Stempel Spass

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! Linking up with:

Hi Everyone, its INSPIRATION day at  STAMPlorations !  The DT girls made some beautiful cards to entice you playing with your stamps - STAMPlorations or otherwise.....  I am playing with the set  Trendy Butterflies . I inked them up with Gesso - trying the Gesso resist technique. Not sure if I am happy with it. I like my images crisp, not smudgy.... sloshed some water color around the butterflies - the resist worked only partially.....Stamped the sentiments onto watercolor paper - to have the same colored paper and colored the large word with the same colors as the watercolor background. You can see it if you look carefully.... So, if you are up for it - CASE my card or any other card and link it up over at STAMPlorations. The InLinkz gallery  will be open until the 5th of April - givse you plenty of time! One winner will be randomly drawn from all entries to win a $15 gift certificate or their choice of any 2 ARTplorations stencils. ...
