CAS Mix Up May Gesso Resist

I was excited to see that CAS Mix Up's May Challenge is Gesso Resist!

My Gesso has been neglected.
I used Gesso Resist, Stamping and Die Cutting.

Linda is hosting the Challenge and shared with us an inspiring list of 

Gesso Resist video techniques.

I loved Susan's DT launch card and used her credit card Gesso Resist technique.

Check out her Cat's Ink.Corporated blog for more details.

I am adding my CAS Christmas Tag Cards also to the

CAS Christmas Card May Challenge: Winter Berries. Hosted by Loll.

I was inspired by Loll's gorgeous card to use my Strathmore Tan Mixed Media paper!

Here are my cards...Enjoy!

I die cut 2 Strathmore Tan Mixed Media paper tags using CUTplorations

"Stitched Tags Nesting Dies". 

Then used a palette knife to scoop out a bit of Gesso onto my glass mat and

used an old gift card to dip the narrow edge into the Gesso and

make swipes going different directions onto both tags.  Let dry.

Sponged Distress Oxide Inks: Candied Apple and Lucky Clover onto tags and sponged

Vintage Photo onto edge of tags.

Die cut Never Before Used SSS "Christmas Foliage Dies" and attached to tags with 

Fine Tip Glue Pen. 

Colored Winter berries with Zig pen. 

Added SU "Merriest Wishes" sentiments and ribbon to both tags.

Popped up tags with white craft foam and attached to SU Whisper White 100#

cardbase and Done!

I loved the Gesso Resist Technique and how the Tan MM gave more muted colors.

Sharing larger photos of each card so you can see the Gesso better...Enjoy!

You have until the 24th to play along in the challenges.

Stay safe and Creative my friends.  Hugs..
