Simple Cardstock.
As I unpack boxes I realize I have enough yardstick to last me until....
A layer of Gesso on the back makes to paper lie flat as I add all the paint etc to the front.
This was a textured piece of carsick so up close it looks like a piece of canvas with the added texture.
Also by using cs I can make 12x12 background and cut them down to whatever size I need for the finished product.

good grief!!!!!!!
No matter how many times I type it, it ALWAYS corrects to yardstick (and now I see it did carsick as well) You'd think it would learn what I want to say...right?
