While on Facebook one day I heard the rave about using napkins in Bible Journaling. It involves using Gesso and paper napkins with a pretty design/image on them. I wanted to give it a try, but was hesitant to do so in my Bible without first trying it somewhere else. So... I did it on a card.But... I messed up.
I didn't realize there is clear Gesso. I had Gesso and thought it was what they were talking about. Then, when I used it, I discovered it really dulls the image... so I'm thinking I was supposed to use clear Gesso. I guess I'll be making a trip to the big box Craft store before I try this technique again.
It doesn't show up real well, but I add a little bit of Stickles on the outline of the poinsettia to give it a bit of definition and sparkle.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Cute card Jeanette. I did the technique with modge podge and used the napkin as a background. It is a fun technique. I adore the inside of this card as well. I'm glad you tried it first on a card.
ReplyDeleteYou know this do-able with mod podge too. I kind of like the muted look.
