CAS Mix Up Challenge Reminder - May 2020 - Gesso Resist - Hollyhocks

Good Morning,
This post is the reminder for the CAS Mix Up Challenge this month.  This was my first go with the Gesso and initially I wasn't happy with the effect and discarded it.  Then I decided to try using my Alcohol Sprays, some of which would spray and others that refused too.  I persevered and liked the outcome and made it into this card.  The shine is amazing, the Green Mat was also sprayed as none of my coloured card matched the spray colours.  The flowers were die cut and the centres inlaid back into them three times for some dimension.  The Sentiment was Heat Embossed and Punched out using the Classic Label Punch from Stampin' Up!  Hope you will join us and play along.

CAS Mix Up Challenge - May 2020 - Speckled Gesso Resist - Sunset

Hello,
Welcome to a new CAS Mix Up Challenge, this month we are being challenged to use Gesso Resist by Linda.  I found a You Tube Video by Kim Schofield that uses a Credit Card to get this amazing effect with Gesso.  Once my Gesso was dry I Ink Smooshed with Distress Inks, cut my Die Cut and did some Ink Sponging around the edges.  To complete my card I randomly stamped a word stamp, stamped the main image and finished off with the Sentiment and decorated the inside of my card.

Speckled Gesso Resist, Sponging, Watercolour Smooshing, Stamping, Die Cut
