Goosebumps

Instead of telling you guys how I made the butterflies I decided to make something else with the goose bumps and show you step by step with something else! :)

Supplies you need:

Goosebumps (Of Course hahah!)
Stamp
Ink ( I am using TH Distress Ink)
Stamp Cleaner
Something to apply Goosebumps (I am using a TH Applicator)
A Paper Towel or Tissue



 Then you spray your applicator with the goosebumps. You can't really see but the felt is wet.
 Then you use the applicator to ink your stamp pad. :)  Then you stamp your paper, it will **STICK** to the paper so be careful when you pull your stamp off. You do not want to rip the paper in the process.  You let it dry for a minute or so depending on how thick the goosebumps is on the stamp.

**IMPORTANT**
YOU HAVE TO CLEAN YOUR STAMP OFF RIGHT AWAY! DONT LET IT SIT WITH THE GOOSEBUMPS ON IT DRIES VERY QUICKLY AND ITS HARD TO GET OFF LATER.

This is what your paper is going to look like after you stamp it.




 This is what it looked like after using the first color, Antique Linen. You can see the Image starting to show up. (^) The second color I used was Broken China (<). You can see with the darker colors it starts to show up a lot better! The last color I used on the bunnies was Fired Brick (˅) You an really see the image now! :)                          


 You then use your tissue after you have inked you image the way you want it, and wipe off the goosebumps part and it makes it a lot more clear! I use Peeled Paint after and inked the outside edge of the card.




And there you have the finished product! A goosebumps and Distressed Ink Easter Card. :) I made the butterfly in my Playing Around post. :) There you have it. Sorry the post was late, I haven't been feeling the greatest today. I will try tomorrow to post the other way to use the goosebumps. I will be using it as a texture not a resist.




Until Next Time :)

Blonde Moment

So after reading Korys comment on Playing around I realized that I had forgot to tell you all how I did the butterflies with the goosebumps.... :( hahaha total blonde moment I was so tired and had to be to work in 4 hours and had not been to bed yet.  So as soon as I can I will post how I did it. :) I hate being tired! I am going to Columbus in a few hours right after work, I might try to post the instructions on my way down (no I am not driving hahaha) instead of texting and driving I would start blogging and driving ahahah. Anyways I will try if not for sure they will be up first thing tomorrow morning after I wake up! I promise!

Until Next Time :)

Playing Around

I got some time to play around tonight, even though I should have been sleeping.

I got out all 4 of my distress inks and my goosebumps with all intentions of making two (2)  baby shower cards for tomorrow (Saturday). I will be driving down south tomorrow after work to attend a Birthday and Baby Shower. I also missed my Brothers Baby Shower due to work so I will be taking there gift down as well.

I had this very cute idea and was glad that I started to play around with all my new stuff, before I decided to try tot make the cards, my idea wouldn't have worked. I still had fun playing around with my new toys, even though I never did get even one card finished! This is what I get for waiting until 12 hours before I leave for the baby shower. hahaha I guess I will have to go with store bought and just start on a card for when they have the babies!

Anyways here is what I did while I was playing around, I think that I might make a little album out of it or maybe cut shapes out of them and use them on LO and things like that, not sure yet.

After hours of hunting and being let down I finally found my Fired Brick! I was so happy, in the process I bought Peeled Paint, and Antique Linen. I also have an order on Js.com for the Broken China Reinker and Fired Brick Rinker. I also have Black Soot, and Milled Lavendar, and the Clear Embossing pad coming! I can't wait until they get here! I will have some more playing around to do!






The Goosebumps spray is fun but it will take some getting use too. I will have to play with it a lot more before I use it on anything. More fun for another day!








Until Next Time! ^_^
