It certainly wasn't as easy as I thought it would be - plus it was a *lot* more messy - but I did have fun with it.
First I brayered Creole Spice Kaleidacolor pad on a piece of watercolor paper, then sprayed (and dipped) the edges once it was dry. I stamped the tree in Charcoal chalk ink, then went over some of the dots with both a white pen and a silvery glitter pen (which was also used on parts of the trunk).The sentiment was stamped on a leftover piece of the original watercolor paper in Charcoal ink - then went over with the same silvery pen.
I really like the final product, but it will be a while before I pull out that spray bottle again! (there are *still* gesso spots on all my pens and pencils!)
Now, back to Christmas cards! :)
Thanks for visiting!

Gorgeous card!!! I LOVE spraying gesso!!! And, yes, it can get messy.... putting the piece in a box before spraying is a way to control that mess and still have the fun of spraying.
arrrrgh! i just typed a comment but it didn't POST and now it's gone...
well, anyway, i definitely ♥LOVE♥ this gorgeous piece of art enough to tell you TWICE that it's astonishing and well worth the effort involved!!! (tho i myself will not be assaying gesso-scattering hijinks...at least not until spring!) :)
This is gorgeous!! love the colors!
How's it going?
I just found your blog and I think it's great. I like reading personal blogs, and I find it a lot better than most other categories. Listen, I have a blog myself that provides inspiration and guidance to millions of people around the world. I would like us to do a link exchange and spread some traffic around. Let me know what you think.
