I expect it'll be easier on some paper surfaces than others. Clear gesso might also be interesting to try as a primer. Love how the Zinskis look - very cool to use outline stamps because then you still get to see all that Oxide prettiness.<br />Alison xWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177094293839569646.post-13341023964213923032017-05-02T10:02:34.988+01:002017-05-02T10:02:34.988+01:00I, too, always forget to photograph my cards...

Think if they do more colours- which I'm sure will come in time, I may get a few, but wouldn't want them all.
