Good morning crafty peeps, This is a scheduled post today as I am in sunny Spain for a week, having a well earned rest and trying to get some heat in my bones!! Now as I promised you, this is going to be a full tutorial on how I make my master boards, so go and grab a cuppa and settle yourself down, this is a long post with lots of piccies!!!!......... So just before I start I must say that the inspirational person that got me into creating these backgrounds was Leandra from PaperArtsy, Kirsten and I watched her at a lovely day out at the Craft Barn many moons ago and I could have sat there all day watching her, it was so fascinating! So I then went off and had a play myself and this is how I make them now........ I start off with a A4 sheet of Anna Marie Designs Super Smooth cardstock, I really find this is great card and takes lots of paint without buckling the card. So for this background I chose Dylusion Paints: Fresh Lime, Vibrant Turquoise and Squeezed Orange along with my Hard Ball Brayer........ Now these paints really go a long way, so you only need a small amount on your craft sheet. You can see how little I used. I like to start with my lightest colour first...... Then take your brayer and roll it in to the paint back and forth flicking it as you go to spread the paint out thinly on your craft sheet....... Then start to apply the paint lightly flicking your brayer as you lay it on to the A4 card. I like to do Leandra's corner, corner, side method to start with as it gives a great effect. Remember to keep vertical and horizontal as it begins to look rather messy otherwise.... Then on to the turquoise...... Applying in the same way with the brayer, opposite, corner, corner, side and then in between lightly to infill a little and use the paint up on the craft sheet...... Then I go back to the lime again and add some more in the same way....... I am really liking it now it is starting to blend. Now to knock the colour back with a little with White Linen before I add some stenciling..... Take a barely damp baby wipe (squeeze out excess moisture if necessary ) and wipe across the surface of the A4 card, this just knocks back the colour a little and then allows your stenciling to pop out of the page....... Now for a little more colour. I took Squeezed Orange and my Imagination Crafts Bubble Background stencil (back in stock soon) and some Cut'n'Dry Foam and applied it to the foam, pounced it on my craft mat so it was not too wet and then applied it randomly through the stencil...... I did the same with the Turquoise Dylusions and Imagination Crafts Honeycomb Stencil. Now I did get carried away at this point and forget to take a photo before started stamping but you get the idea!...... So now for some more texture; I used Hobby Art Decorative Backgrounds stamp set and added some stamped images in turquoise Dylusions........ I fancied a bit more brighter detail, so I added some White Linen using bottle tops from my spray bottles....... And some lines using an old credit card........ Looking good........ Now for a final bit of sparkle to bring it to life. I chose my gorgeous Imagination Crafts Platinum Starlight Paint, (back in stock soon), added a little on to my craft mat and then used my bottle tops again..... These really are fabulous unique pots of paint with crushed gilding flakes and they really sparkle..... See what I mean....... Well, I do hope that you are still with me and not nodded off, lol! Just to show you that it doesn't all have to be about cards. I made a Tando House Key Hanger with the master board as a Background....... A few close ups of the little houses painted in the co-ordinating colours..... That is all from me today, my lovelies. I will be back in rainy England later tomorrow. I do hope that you have enjoyed the post , have a lovely week...... Hugs, Lisa B xx

"Hello all, It's me, Ellen Vargo, here again for my last project share for February. Today we'll be working on a master board and cutting it down to make 9 ATC's (ATC = Artist Trading Card with a standard size of 2.5" x 3.5"). We'll be creating a brayered background (shocking!), adding some stamping and lots of stamped collage papers in bright contrasting colors, and adding some paint marks and pen work". Here's one of the finished ATC's ... We'll start with our master board (Heavyweight Smoothy Card) and create a background. This time we'll start with some stamping to create a pattern. I chose the scratchy rectangle from EEV02. I stamped it over and over again, staggering the line-up so it looks sort of like bricks. EEV02 Now it's time for the brayer. I used the following Fresco paints (in the order they appear below) to create a nice background over the stamping. Now we'll stamp some patterns over the painting. We'll use the bold stripes border from EEV03 and Wendy Vecchi's Potting Soil Archival Ink. EEV03 I stamped in both horizontal and vertical patterns over the whole sheet. For the small sections in the middle I just inked up a portion of the stamp. Now it's time for some collage. This is where I started really having fun. Instead of choosing collage papers that coordinated with the background, I decided to purposely choose some papers that were really bright and bold and would contrast with the background. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I've learned that when you cut it down to smaller pieces, everything sort of clicks into place. Hold onto your hats! Turquoise, green, magenta, red, yellow! There are stamps from EEV01, EEV03 and EEV04 represented in the collage papers. Then I added some painty markings using the edge of a flat paint brush. I filled in some open areas and painted over some of the collaged areas as well. Then I decided to outline some of the collage pieces. This is where my happy accident took place. I was outlining one of the large collage pieces and went WAY beyond one of the corners ... YIKES! I started to panic a little, but then realized I could just turn it into a new pattern! So instead of one dramatically OUT of place line, I created some fringe with little dots at the end... you're probably seeing a "pattern" emerge with me ... I LOVE patterns! Here's the whole sheet, all marked up, and trimmed down to ATC size, including the little extra bits. I outlined each ATC with a black sharpie paint pen (oil based). I love outlining with this pen. The oil-based paint gives a shiny finish to the border. I like the contrast between the matte chalky finish of the fresco and the glossy border. Now... those extra bits .... what to do... I've been accumulating quite a stock of "extra bits" and didn't know what to do with them. I didn't want to use them as collage because they are on quite heavy card stock. I finally had an A-HA moment! Combine them all together for some patchwork ATC's! I love the random combination of patterns and colors. I stapled each section onto a lightweight card base and VOILA! You may recognize some of these "extra bits" from the samples I made for the debut of my Eclectica stamps for the Stitches trade show. OK... now that we have all these ATC's - what can we do with them? Here are a few ideas... 1. Place card for your next fancy dinner soiree (does anyone have those any more???)... 2. O r... lose the folded tent card, and it's a name badge to wear at the next trade show... (hmmm... think she would wear it? hint, hint). Same lettering style as our journal cover yesterday, just more sketchy / messy style. 3. A custom business card. (used the smallest scratchy shape stamp from EEV02 with Sap Green Archival Ink) 4. The feature of a card front. With more "extra bits" cut into skinny strips for a border. You could add any greeting or sentiment to this (birthday, miss you, thank you - whatever the occasion calls for!) 5. Mount your three favorites onto some white card for some framed art! I know this was a *MONSTER* post, but I sure had fun and hope you got some good ideas for how to use some of my stamps, and the many ways to use ATC's for different projects.
