Masterboard and Crazy Birds

Hi Everyone and I hope 2016 has started well for you.

I haven't posted for quite a while so thought I would start with a Birthday card I made for our friend Ken.  His Wife, Eileen Godwin will be known by a lot of you and she is the one who showed me the technique of the Masterboard which I used as the base for this card.  Eileen's blog can be seen here where you can see a list of her workshops.

I used distress inks, stencils, heavy gesso, stamps and a white gel pen for this along with one of Tim Holtz Crazy bird stamps.

Hope January is good for you all.  Kx
