Oh I can finally tell you. I'm the guest designer for Gina K!
Is that not a wonderful way to end March. I tell ya, I've had the most exciting month ever!
When my Gina K stamps arrived I got busy creating. You can see my design at http://blog.ginakdesigns.com/ and http://stampingfreak.com/
I just had to share one of my cards, plus a tutorial.
(Scan all the way to the bottom for something really special, you won't want to miss out!!!)
Okay, I was loving these bunnies. I had seen some wonderful creations using them by Gina's wonderfully talented Design Team and I just couldn't wait to color them in. You can find them here 
Stampinfreak
I stamped the bunnies on white card stock.
I then stamped the bunnies again on a post it note and created a mask. I covered the bunnies and stamped the background. (SU! set Polka Dots & Paisley)
I stamped them once again on a piece of white card stock then colored both sets with my Prismacolor pencils and Odorless Thinner. I just had to add some Liquid Applique to their cute lil' tails. I then cut one bunny out and adhered it on top with Dimensional tape.
The cute frame is actually a Sizzix Die called Scallop Oval Frame. I cut 2 out. One from chipboard the other brown paper.
Background paper is Cosmopolitan Collection "Marquis Cut" by Making Memories
Gesso Dots
Supplies:
Liquitex Basics Acrylic Gesso (or any acrylic Gesso brand will work.)
Stampin' Up! Classic Stampin' Ink 
Refill ( I used Pixie Pink)
Stylus
Plastic tray (or any plastic type lid or tray)
Step 1. Squeeze a small amount of Gesso onto the lid. Gesso is fairly thick. Squeeze a small dot of ink next to it. (less is more, you
can always go back and add more if you want a darker color.)
Step 2. Mix the colors together using you stylus. The Gesso will now be less thick.
Step 3. I feel silly saying this, but it's a really important step. You 
need to clean off the stylus. Leave no paint residue on the metal tip. You will get better dots if the tip is maintained clean between marks.
Step 4. Dip the stylus into the paint. Making sure to hold it straight up and down. You want paint only on the tip.
Step 5. Tap the paint covered tip of the stylus onto the paper, making sure to keep the stylus straight.
Step 6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each dot. (If you don't wipe the tip after each dot your dots will get progressively larger as the paint builds up on the tip. This can be a good effect also, if that's what you want.)
Whew, you made it to the bottom of the page!!! Hope you liked the tutorial.
Now for the best part.
Gina's has graciously offered me a $20 gift certificate to her store http://stampingfreak.com/Home_Page.html for one lucky person on my blog. Man she's the sweetest ever!
All you have to do is leave me a post by Monday April 2nd by 12 midnight (Pacific time) and I will announce the lucky winner on Tuesday April 3nd.
(Plus, I think I will also be picking out 2 more names and sending them a little something special!)
Happy belated birthday -- so wonderful to "discover" you through Gina K's blog. The touches on your cards take my breath away.
I'll be back!!

Asela, I am so excited that I have discovered your work and your blog through GinaK! Your cards are beautiful, and I really appreciate the tutorial. I have never heard of Gesso, and it is neat to be able to use the reinkers to match the cardstock, ribbon, ink, etc. of a project. I've added your blog to my favorites and am looking forward to seeing more of your cards and artistry. Thanks for offering the blog prizes; Gina has great stuff in her store!

I have only recently found your work and am not surprised you are a guest designer for Gina K! Thanks for the info with mixing the reinkers with Gesso to make dots...I never would have thought of that! Congratulations!

Congratulations on being the Guest Artist on Gina's blog. I loved your cards. Wow, this tutorial was very interesting. I thought perhaps the dots were done using a gel pen, boy was I wrong. You do fantastic work and those bunnies are just adorable. Ida

Wow, congratulations!! I love the bunny card you made! How did you get the raised effect on the "Hoppy Easter"? Did you use Gesso on that also, or was it used with a Glaze pen? Thanks so much for sharing! Awesome blog.

Congrats on your Guest Designer gig! I love your cards. I'm assuming you can get the Gesso at a Michael's type craft store? What area of the store? Very cool technique. Thanks for sharing it with your readers.

congratulations on being the guest designer for gina k! Your cards are great....thanks for sharing!
Posted by: michele | March 31, 2007 at 01:31 PM
super tutorial! I'm guessing the gesso makes the dot a bit more raised up-3d like? I found your site after you recently were announced the winner of the CHF illustrator contest. And now a guest designer on GinaK's site too. You're one busy lady :)
Posted by: mnhyrkas | March 31, 2007 at 01:35 PM
You are quite a talent. Gina K is one smart cookie by picking you. Love the tutorial. Your cards are all amazing.
