Technique Tuesday with Kat Glossop

I was trying to think of something a little different to do with the adorable American Crafts frames from last month's kit. A friend was playing around with gesso, so I thought, why not!? And fiddled around until I came up with this.


First up I taped down the frames using a very small amount of double sidedtape, just so they wouldn't move too much.


I used a knife to spread the gesso over the frames, filling in all thecracks.


After leaving it for a few minutes, I used some pointed tweezers to pull the frames out.


And after leaving the gesso to dry over night, I sprayed the page with bluespray, wiping off extra paint with a paper towel.


I then doodled and embellished the page - it took a while, but was a lot of fun and I love how it turned out. Just remember to use cardboard as a base,paper is too thin and will curl!

Kat used the American Crafts chipboard frames from the November kit. Email Michelle if you are interested in this kit. I think there were just a couple left.
