Vada`s Gesso Resist Tutorial

Vada’s Gesso Resist Tutorial
October 2006
When one of my stamping heroes sends me a technique, I sit up and pay attention!
Design Team Member Vada Schutz offered this stunning technique -- I hope this tutorial does this
artistic technique justice. Make sure you peek at Vada’s “to-die-for” artwork on the artwork pages!

- 2 or 3 Colors of Walnut EZ Tintz (or watered down dye inks)
in colors complementary to the Rainbow Ink

Carefully wad the wax paper with the Gesso facing out. Dab and swipe the Gesso sparingly over the cardstock
and images.
Apply the lightest color of Walnut Ink Tintz to a cosmetic sponge.
Step Eight:
Repeat; sponge on additional colors of tintz as desired.
Leave plenty of white space.
Step Nine:
Dry inks with the heat tool.
Step Ten:
Load brayer with complementary rainbow ink. Brayer ink over
the tintz and cardstock. The rainbow ink will blend the ink tintz while the gesso will resist the ink.
