Masterboard Monday.

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

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

I used a variety of stamps and stencils on this Masterboard 

Martha Stewart, Midnight Media, Stamp in the Hand, JudiKins, Tim Holtz. Many of these are old wood mounted stamps and I thought it was time they got another airing.

Now there's plenty of the Masterboard left over so I'm sure you'll see it again sometime.

I then cut out a section of the Masterboard for the background and then die cut Tim Holtz spiders web, bats, dripping border, the spider and the Halloween sentiment.

After layering these onto black card I added the Goggly Eyes and some Stickles Glitter glue and mounted it on to a white card blank.

Now I know we're not there yet but this is just to get you in the mood for Halloween and I have something really special to show you later this month.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge - 'No Patterned Papers'.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi! back again to tell you that it's time for another challenge over
at Crafty Cardmakers.

Valerie is hosting today and our challenge is 'No Patterned Paper' but you can make your own background papers just don't use commercial patterned papers.

As usual you can enter anything you fancy, it doesn't have to be cards, as long as it meets the challenge. 

I hope you will join in.
And here is my offering for today:

No patterned paper here! and no Masterboard for a change as I decided to stamp directly onto the card blank making this quite a quick card which we all need sometimes.
 

The stamp is by Tim Holtz and I think I will have fun with these so watch this space!

 

I started by stamping and heat embossing the cocktail onto a black card blank using white embossing powder.

 

Next stamped it again but this time on white card and coloured it in using brush pens and added Stickles glitter glue around the rim then cut out the main image.

 

The next stage was to stamp a background which I did directly onto the card blank using white ink extending the details round the back of the card too. I also added some detail using a Tim Holtz stencil.

 

I completed the card by attaching the cocktail, ribbon, sentiment and gems.

 

I hope you will pop over to see what the rest of the DT have been up to and maybe join in the challenge.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with too.

 Happy Crafty Card making.

Masterboard Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:
I found this amongst last year's collection and it had got put on one side and stayed unused so decided it was time to put it to good use so here goes.

• Kim Dellow stencils, apply Gel through the stencil and allow it to dry which gives great texture and resists the inks which were added next.
• Add the colour using Distress Oxides with a blending tool and wipe over the gel detail to remove the ink.
• Stamp the text and rub with a dry cloth to remove the ink from the flowers which gives the effect of the text appearing to be behind the detail.

 

Now this may take a while to make but once you have it you can scan and copy it if you like which will give you more to work with. A laser printer is best for this and you can then alter the colours too with an art program if you wish but well I have just cut up the original as I like the texture too.

How ever you choose you can make cards very quickly and you don't need a lot of extra detail with something as lovely as this. You have great detail while still having a nice flat card to go in the envelope.

So here's what I've created with the first section.

 

And here is the finished card.

 

Mounted in sections with craft card blank, lilac and white layers cut with Sue Wilson dies and a square of the Masterboard on top.

Before attaching the Masterboard section I tied it with a Lilac cord and then added some Tim Holtz butterfly dies and Sizzix sentiment die.

The butterflies were completed with matching Stickles glitter glue.

 

I also used some of the matching stamps to decorate the inside of the card and added a stamped sentiment.

Hope you like the finished card. Still loads of the Masterboard left so you can be sure there will be more cards to follow.

 

 I would love to hear your comments about this project.

 

Many thanks for stopping by and happy creative week,

This is one of the few fabric projects I have done for a while but really enjoyed making it.

I used the Tim Holtz Stencils to apply the Starlight fabric paint.

Masterboard Monday.

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

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

 

I applied Prima 3D matte Gel through Tim Holtz stencils and allowed it to dry then added various colours of Oxide inks.
I only chose the lighter colours of ink as I wanted a nice bright spring like finish to the card.

Next I added text stamping, part of which can be seen here again using the Oxide Inks.

Once the ink was dry I rubbed over the stencilled areas to remove the ink giving the effect that the text was behind it.

 

 

Text stamp:

Dies by Memory Box next and then mounted the Masterboard onto matching layers of card which were placed onto a black card blank which I had prepared earlier by stamping using the same inks and text stamp.

I completed the design with matching ribbon, coloured split pin brads, stickles glitter glue on the butterfly's wings and a few extra small butterflies from my stash.

 

 

 Hope you like this as it's not my usual choice of colours but a nice simple card for a spring birthday and if you use some left-over Masterboard, it's fairly quick to make too.

 

I would love to hear your comments.

 

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday

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

Another Monday and another Masterboard project.
This one was used as the background for a birthday card.
My friend asked me for something with a skier on it and 70 but where to start.
So I took a stencil with numbers and built up the masterboard using shades of blue, but still wasn't quite sure where this was going so I turned to one of my favourite Tim Holtz stamps and dies.

And this is what I made.

 

The skier is placed so he appears to be skiing onto the cup cake, I hope that works Lol!

I stamped the cupcake and the skier onto the masterboard and on to white card, after colouring these the cupcake was die cut and the skier cut out with scissors.

I layered a section of the masterboard with black and silver card and attached it to the card blank.

Then attached the sections of the cupcake and the skier.

 

The Masterboard:

 

 

Made with:

• The stencils:

Tim Holtz-Numbers THS058

              Circles THS037

                    Snow DriftTHS021

•  The Inks:

Distress inks - Salty Ocean, Stormy Skies, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot.

•  The Cup cake:

Tim Holtz Framelits die and matching stamp - Birthday Blueprint.

•  Skier stamp:

A Muse Art Stamps - Skier.

• Number Dies:

Tim Holtz Thinlits 661187.

Movers and Shapers - Cargo Number Set.

 

•  The white blobs were created using: 

Pebeo - 4Artist Marker Brilliant White.

 

 I coloured the cake and the candle using water soluble crayons - Derwent Aquatones and finished the card with stickles glitter glue and black gems.

 

 

Hope you like it and hope my friend does too!

 

Happy Monday,

 

Angela xXx
