Gesso... my new friend

I have been wanting to play with this stuff for so long.... yesterday I finally picked some up using Hobby Lobby's 40% off coupon!  Then I started picking the brain of my friend Michele, she calmed my nervousness and got me going.

I made this to enter in Unity Stamp Co.'s Friends with Flair

Background & Tag Stamp - Unity Stamp Co. KOTM the Vintage Touch

Butterfly Stamp - Unity Stamp Co. KOTM Summer Love

Liquitex Gesso

Inks - CloseToMyHeart Sorbet, Sunset & Juniper

Grey Cardstock - Stampin' Up

Ribbon - wired edged from His & Hers (Hobby Lobby)


Well, how did I do?

    This is beautiful. I am sure you enjoyed using the Gesso. I picked up some too but haven't opened it yet. The results are gorgeous on your project.

    Nice job.... Gesso is so fun and forgiving... It can cover up an area or tone things down...or use it with a stencil, fun...

    Love it! I got a bottle recently but have yet to play much with it. Maybe I need to pick your brain, my crafty friend!
