Masterboard Magic

I had a go at making a Masterboard recently for a challenge set by my crafty pal Debbie. The challenge was to use cool colours and to make a Christmas themed project with it afterwards.

Here is my Masterboard. I used Distress Inks in Broken China, Black Soot and Peeled Paint for the background. The snowflakes were stamped in blue and green and I used plain old white gesso to stamp snowflakes and make lines over the top of it all.


I cut it into six fairly equal pieces and edged each piece with Black Soot Distress Ink


and here's one of the batch of six cards I made. The snowflake die is by Tim Holtz for Sizzix. The Sentiment is by Tonic.

  4. I love your masterboard... though it wasn't until I got to the last picture that I realised it was a wintry one. I'd been seeing blossom and leaves against a spring sky - then had to turn my head around the snowflakes!! I guess we see what we want to see... In any case, it's really lovely, and the card works beautifully.

  5. A fabulous Masterboard Lauren, such lovely colours and details, you have made a brilliant Christmas card with it.
    That photo of your dog with the bin lid around his neck always makes me chuckle!
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
