Alter Cardstock with Earth Safe Finishes

We all have have Card Stock that we will never use.
Lots of times we get a package of card stock because it it the only way to get the one
Card Stock in there you really want, and is filled with others you would never use.
Or you bought to much of a card stock and have some left over;
whatever the reason, it is just sitting never to be used for anything, until now!

Pictured above is one such piece of Card Stock and below is the process
to make it into something you will love to use in your ART!

Let's update that Card Stock with Earth Safe Finishes!

Supplies:

Old Card Stock
Earth Safe Finishes Gesso
Earth Safe Finishes Shimmers Opaque & Translucent colors of choice
Loew Cornell Paint Brushes
Optional:
Old Paper or Music Sheets
Rub On's
Glue Stick

Dry brush Gesso onto Card Stock.

Glue on some old papers or music if desired.

Brush Shimmers onto Card Stock, add more Gesso to get desired look.

Add a rub - on if desired.

The end result is a beautiful piece of Card Stock
that would be great for any project you choose to do.

Click on the above picture to see it up close.
You can see the old card stock
through the gesso and shimmers;
creating depth and beauty!
