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.
