Stenciling with Gesso

This is another fun technique using gesso. It gives quite a similar effect as stamping with gesso except that this time, you could use any stencils that you can find lying around in your stash.

To use this technique, simply just get a scrap cardboard piece and use it to apply your gesso onto the stencil as above. (Tip: make sure you get the gesso into all the details on the stencil and work quickly on this as you would want to wash your stencil immediately afterwards to avoid any staining)

When it's dry, simply just dab on some distress ink and stamped some images or quotes using some dye inks or solvent ink.
