Make and Use a Masterboard

Hi everyone,
Welcome to our April Challenge.


Our theme for this month is to
A masterboard is a large background piece designed to be cut up and used in smaller projects, such as journals, postcards, cards, ATC's etc. It can be created with any combination of collage, paint, inks, sprays, rubber stamps, stencils. 

 



I  used the imitation technology ' Abklatschtechnik' for my masterboard
with wallpaper glue und acrylic paints
silver and black

  • stärkeren Zeichenkarton gleichmäßig mit dünnen Leim bestreichen
  • in den noch nassen Leim kontrastreiche Farben wie bspw. Schwarz geben, egal in welcher Form - streifenförmig oder als Tropfen oder oder ...
  • dann den Zeichenkarton in der Mitte falten, so das die linke und rechte Kleisterseite aufeinander liegen
  • mit den Fingerkuppen auf der Außenseite darüber streichen
  • und jetzt wieder auseinander ziehen
  • voila fertig ist ein mittelsymmetrisches Muster
 

ich musste natürlich auch noch was Neues probieren ;-)
so habe ich nach dem Auseinanderziehen noch zusätzliche Strukturen eingebracht

mit dem oben abgebildeten Gerät, man kann aber auch vieles andere nehmen
bspw. Gabeln
oder wie hier zu sehen getrocknete Farnblätter, aber auch Schablonen sind möglich

es entstehen immer neue fantasiereiche Muster

Tipp:
der Trocknungsprozess lässt sich enorm mit dem Heißluftfön beschleunigen!





It was a perfect background for my favourite saying in a simply picture frame.
