink and then spritzed with the Goosebumps, then applied some Glimmer Mist in Turquoise.  I then used a damp paper towel to wipe off the Glimmer Mist from the sprayed area of the Goosebumps.  Love the effect!!!  The others were done using the Distress Inks and sponges after stamping and spraying with Goosebumps.  I'm going to have a bit more of a play and see what else this little bottle of magic can do!

"Germinate"...

Finally, a couple more from the Faux Dominoes technique that was the class before Ancient Paper.

Ancient Paper

The technique for this fortnight is called Ancient Paper.  We'll be using Ranger Distress Ink Pads, Glossy Accents (or Dimensional Magic) and the base that we're working on is the humble brown paper bag.   This techique makes a surprisingly strong piece of paper because of the addition of the Glossy Accents, strong enough to actually even die-cut shapes out of it if you choose. 
 
"Living Hearts"... (love corrugated card & microbeads together!)
 
 
"Snow White"...
 
 
"Innocent"...
 
 
"What is art"...
 


 
Finally an atc from the last class, Faux Dominoes, "Unique"...
(The corrugated card down the sides is glimmer misted cardstock run through a paper crimper!  Works perfectly if you don't have the right colour of corrugated card to co-ordinate with your work.   Drag that paper crimper out that's lurking in the bottom of a box somewhere in your craft room and put it to use.)
