Private Swap: Mixed Media Masterboard

Private swap between Wittmert and JulyBaby59 based on Stephie Dee's Mixed Media masterboard swap as JulyBaby59 is not yet eligible (description below taken from Stephie's swap).

A masterboard is a large background piece designed to be cut up and used in smaller projects, such as ATC's, postcards and journal pages. They can be created with ink, paint, rubber stamps, collage - or any combinations thereof. For this swap, we will be creating mixed media masterboards.

Create one 8.5" x 11" masterboard for one partner. The substrate you start with needs to be something sturdy, such as card stock, watercolor paper, recycled file folder, etc. You will need to use at least THREE mediums from the list below in the creation of your masterboard (substrate not included). This is sender's choice as far as colors, theme and selected mediums.

paper (collage) spray paint textile (fibers, lace, cloth) pastels pencil ink pen markers watercolors water-soluble crayons acrylic paint gesso ink pads (stamped directly or with objects &/or stamps) alcohol ink & other fluid inks, stains or dyes For example, the swap graphic (a masterboard I made last year) combines collage, ink (bingo markers & stamped from ink pads) and acrylic paint on watercolor paper. It was then cut up and used for ATC bases (here, here & here).

You'll have plenty of time to work on making an interesting masterboard that you would be happy to receive yourself. When creating your masterboard, it's easier to think of it in parts, instead of focusing on what it will look like as a completed (whole) piece. Random is good.

Because this is meant to be a background piece, to be used and added to by your partner, please stay away from chunky embellishments and DO NOT seal it with anything. When your masterboard is finished, send it to your partner flat in a large envelope. Include a note explaining what went in to the creation of your masterboard.
