O is for Oil Pastels and Gesso Cuttlebug Backgrounds
I found this technique on Melstampz.blogspot.

Color the raised areas with oil pastels.
Paint over the entire surface with gesso and let dry. I'm not sure if it's the brand of oil pastels I used, or that I used a thick application of the oil pastels, but the gesso turned light green when I painted over the pastels.
Sand the raised areas as much or as little as you desire to reveal the oil pastels colors underneath.
A fun shabby chic look.
