gouache landscape on acrylic on paper

I must say I'm pleased with myself on this one. I leaped off the cliff of hesitancy and painted on one of my textures (thanks to a nudge from Roz). It's a small piece; the paper is the Strathmore 140 lb 5x7" watercolor card. The layers of blue brushstrokes on the 2nd layer over the pink, and text transfer on the third layer were a good fit for a landscape. I used gouache and some color pencil around the edge of the painting. I am thinking that I might like to use a Montana marker around the edge instead but will wait a few days before I take that leap. 

Making this one small painting on the textured background was kind of a breakthrough in how I was thinking of my backgrounds and now I "get" that it is background and not so precious that I can't paint over it. I get it in what Roz does but not in what I do, but now I see the possibilities for me.
