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,

CAS Mix Up Challenge - September 2022 - Gesso - Male Card

Hello Friends,
Hilary is our host for this month's CAS Mix Up Challenge and she is challenging us to use Gesso with our Stencils.  We Welcome Sue (Cards by Q) as our Guest Designer.
I started by sponging Gesso through my stencil, when is was dry I repositioned the clean Stencil and sponged with Distress Ink - Speckled Egg and Weathered Wood and then wiped over the sponging with a Baby Wipe to remove the ink from the Gesso.  I stamped the Car and cut it out with the matching die mounting it on dimensionals.  I added some Wink of Stella to the front grill and hub caps and stamped the Sentiment with Stazon Black.  I did a bit more sponging through the Stencil for the inside of my card and added the die cut cogs.
Thanks for stopping by today, lovely to see you here.
Hugs,
