Masterboard and a Postcard

Posted in Masterboards, Postcards, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , on January 15, 2017 by craftytrog

I got out all my Seth Apter stencils, stamps and PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paints the other day, and made myself this luscious masterboard.

I then cut it up, as I needed to make some cards. But first, I used a 6×4 inch piece to make this postcard for a swap that I’m taking part in, on the UK Stampers Forum on Facebook.

Posted in Artful Times Challenge, Compendium Of Curiosities Challenge, Postcards on September 29, 2012 by craftytrog

I’ve been having a little play with a couple of the many new Tim stamp sets, that I bought recently! ;o) I’ve used Classics 1 & Mini Blueprints to make my postcard for the Artful Times Challenge. This challenge is sponsored by Oyster Stamps.

The Compendium of Curiosities 2 Challenge 23 is to use Distress Markers, as per Tim’s intructions on page 50 of his book, so I’ve used them to colour my images. Linda has a wonderful selection of Tim goodies as this week’s prize, so what are you waiting for?!

The Distress pens I used on my postcard were peeled paint, crushed olive, tumbled glass & broken china.

Thanks for looking,

Alison xxx
