Masterboard for Paper Artsy

Well you live and learn...The challenge over at Paper Artsy this month is Masterboards, I didn't have a clue what this was till I read on....It is basically a background or piece of art on which to build, I think.  I have been making masterboards it seems for quite a while with my Gelli Plate and brayer for the backgrounds of my cards... So here I am with another using acrylic paints and my Gelli Plate.I have also used a couple of stencils.The stamps are  by Lin Brown .xxx

Leandra has a fab Tutorial on this over on You Tube the link is on the Paper Artsy blog
great inspiration.

Hello I have another card to share today, 

I have found a new favourite  Distress ink "Stormy Sky" why I didn't have this one I don't know because it is gorgeous. I have also used the inkylicious stamp again.

Happy Birthday

The little birds on the sentiment were an extra addition.xxx

More Christmas Cards

I have another Christmas card to share today, I have used a couple of stamps from Inkylicious again the sentiment is one from Chocolate Baroque. I think I am on the right track now with the Christmas cards. I have found making 4 or 5 of the same design a lot easier than trying to make all different ones.xxx
