Like I said yesterday I am doing a week of challenges with my on line cardmaking group and we are to use gesso as a resist, apply gesso to your stamp with either paint brush or foam brush, I used a sponge. I didn't end up having any gesso like I thought I did so I had to use Liquitex Gel medium in Glossy heavy gel. It took all night to dry, then I added my distress inks to the different areas, it sure is a different look then I have ever done before, I may try it again if I ever actually get gesso, I am sure it would probably go on a little smoother than the gel medium did but it worked. You take a baby wipe after your done inking over the gesso and it reveals you stamped image.
Rubber Stampede -- Lily, colored w/distress inks
Distress inks -- picked rasberry, mustard seed, peeled paint
Liquitex -- Gel medium, glossy heavy gel
DCWV -- Primrose paper
Spellbinders -- curved rectangles die
Stamps of life -- mini 4 circles sentiment stamp
Taylored Expressions -- Designer mini tags die
Queen&co. -- snowflake pearls
Hope you all are having a good week, enjoying whatever weather you are having, ours is still very cold, but I am dreaming of spring :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, Love hearing from you,
Connie

Such a beautiful card!!
Great technique and a stunningly beautiful project! It may have actually worked better with the gel medium than the gesso. I've never tried this with gesso though, I must experiment!

I'm going to have to try this. It turned out wonderfully.
