Card Using Gesso Resist Technique

I cut an A2-sized card panel and used white gesso through a stencil. It needs to dry thoroughly! I blended Distress Oxides on in three different colors. The color doesn't stay where the gesso is! I had some scraps from previous projects that I had used Color Bursts and Nuvo Shimmer Powders on watercolor paper. I used those to cut the leaves and flowers from Spellbinders dies. I used a sentiment from a Tonic Studios kit in black cardstock Try it out! ... View the Post

Easy Watercolor Wash Card

I've been using a lot of shimmer powders and Color Burst powders lately. I love how fast you can get bold color!
