GooseBump Resist Technique

With a name like "GooseBump" I probably should have saved this technique for Halloween, but it's a newish product by Tsukineko and I saw this technique used with Dreamweaver Stencils at the CHA this year, and I had to try it out!

 

"GooseBumps" is a texture spray that I liken to a watered down Glossy Accents, and it comes in a spray bottle, so you can spray "texture" onto your projects.  In this case, I used it as a resist technique to show off my Daisy Stencil LM 548.

The First step to this technique is to create your "Under Colour".  This can be done with a rainbow ink pad like "Big & Juicy" or "Spectrum", but I just rubbed my Tsukineko Rhubarb and Potters Clay ink pads directly to my Cream coloured cardstock.

I then placed the stencil on my Inked cardstock, and sprayed the entire thing with GooseBumps.

The first time I did this, I over sprayed, and the liquid leaked under the stencil, but with a little practice, the "right" consistency became easy to detect. I just sprayed until I saw the entire image glisten a little (you won't be able to see it in the photo)

Now, I got so caught up in my technique that I forgot to take pictures of each step along the way, so Maureen let me take pictures of her steps as I taught her this technique in class this week.  (Thanks Maureen!!) and that's why there is a Hot Air Balloon LL 3003 in my photo, not my Daisies, oopsie!

We have to wait for the GooseBumps to dry, and the time needed will depend on how thick you've sprayed it onto your cardstock, but about 10-15 minutes should be enough.

Once the GooseBumps was dried, I used a Brayer to apply my Tsukineko Bamboo Leaves Ink over the entire image.  The GooseBumps will resist the Ink but cover your background making the Stenciled Image Pop.  Be sure to have a paper towel handy to wipe off the excess ink from the Resisted Image.

 

Again, it sounds like there are a lot of steps, but all in all, it took about 20 minutes to complete, including drying time.  And that's just how I like it!  Fast, but Fabulous!
