Today's card is a CAS card.....
I stamped the large leaves with white gesso and then did a little blending on the card.
The gesso acted as a resist.
I then stamped the large leaf off set, which gave me the white surround.
I used a couple more foliage stamps in shades of grey.
I splattered, just a little with white acrylic ink.
I finished with stamping the sentiment onto vellum
and heat embossing with platinum embossing powder.
I used mixed media card to give a little more texture.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Mac I am smitten.....I never would have thought of using Gesso for stamping but the result is jawdropping gorgeous! CAS at it's best and grey is the new white:) And I LOVE it!!

I really like monochrome cards! Choosing gray is a great idea. The card is thus shrouded in a delicate mist of understatement. Vellum completes this impression. Beautiful card, delicious

This is so classy, Mac! You are so talented with mixed media!
Hey Mac!! I love your card. I love the monochromatic you used. The shadowing is amazing. Nicely done. Thank you so much for playing with us this week at CASology.
Gorgeous monochromatic card, Mac! Great idea to use gesso as a resist. Have not tried stamping with it ... I'm just starting to use it after having it for ages. :) Love the soft gray shading and stamping. Beautiful paired with the vellum and liquid platinum embossed sentiment. Very creative and artsy! xx
