Hello there! I'm just popping in to remind you about this month's CAS Mix Up Challenge! It's a stencil challenge hosted by Hilary and the prompt is 'GESSO'.
Here is HILARY'S MESSAGE ...
Gesso is primarily a surface primer that gives a uniform surface and is often used in mixed media projects, but in reality it can be much more than that. This month we would love to see you use gesso on your card along with your stencils. Hilary has included some video links bon the challenge blog to help inspire you.
I made a stencil with the leaf die and then carefully sponged the Gesso through the stencil. I actually watered down the Gesso, because it was a bit thick. When dry, I sponged Distress Ink over the panel and then used a slightly damp tissue to clean the ink off the Gesso.
I splattered some White Gouache and Gold paint over this. To finish I stamped and embossed the sentiment and mounted with a narrow Matte on the base card.

You can find more inspiration over on the CAS Mix Up Blog from our Designer Team. We hope you'll be inspired to join the challenge.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)
I love the stenciled leaves behind the die cut and the lovely Fall colors, Jenny! Just beautiful, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and creative way to use your die by cutting a stencil to use on your Gorgeous Gesso stenciled leaves, Jenny. Love how you added the Fall colored die cut leaves and your beautiful sponged background. Wonderful heat embossed stamped sentiment too. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
