Recently I decided I just wanted to play with inks and embossing powders and well, let's just say I wanted to get inky. I decided that making a masterboard would fulfill my needs.
I started out from a page from an old atlas...the pages with all the city listings. I love these pages - so much potential! I started inking...scraping the ink across the page with a squeegee this way and that. Dragging lots and dragging a little.
Next a bit of stenciling
Some stamping, some embossing even a bit of pen work and doodling.
And I ended up with a whole sheet of inky goodness to create with.
I made 5 cards, 2 ATC's and I even had left overs that I'm going to use as book marker/tags.
