diecuts and punches - a Chocolate baroque masterboard come canvas!

Good morning all! Happy Easter to you! I hope you have a wonderful time! Shaun's off for a few days now so we're looking forward to an extended weekend doing lots of things together. We're hoping to go off up to Lake District again today - depending on the weather of course.  I hope you've got some fun planned over the Easter weekend too.

Today I have an 8 x 8 inch canvas to share with you that I made using the masterboard technique that I learned at the workshop I went to with Hels back in February. The details are here.


In this case I punched a martha Stewart double sided vine punch and some tattered florals and some TH lattice diecuts and stuck them to the white card that meaured 7 inches square. I used some sprays in blues and purples to colour the background the background  then cut into 9 squares once it had dried.


I stamped some images from the chocolate baroque patchwork landscape set, coloured them and fussy cut them the added them to the squares. I also added some metallic parts and some words.


Finally I stuck the squares onto a canvas that I had painted back with black gesso. I think you can see the lattice diecuts well in the bottom right square - but the rest have been lost somewhat in the photography.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

stamping sensationssirstampalotchallenge: Diecuts and punches
Simon says stamp Monday simonsaysstampblog- Winged things
Sweet stampin' sweetstampinchallengeblog- flowers
Totally Gorjusstotallygorjuss: charms.

I'd also like to share with you today the easter cards that I have made for the girls - using two of the new annabel stamps from LOTV.


This is the card for Lucy. She likes her bike.


This one is for penny - she's very playful!

I'd like to enter these for the AG LOTV challenge at ribbongirls.

Thanks for visiting today and I hope to see you again soon! Big hugs rachel xx

  8. Gorgeous work Rachel - love that master board technique. I have a technique that I call master board too but Hels way of doing it gives so much texture so will have to try this soon. Both cards for the girls are lovely! Hope you all have a lovely Easter x
