The challenge is to try anything new - technique, color combo, medium, process for creating...
This one is also for the Mix-ability challenge of using Gesso. I had never tired it but love the look of Gesso and Newsprint

Just beautiful, Ceal. I love those bright poppies against the text.
I'm guessing that Copics must stay bright even on gesso - my distress inks tend to look a bit paler and more washed out.

Fabulous card! The poppies are gorgeous against that background. Isn't gesso fun?
