This is for the mixability challenge - Mix6. The challenge was to use newspaper and gesso.
I used strips of SU! newsprint dsp. I gessoed the base, and adhered the strips. I gessoed over the strips. Then I stamped various floral stamps with Stazon.
I tried a variety of mediums to color the flowers. I tried colored pencils, watered down acryllic paint, and also large Pitt Pens.
I outlined the stamps with a black pitt pen, and I am writing in blocks around the images as the frame.
I loved this challenge - even if it has taken me some time.
Thanks for looking.

this is just gorgeous, Lela....I love the look of your mixed media page and with all of the white spacing it does look CAS. I wonder if I could get a similar effect stamping flowers on First Edition printed DSP? This is so pretty....thanks for sharing it!
