OK I admit it I'm officially hooked on Gesso! As a result I couldn't resist using it on this weeks Delicious Doodles challenge card. The theme this week is to use some LACE in your project. So here it is....
Anyway I've used Gesso to stamp the cow parsley and have then inked the card with Distress Inks and then finished it off with a blast of Glimmer Mist. The butterflies have been coloured with Promarkers, shaped and then stickled before being added to the background using silicone glue. Faux stitching has been added using a gold gel pen and brown ultra-fine liner.
I'm going to call that it for now as blogger will probably throw another hissy fit and wipe my post!!
Have a great weekend and thanks as always for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Claire - I've never heard of Gesso before but assume it a textured paint of some sort. Anyway it looks fab and so do those butterflies, they are absolutely stunning.
