Stamp Connection #50

Hi Everyone,

Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from Little Art Cottage and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 2rd Sunday of the month and this is our 50th transatlantic get-together!


This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements:
try a new technique
I choose the gesso resist technique that a long time ago was featured on A Blog named Hero.



It is quite easy. You take a stamp and add gesso to it. wait for it to dry and then sponge over it. Wipe the ink from the gesso with a wet rag. I used a Hero Art background stamp. The die cut is from Altenew. I die cut it with black card stock and glittered it.



Lets check out  Tanja's artwork!

Happy Stamping!
