She Will Not Fail

A couple of days ago I started another Masterboard, this time for a girl theme.  I had been tossing the pink summery colors into a separate little box, which made it super easy to sort and see what I had available. 

For the base I used a piece of Canson Watercolor paper which is 140#.  This is a good weight as it holds the weight of the additional pieces and yet it isn't too think when it's time to cut the board.  I also tend to keep most of my shapes around 3" square or smaller unless it's a special print or embellishment.

Here's the first step of the masterboard with the the colors applied.

Each color coordinating piece is cut and randomly secured, some overlapping and some glued to the edge of the next paper.  Next I took a simple 'doodle stamp set ' and randomly stamped flowers and leaves over the page. I added three different styles of washi tape across the paper seams until I had everything covered that I wanted.

Normally at this point I would stop and not cut the board apart until I had images ready to apply.  However, today I had an image waiting for a piece of this background.

At Stamp Camp 2025, I had borrowed Ccolorado Crafts STAMPtember Collaboration / Simon Says Stamps~ Lovely Legs.  I  stamped the image then used my Copic markers for coloring.  To me the hardest part is deciding where to cut the masterboard for the card.  This image required a large portion and you hate to cover it up!  

But I ended up going vertical using the area just above the red polka dotted border.  Again, normally I would have left a lot more of the background showing, but that's just not possible on all card designs.

 The card ended up being a 4" by 8" slimline design.  I added the star strips to the top and bottom, the shine embellishment and then the black liner mat before attaching to the card base.  I really like how it turned out and appreciate you coming by to see what I've been coloring.
