get out the gesso, black paper, and glimmermists.....

[Ruth Ann Landry]

I played a little on Tues...had to work Wed...and here is the result.

This technique used gesso stamped on black cardstock and spritzed with glimmer mists.
1. stamp an image...I used larger background stamps...onto black cardstock and dry.
2. spray dried image with glimmermists....i found the more you spray, the brighter the color...dry.
3. in the duller pen nib image, i also overstamped with black stazon using the alphabet stamp....


I have more drying and will show what I've come up with. I also used some walnut tintz ink dabbers on a couple with good results. Sorry for the glare in some of the photos..that glimmermist is really shiny!

plain black cs or glossy cs?

these came out really cool!

[Ruth Ann Landry]

i think either will work...i don't have glossy actually...the idea is that the glimmermists won't affect the black color...

[Ruth Ann Landry]

i just sprayed one with memory mist and the colors are much more vibrant...I'm sure you could use just about anything that strikes your fancy!

Really cool!! I've been on a Glimmer Mist kick and have picked up more colors. I will definitely have to try this. Thanks Ruth Ann!!!

Awesome! I'll bet that would look especially cool on some of that Cruisin' black. Or maybe that would just be sparkle overload.

Well, the gesso is still out. Guess I'm going to play around with it again today. Very cool Ruth Ann!

[Ruth Ann Landry]
