Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Here we are again for another challenge at The Mirror Crack'd and this month it's Make and Use a Masterboard(but not cards please).
This month we are being sponsored by Woodware a Yorkshire based craft company who have kindly donated a £12 voucher for the winner so it's definitely worth a go.

Lin has asked me to host this month's challenge which is perfect for me as I love making Masterboards as some of you will already know.

This is what I came up with.
The Masterboard was created using various masks, stencils and stamps with the addition of tissue paper.

I started by placing one of the Tim Holtz masks onto the paper and then applying ink with a blender.
I continued adding colour over the paper until it was covered with ink and allowed it to dry.

Once this was complete I used stencils and stamps to decorate the surface.
I used black ink for this often softening the effect by applying the second or third press of the stamp.
I added the tissue paper by first scrunching it up and then applying glue directly to the masterboard and smoothing the tissue paper in place as I went along.
I continued to add detail until satisfied and soon it was ready to be used to decorate the chosen product.

In this case I chose to use my Masterboard to decorate a Mini Wallet Book.
You can get the full tutorial for making the basic book by using this link.
I changed the inner pages but as you will see you can vary this to suit yourself.

I started by decorating the outer part of the wallet with a Crafters Workshop template and texture paste.

I prepared several pieces of red card for the layering and rubbed over the edges with Black distress ink using a blending tool.

And then began cutting the Masterboard pieces to size.

I distressed the edges before mounting them onto red card and then  attached them to the black pages.

I also wanted to add some other images to this and decided to use some Stampotique stamps to create them. I add colour using one of my new Chameleon pens.

Here is what I did:

Later I glazed parts of the stamped images and also added stickles glue to them.

 These are just a few of the stamped images and I will show you more in the completed book.

Sure you don't want to see me sticking it all together so...

Here it is, all finished!!!

I have to warn you there are lots of photographs but then there are lots of pages Lol!

So here we go...

I have used several makes of stamps to create this wallet book but the main images are by Stampotique.

The camera stamp was free with Craft Stamper magazine.

Pocket pages for the ATCs.

Think I might have made too many of these so you will be sure to see these pop up again soon.
