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
