Masterboard Monday and the C Word!

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

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

 
Which started like this.
 
 
 The textured effect was done using screwed up wax paper then ironed onto water colour paper and rub over with Distress Oxides. The waxed areas work as a resist but I do buff it with a soft cloth which removes any residue of ink on the wax.

 
I love the finish on this and you could use it as it is but I added some stamped images using Paper Artsy stamps by Tracy Scott.

 
I'm feeling lazy so going to stamp several images at the same time which works well if you're doing A3 which is my favourite size for Masterboards.

 
This piece of paper on the right was a mop up that I used which may well come in useful on another project. Never like to waste paper or ink.

 
So here we are.


I don't always do this but decided to mark off the back into sections.
This does help to prevent wastage if you are sure about how you intend using the Masterboard.
 
 
And here is the first card.

 
I wont tell you it's a quick card to make because it isn't as I fussy cut the stamped images and then attached them to the Masterboard. There are stamps for the Ho! Ho! Ho! but I actually wrote them on free hand for this card.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you that this is another Paper Artsy stamp this time by elenazinski Art.
The sentiment was a freebie from a magazine.


 I finished the stars off with some gold stickles glue which you can probably see better here.
 
 
I've used a Woodware stamp for this called Everything Christmas.


Hope you like it and I would love to hear your comments.
 
Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

This is such a pretty masterboard, Angela! I simply must get some of that waxed paper and try this technique. I love the overlapping stars. Fun card you made with it, and funny verse inside! Lol! Thank you for your visit - so glad you like my boxes and the kitty pics - I keep finding them in sweet positions, cuddled up keeping each other warm!

Gorgeous masterboard and so big! I love the wax effect, I tried it once I think... I wondered which ink you used to stamp on top of the wax? xx
