Gesso Painting with Dye Based Ink



This card was made using gesso (white primer paint found in art departments at craft stores)and dye based ink. I put a little puddle of gesso into a plastic container and used a piece of scrap chipboard that I cut into about the size of a credit card. Then dipped the board into the gesso and applied to the black cardstock in a basket weave pattern. After it dried I applied the ink using a stamping sponge. Next I stamped on the finished background the cat from SU! Cool Cat using Jet Black Archival ink, and the flower were applied using white ink.

Still bitterly cold here today. We are suppose to get temps into the low 40's by Valentine's Day. Here is hoping!!!
