Hi folks! Sorry for the posting delay...it is Monday, of course, so we're a bit slow moving this morning! :-) Today I'm sharing a sweet ATC that I created using a gesso resist stamping technique. This was one of my projects that I created for last week's Feed Your Creativity video. You can see the video at the end of this post, as well as product links.
For this project I stared by using the Be Brave stamp from the She Sprouted Wings stamp set, covered in gesso, to stamp all over the background of a ATC (this is a manila ATC...love using manila in projects as it's so hardy and can stand up to paints, stains, and water). Once the gesso was dry I used a number of Distress Stains to color the background...the gesso acts as a resist! (You can see the technique in the video)
I then added some tissue tape and a piece of film strip (both from Idea-ology) down the right side of the ATC. My fancy lady was stamped on a scrap piece of manila, colored with Distress Markers, and attached to the ATC with foam tape. The fun sentiment is a stamp I picked up from my local store years ago...love that I was able to finally use it on this project! A tiny metal crown was the final touch! Enjoy and be sure to check out the video and product list below!
