I’ve been having so much fun with gesso that I just can’t stop! Here I used it to ways — to make the cake icing and to do a transfer of the writing. So fun! Can’t believe my friend Janani’s daughter is going to be sixteen. Wow do I feel old. :)
Supplies: Adobe Illustrator to create the text — I used this tutorial. The font is Marketing Script — love it! Hero Arts Lace Frame stamp and pink pearls. Flower punch by Martha Stewart. Fabriano notecards. Scrap piece of chipboard to gesso — I just cut it freehand.
And! Here’s another trick that I love to do: I punched some extra flowers to make confetti to put in the envelope. Love putting confetti in cards, just ask my family. Hee hee!
What a cute card Lisa. Really lucky to have you as my friend.
Too cute!
What an adorable card Lisa! Are you going to do a tutorial using Gesso?
Hi Cheryl! Maybe someday! :)
What a fun-filled post (as always)! I love all the inspiration from your blog and this weeks HA blog, of course! AND I’m glad to share that I made a card today that totally makes me happy. It has that French Flair! LOVE everything French, especially the FOOD :)
Sooo cute, just love those little, colorful petals!
love the texture gesso gives, just like real icing! love this sweet card, Lisa!
I love that! I’ve been touching up a canvas with gesso today, so I was curious to see the cake. It’s great that you’ve been able to get it so thick, it really gives texture to the cake. Yummy!
You are always soooo clever…this is sooo sweet!
