After getting inspired while reviewing each of the awesome Masterboard Tutorials posted by @Reinikka, @Magpie, and @geekgirl I finally got up the nerve to try one! Once I allowed myself to do just one, make it small, and limit my color palette, I stopped feeling overwhelmed!
First, I dug through my various supply stashes and decided on my palette and picked out some tools.
Then I layered on the color! I wrote with a gel pen, swirled on on fluid acrylic, stamped a larger stamp, stenciled using craft paint, stamped on smaller stamps, used another stencil with fluid acrylics.
Added some detail with a TP tube, tape center, and the edge of a large card similar to a gift card. Finally I used a dry brush to dab over some of the stamping to tone them down a bit. Of course, I let each layer dry before adding the next so as not to smear or blend color where I didn’t want to. It’s a bit of an exciting challenge to determine how much of each layer is enough, but not too much!
Now I just need to find a fun project to do that needs the POW that a bit of masterboard brings!
UPDATE: This topic was originally made on April 1.
This is fantastic!
And you know what? I made my very first masterboard yesterday, too I watched one of @Reinikka’s videos on Youtube. It was so much fun.
Nice layers! Love the texture I had to take off my computer glasses so I could really appreciate the colors I’m looking forward to what this becomes!!!
Um, this is awesome. Perhaps more so than you even intended. Any chance you wanna swap for it, or some of it if you’ve got a project in mind? It’s so cool.
