AND then embossed stars for added texture! Love your gessoed leaf stem with the pretty colors - and a repeat with the lovely whisper of a dragonfly - a beautiful collection - and what great help you received from Hammy! Your cartoon made me laugh - I'm not one for crowds anyway (we would go to matinee movies with 4 others in the theater in days gone by!) I feel just like these people when I see two others walking toward me as I walk around the block - I run to the other side of the street!

I read all your posts, both for the gorgeous eye candy and to see what you and Hammy are up to. I'm ashamed to admit that I rarely comment. But this time I HAVE to. Your two gesso cards are phenomenal! I LOVE them. And as soon as I get back to my toys I'm so going to be doing this. May even have to break down and get that fern stencil! I seldom think of stencils, perhaps because I don't have many. That may have to change!

I don't know anything about using gesso, or DOxie inks, for that matter. But you did remind me to get out those Brushos and have some inky fun with them again.
