Club Scrap March Technique Challenge

This month’s Technique Challenge on the Club Scrap Blog is the Masterboard Technique, which was something new to me. 

I have two confessions to make.  One is that I don’t do “random” very well.  So this technique definitely took me a little out of my comfort zone.  The second confession is that I can be somewhat of a rebel at times.  So, I did this challenge with a slight twist.   Here is my masterboard:

Using stamps from Club Scrap (Fossils and By the Seashore Remix), I stamped them randomly - but not without some stress - with VersaMark ink onto Strathmore Watercolor paper, and embossed them with Copper Foil EP from Club Scrap (unfortunately not in the store anymore).   I then water colored the panel using Glimmer Mist (Apple, Tiger Lily and Electric Blue). 

I decided to make a set of notecards with my colorful panel:

The paper is all from Club Scrap.  I embossed the background panels using a folder from Lifestyle Crafts, then inked them with Forrest Moss Distress Ink.  I cut the Masterboard panels using Spellbinder dies.  The ribbon is Club Scrap (I think Navigation?). 

I followed Tricia’s Paper Purse tutorial to make a holder for this card set:

The paper is also from Club Scrap.  I used the Forrest Moss Distress ink with a stamp from Technique Junkies.  The decorative panel is stamped with a stamp from Club Scrap Fossils (less stress!), embossed and water colored the same as the masterboard. 

Now I have a gift already made the next time something unexpected pops up, or I get behind - which is probably more likely!  

Thank you for stopping by!
