After that I went over with distress inks in China blue and Crushed Avocado. I loved the effect they created. The paints flower freely on the clear gessoed background and seeped into the leaves that were still the original paper.
Then I placed some copied text in each card - this was the transfer part. Did it work? (A hint: do you see it anywhere?)
Only partially. I think the background was already too saturated with all kind of product and the text didn't really adhere. Some of it came off, some of it stayed. The transfer medium is rather plastic-y and it didn't come off, but left another layer. This could of course be because of the clear gesso, they might not just play along. I will clearly have to make more experiments on different backgrounds!
Lastly added some flowers I had made on newspaper and cut-out birds.
