Thanks fo...Hi Elizabeth, hope you're both well. Thanks for the mention that's really kind. I actually first heard about Masterboards in a Stampington Stampers' Sampler magazine. It's not a very common magazine in the UK but a few craft companies have them. I was so surprised that I hadn't thought of the idea before and from then on was well and truly won over. That must have been around 2010 and I have been making them ever since. I normally work on A3 but any size is good, we don't like rules anyway Lol! Great stamps too, I must give that one a go. Take care and happy crafting, Angela xFelix the Crafty Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275183935291510409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-78940636683510422492015-10-25T06:53:08.000-05:002015-10-25T06:53:08.000-05:00Thanks for sharing your techniques--the styro stam...Thanks for sharing your techniques--the styro stamps and their handles are a great idea!

(if I used them for backgrounds?) you are the first to introduce me to the term. Guess since I'm not a stamper either, I haven't seen the right blogs! I really like the way your homemade stamps and string created a pattern! and love the raven stamp too...it will be fun to see what your masterboards end up as!

I looks as though you had a lot of fun as one thing led to another!! I love the colour combination! I do use paint on my stamps but have to remember to spritz them with water straight away so that the paint doesn't dry and clog them up! Looking forward to seeing what you make with them!

I didn't try doing it that way, but it would be a good way of getting backgrounds. Your stamps are impressive! I'd never have thought of using styrofoam!

You shouldn't try to control everything....I really like where the string dropped. You should add more of that unplanned dropped imprints. Remember it's all about layers n layers n layers...on top of each other. - the Girls and I are still busy sorting and organizing my new studio. They run off with all the bits of fabric and ribbon :) And of course claim any size box empty or not that's within their reach. ;) Hugs to you Bleubeard n Squiggles from me and the Girls.

I'm not quite sure I understand the masterboard theory. Is it like a background and then you cut the ATC's or whatever you want?

I use most of stamps with paint, ink, glue at various times, and it doesn't damage them at all if you wash them off afterwards. I am looking forward to seeing what you create with your masterboard.
