I cut 2 pieces of card to atc size. Covered one with Gesso and then put the other one on top creating a sandwich. I then pulled the top one off. The gesso was now peaked. I left these to dry completely before going on to the next step.
I run a spiced Marmalade distress ink over the first one. The second one I inked using a sponge and Shabby Shutters distress ink before swiping over with Brushed Corduroy. Acrylic paints would work just as well as inks as would any Inks you may have - try it!!!
All ready now for adding images, adornments etc and creating your ATC

I just love this technique. Thanks so much for introducing me to it!
Just wanted let everyone know that wal-mart now carries gesso and it is much cheaper then an art store. :)

Thanks you,
I did this one tonight and used grey gesso instead of white. Then after dried, I added white ink on top and then black ink. The other one that I sandwiched, I did yellow on top and then white.
Thanks,
Crystal
