PA topic 22 - Masterboards

You can tell by how quickly (for me) I've made my entry for the current Paperartsy challenge how much I enjoy making Masterboards.  I usually stamp random images and colour them in but this time I've braved a spot of brayering.

This is the first couple of layers and where I usually declare it a "right old mess" and give up. 




Any way I carried on adding a couple of lighter colours and stamping, in ink and paint.  Lastly for a Christmassy feel I added a few snowflakes with bonding powder and silver foil - afraid these don't show up very well here.  I can see I need to persevere when making these as I quite like the end result below.






 
 



These are the paints and stamps I've used.
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                                                                                                                                Now the fun part of making the masterboard into cards - I ended up with 4 and a tag !  I might actually end up with enough to send at this rate ! 
 










Thanks for looking xx
