    Thanks for this Jill – good to see another of your videos; I learnt much with this one as I’ve never used Gesso before……looks like I need to find myself a tub plus those foam brushes.
    Love the way you use those Distress Inks for the colouring & your explanation of how to avoid mud – mud is what I make when I’m using the Distress Stains but I WILL get there.

  72. February 6, 2013 7:32 am

    So happy to have a new video today, with a marvelous technique. Love this look, and I wonder what you use to clean the stamp. And do you clean it immediately after stamping before you start the coloring process? This is a beautiful card. TFS

    • February 6, 2013 11:29 am

      Thanks SOOO much for your comment, Mary! I cleaned the stamp immediately after stamping while I was waiting for the Gesso to dry on my project. I removed the bulk of the gesso from my stamp with a baby wipe and then quickly ran the stamp under water and scrubbed with a tooth brush. I immediately dried the stamp and it is good to go for the next round. Thanks again!

  73. February 6, 2013 7:35 am

  147. February 6, 2013 5:12 pm

    Jill, I’ve never seen a video you’ve made before. You have such a quiet confidence about your demonstrations. It’s as if I was sitting down with a friend who was teaching me a new technique!

    I live in a retirement community. I’m thinking of creating a small group of stampers who will learn new skills as well as make strong friendships! It’s so important no matter what age we are to keep learining and browning!

    Thank you for your inspiration!

    Jill Foster’s talent makes me want every stamp she uses. PB&J and a cup of coffee equals a really good morning.

    I tried this technique and my results weren’t as good as yours. Are you using a special paper? I love what you did and I really want to get it right!
