Art Swap Post Card and Card

Good day and welcome!

I've mentioned my art swap group before

and today I'm going to show you my latest 

project for the swap.

We were to make a masterboard then 

from that we were to make a post card for the

person we were given.

I made more than one masterboard.

This one I used paints and a few different objects 

to make marks (bottle caps, and a fork for instance)

I like how it turned out.

I made this masterboard using the washi tape in my stash.

I just started layering it onto the page and filled the entire

page.

This is the post card I made with the painted 

masterboard that I made.

I enjoyed making it and still have plenty of the

original board left for other projects.

I was a little hesitant to mail out the post card, so 

I made a card with the other masterboard and put the 

post card inside.

This was a fun challenge and the person I sent 

these too was happy to receive them.

Thanks for stopping in today.

I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Please, do come again,

until then,

stretch yourself and try something new.

 

Masterboard

Hello crafty people!

A little while back I joined a group on Facebook

that I'm totally enjoying.

The Mixed Media Emporium

with Nina Ribena and Kylie Coo

Each month they post a prompt, with videos,

 and then throughout the month they post other videos 

of projects they make.

The first prompt of the year was to make a collage masterboard.

This is the masterboard that I made for this prompt.

I wasn't crazy for it at first, but it's growing on me.

A masterboard is a piece of artwork that you make,

then use to make other projects.  Many people photocopy

them and use the prints for projects.  Then they still have the

original for future use. I don't plan on doing that,

I'll just cut up mine for projects and when it's done, it's done.

I also made these two masterboards using paints.

I like these much better than my collage one.

I will probably use these for backgrounds for cards 

at some time.

I did enjoy the process of making them and will 

make more in the future.

If you are interested at all in mixed media,

pop over and check out the group on facebook.

Even if you don't follow the prompts,

you may find something that inspires you.

Nina Ribena and Kylie Coo also can be found

on YouTube.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you will come again soon.

Until then,

Happy creating!
