Gesso resist background paper


Am I ever behind! I'll blame it on springtime and the garden :)

It rained all day so I took some time to play- this is the gesso resist from Trish B. Of course as usual I only had some of the materials for the technique... I didn't have any gloss black card stock, but I did have a can of gloss black spray paint! I used a paper doily as my stencil and applied white gesso as directed. No bright primary colors, so I used what I had. I love this technique and will definitely use it again!

Tall and Skinny Pages




OMG- I made 27 of these for a wonderfully anticipated tall and skinny book! The theme is people doing unusual things with animals LOL. I used some micro beads on the bottom of the front and stamped the background in multi layers, speckling for good measure. The back is a little simpler, but continues the theme. I cannot wait to get the completed book!
