Goosebumps Resist Background Tutorial

Hello there! Today I have a card using my new The Northwoods stamp set, along with a fun background using Goosebumps texture spray from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko.

To start, I cut a piece of Pure Luxury Ivory card stock, to 3 3/4 by 5 1/4 inches. Then I spritzed some Goosebumps on the paper.

I've found that if you have your card stock close when you spritz, you get a bolder pattern and if you hold it further away, you get a finer mist. Also, be sure to clean the nozzle thoroughly after using to prevent it from clogging. I hadn't cleaned mine well last time and it affected how well it sprayed. Luckily, after using it this time, I was able to get it clean and spritzing perfectly again.

After letting it dry, I sponged Memento Desert Sand ink.

Then sponged Memento Rich Cocoa around the edges.

For the focal layer, I cut & embossed ivory card stock, using Spellbinders™Nestabilities® Matting Basics A, then sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink in the center.

I cut a mask from a sticky note, using Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities, then sponged more Cantaloupe ink around the mask.

Sponged Memento Desert Sand all around.

Then I tore a sticky note to mask off the sky and sponged more Desert Sand ink along the edge of the mask.

I moved the mask lower, then sponged using Memento Rich Cocoa. I kept the sponge dauber very dry, by sponging off on scratch paper first, so it would be fairly light.

I removed the mask, then stamped the tree, from The Northwoods, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Stamped the deer, also with Tuxedo Black.

Using my W5 Copic marker, I drew in some shadows.

 Then added to the shadows with W3.

I layered using Pure Luxury Dark Chocolate card stock and used Ivory for my 4 ¼ by 5 ½ inch card base.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a fabulous day!
