I love gesso. Almost every card I make has it - sometimes with texture and other just plain. I love how the color react to having the gesso behind them. I had this image for a very long time. I stamped it, cut it down so you only feel the emotion of the eyes. This card has 3 different gesso techniques. The back ground is not only a raised texture, but also a tinted gesso. After that layer dried I added another thin layer of white and ghosted it with several mini stamps to catch the resin. Then I used gesso that I thinned down, stained with ink and added some eye shadow to get an underneath shimmer (does not show up in the photo). After everything dried I then used a wide paint brush and coated it with wet perfect pearls to give the streaks that make the card feel light. I added the music tape and coated it all with an acrylic coat.
