Okay....you have to look closely, but there is a page of print here. I gesso'd over it which I saw in a tutorial on line somewhere and it didn't show through as much as it was supposed to. Despite that, and despite a couple of owies I'm happy with the way this turned out. TFL!!

Glad I read first! I thought you were a total rule breaker, you rebel you, LOL!!! That gesso has a mind of it's own!
I love your card, love the flowers and hummers and sepia tones!! Beautiful!

Gosh, your gesso must be much more opaque than mine (currently Daler & Rowney), as it would take me three or four coats at least to get this cover! But it looks great and gives a wonderful vintage feel with your sepia tones.

I do see the print, it is so subtle but works so beautifully with your images. Nicely done adding the gesso. I have seen the video and wanted to try it too, your card really makes me want to drag mine out but alas I have a house to finish packing up. So detailed. Thank you for joining in on my challenge.
