This is a little background tutorial. It is actually my favorite way to create backgrounds with just gesso and distressinks.Gather your supplies: paper, gesso ( any primer will do), old (credit)card, distressinks,pads to sponge ink with.
Smear gesso loosely with your creditcard,do try to not cover entire paper and do not put on a heavy layer.
You could even use a bold stamp or some bubble wrap to stamp gesso with. Let completely dry.
After the gesso has dried,sponge a heavy coat of distress ink on the paper. Do not be afraid to use too much ink, the thicker the ink layer,the better the contrast will be between the ink and the gesso.
When you like the result after sponging, use as background for your project.
I hope you liked the tutorial, let me know if you have any questions!
On my blog you can see the result of the tag with the bubble wrap background.
