Combo - Window, Old & New, Gesso & Art @ Fingertip

I combined 4 challenges for this card. I started with the gesso resist, which did not want to cooperate. So I applied gesso to the cloud, butterfly (which is hard to see) and grass stamps. I inked with DI in Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass. I cut the window with my silhouette and inked with DI in dusty concord. I also cut the window box with my silhouette. Since the gesso was fighting me, I used clear embossing powder for that instead.

All of the stamps are ones I've had for years. The cloud was RAKed to me after my first WSW in 2008. And I bought two big set of clear stamps by Inkadinkado around the same time and I believe all the other stamps came from those sets. And the new technique was the gesso resist.

I made the cat with my fingers - ring finger for the body and pinky for the head. I used my fingernail to draw the ears and tail.

Embellishments - I added ribbon curtains to the window, mulberry paper flowers, pearls colored with Bic markers.

This card has so much charm--maybe it's the curtains. I love those little flowers with the pearl centers. The gesso resist elements look great. Thank you for playing. Daria

This card is beyond adorable! I love the soft background, the gesso did great at creating a serene scene out the window. I love your window too with the curtain! Great job and thanks for taking my challenge Smile

I absolutely love this scene you made...it reminds me of those miniature houses/supplies I drooled over when I was a kid at craft stores! The kitty is so cute and I love the flowers! They look good enough to eat!! TFS!

A kitchen sink piece! I LOVE it, Sarah! Fingerprint 'kitty' is cool. And the ears give new meaning to the term 'nail art'. Very Happy
