A little Gesso... and paint!

Happy Sunday! Today I am sharing a layout that I created last weekend.

 

I used paper and embellishments from Teresa Collins Vintage Finds.

 

 

DETAILS:

I started with Gesso and paint from Claudine Hellmuth's Studio Line. Mixing up a couple of colors into the Gesso to make my purple Gesso. I laid a brick stencil down (from Crafter's Workshop) and painted on my Gesso.

 

One tool I am absolutely lost without is my Tiny Attacher from Tim Holtz. I love love love this tool. Here I used it to create the "x"s going up the side of the picture.

 

One thing that I have notice is that so many lines are including these little Bingo Cards. I have so many pieces of paper that have them on there, and yet... have never really used them. One thing I did, above, is fold it up and then attached it to my layout. I really like the look of it and I found that the Bingo Cards are fun to use to add to your layout!

 

I went through the background and circled little phrases here and there that I like.

 

After painting on my brick pattern, I used my paint brush and very lightly brushed a thin layer of Gesso on to the side of my layout.

 



 

I hope you have a wonderful day and are able to find a little time to create too!
