Do you ever create Masterboards? They are so handy to have a ready background to use for your crafty makes as I show here on this post. I think I first came across Masterboards on the Paper Artsy blog when Jo Firth Young showed how to make with her lovely stamps.
I didnt use feature stamps on my mine but you could quite easily, instead I used a few background stamps Here's how I created mine!
I keep my Fresco Acrylic Paints by Paper Artsy in the middle draw of a plastic set of 3, and for this project I challenge myself by just reaching in and pulling out 4 colours at Random and this is what I got!
Quite a nice mix I thought!
I applied the colours in no particular order using a small brayer. I wanted a grungy look and was pleased how this came out.
I added some script and texture stamps again randomly over the page which was a 12x12 heavyweight card stock. Although I liked this, I wanted to warm it up a bit and so chose Tikka Fresco Acrylic and a bottle top stamped randomly adding the colour.
I do apologise for the blurry photo but wanted to show some of what I cut from the 1 sheet. I actually managed to get 2
card backgrounds a Tag, a book mark and 4 ATCs not bad! The strips that I cut off will also come in handy to use in collage pieces.
Here are some of the projects I made which you can see in the main photo at the top!
See how versatile they can be!
Hope you liked seeing how to make this if you have any questions please leave in the comments.
