CAS Mix Up Challenge Reminder - September 2022 - Gesso - Sweet Spring Flowers

Hello Friends,
Today I am sharing my reminder card for the September CAS Mix Up Challenge hosted by Hilary.  It is a Stencil challenge this month and Hilary is challenging us to use Gesso.  
I started by using a Brayer to apply the Gesso on the Basic Grey card which gave me this very textured effect that you can see on my card.  Let it dry and then attached my cleaned stencil again and applied the colours with make-up brushes and sponge daubers.  I masked off around the different parts of the stencil to keep my colours were I wanted them.  I added the pink mat and the sentiment, both coloured with the same pink Pickled Raspberry Oxide Ink.  I finished off the inside of my card by sponging on the different Oxide colours using the stencil.
Thanks for visiting today, I love to read your comments.
Hugs,
Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Piece of Cake
Card: Basic Grey, Whisper White
Ink: Stazon Black
Distress Oxide Ink: Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon, Dusty Concord, Shabby Shutters, Rustic Wilderness
Finishing Touches: Porta Craft Mini Rhinestones
