Two beautiful cards using your gesso resist technique. Love the backgrounds in both cards and the wonderful flowers in both of them. These look so fun to do and thanks again for describing your process.

These two cards are fabulous, Christine! The soft colors are so pretty against the black background, and the subtle stamping adds so much interest to the background.

Two fantastic cards using gesso on a dark background. I love the way the DOX inks cover the gesso and create a soft colour palette with so much contrast to the background. Great work, my friend! xx
