For the cling wrap background I used some Bister powders on coated card stock and then later painted it with a thin wash of gesso. Gesso is a great product for muting down colours or hiding mistakes and restarting. I wish I'd taken a photo of the background before I'd added the gesso, oh well next time 😄

Gorgeous background and good idea about the gesso. Love the muted effect and those eye catching seahorses x.
Hey Christine. What funky seahorses! I like how the muted background really pops out the designs in black! Thanks so much for showing me :)
Wonderful "water" background - great idea to add the gesso and mute the colours. Love the seahorse!
