Textures Backgrounds and Acrylic Inks

Hi!!!

I can't wait to show you these background I made.

I love making cards but I don't like to make them so three dimensional that it costs more to the mail them.

Using Liquitex Super Heavy Gesso and Acrylic Inks I created really cool textured backgrounds in some fun colors. 

 

I don't have step by step pictures because I was playing and didn't know if it would work.

 

I cut mixed media paper to fit the front of the card.

I added the Believe Script stencil to the background with black acrylic paint.

Using a texture tool I spread super heavy gesso on the card and while it was still wet I dropped paint on and let it do it's thing.

 

Here is a close up.

 

On each card I added:

Mini Shadow Tree Stencil from The Crafter's Workshop

Raven stamp from Stampers Anonymous-Tim Holtz Halloween Blueprint stamp set

 

The Raven I stamped on mixed media paper, cut it out, used paint to add color and to add something different I used TCW stencils (sorry don't remember which stencils I used) to add designs to each bird.  I used a stamp from Red Lead Paperworks called Scary Stories with black archival ink and cut out the words and attached them to the card.

 

 

This one I dropped the inks and used the texture tool though the gesso.

 

 

 

This picture shows you the super heavy gesso still wet with inks.

If I remember I sprayed this with water to see what would happen.

 

 

 

They were so much fun to create.

Not at all my spooky colors I like to use.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
