Renee Zarate's Bolton House is still in New England but Renee herself has moved on to South Carolina. The days are a little different now, no garden to take care of means more studio time. Dealing with snow and blizzards will be a thing of the past but there will be new challenges. Challenges like...how will we ever carry these two chairs and this huge umbrella down to the beach? Stay tuned.

Stampotique Designer's Challenge 70::Backgrounds
Time for a Stampotique Challenge! This time it is "Backgrounds". I took a class a couple of weeks ago at my LSS with John from Tsukinedo, they produce Memento inks and several other really cool products. I fell in love with a product called Goosebumps. It reminds me of liquid plastic in a spray bottle. I used it to spray through stencils. After it dries you can ink over it and then wipe off the excess ink. It provides a resist similar to embossing. The texture of it feels like rubber, it is pretty amazing stuff. John also re-introduced me to Memento inks. I don't how I've drifted away from using them but the colors he had us working with are delicious: Peanut Brittle, Pistachio, Morocco (my fave) and Espresso Truffle. Here is a fall ispired tag I made using all these colors and of course the Goosebumps.
I used Goosebumps with a stencil on the bottom of the tag and then stamped the word FLY in the Goosebumps and stamped it next to the bird.
