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!

Faux Dominoes

The second technique for Book Number 9 is Faux Dominoes.   I have used both the large and smaller sized real dominoes on atc's before but I've found they are harder to get hold of these days so I wanted to do a similar look but with products that are easily available.   So these are made from plain white cardstock, stamps, some form of colouring (distress ink pads, distress stains, distress markers... seeing a theme here???), then covered with clear embossing powder for a beautiful glossy finish.  Raising the pieces on foam tape also adds to the illusion of depth, which is why the backgrounds are not as clear as the raised areas.  As you can see I've used different backgrounds from my various techniques that I've taught over the years and they are mostly covered up but I still like to use handmade backgrounds over a purchased piece of scrapbook paper, unless of course you do something to said scrapbook paper....stamp, ink, emboss, paint etc.

 "Eternal Oblivion"... (corrugated card background)

"Art"... (credit card technique background)

"waiting"... (painted canvas background)

This one below is actually a 4" x 6" card rather than an atc so the domino pieces are made larger.  I occasionally make a card to show my students that you can incorporate the techniques they learn in my classes into cards, not just make atc's with them.  As you can see, this is a perfect example of a particular technique that lends itself wonderfully to a card.  

More samples to follow after my classes.
