"Distressed Gesso" for "SaWo"


The challenge at Saturday Workout this week is to make a piece with a distressed gesso background.
Well I've had a go at it and added a transfer done onto clear sticky packaging tape. I really enjoyed sploshing around and making a lovely mess !
Here's my ATC....and thanks for the challenge guys !
The "distressed Gesso Background Technique" has a tutorial on the wonderful Trish Bee's blog. You can read it here

Altered Tin for "SaWo" and "Objet D'art"


Here is a band-aid tin I've altered for the challenges on "Saturday's Workout" and "Objet D'art"
I sanded the tin and then painted it with 2 coats of gesso. When it was dry I put versamark ink on it and embossed it with an assortment of powders....then I added the embellishments.
I hope you like it !
(It is just right for holding ATC's !)
