MMA~Create a Masterboard

You'll have two partners for this swap. I Googled rubber stamp masterboards and found a ton of sites to check out if you are not familiar. That was so fun. My thanks to Kirstyenaro in the Rubber Stamping group for introducing me to this fun technique and for allowing me to adapt it for this group. I know I shall do it more.

•Simply take an 8.5 x 11 piece of card stock or something thicker. Rubber stamp all over your paper and don't worry about how it will look once it is cut. You'll be amazed at how neat they will turn out. After you've finished cut into four pieces. Try to make each piece as equal as possible and cut neatly. Use a paper cutter or measure for accuracy!

•Your cardstock or other paper can be white, colored or painted. You may also add glitter or paint sprays for color/decor.

•At a minimum you MUST use THREE different stamps and THREE different colored ink pads. You can use more than three of each, but three is the minimum. ANY stamps and any colors as long as there is a minimum of three of each;)

•If your standard paper is a bit smaller or larger than USA's paper, it's OK to use those and still do the same thing.

•You will have two partners to send FOUR pieces of master board (page cut in fours). Try to send a variety, not just four pieces of one stamped paper. At least two different themes. Once you start, you'll find you want to keep going. You can send more than four if you like.

•Master boards are to be senders choice for two partners.

•FINALLY, this is a mixed-media group, perfection is not the rule. You may do some with light ink and some with dark. Mix it up so some come forward and some recede. No sloppy stamping! Make a nice piece for someone to use as a background. It's also OK if some overlap. Make it artistic.
