Why Masterboards? What’s the purpose? Why make them?

#masterboard #collageart #margaretemiller If you are not familiar with masterboards, and have questions about why someone would make one, what's the purpose, or what do you do with them when you’re done, then you've come to the right place. That's what I'm talking about in today's video. A masterboard is created from a large piece of paper that you first embellish and then cut down into smaller art. Why is using a masterboard such a great idea? Because it allows you to create a bunch of smaller art more efficiently by cutting down an embellished piece rather than if you start with the small sizes and embellish each one separately. Also, your final small art pieces all have a similar theme that you can use in other projects. I'll show you my strategies for getting the most out of a masterboard, and I'll also show you how I collage my masterboard before cutting down the sections into their final pieces. I hope you're ready for lots of ideas! 0:00 intro 0:34 the purpose of a masterboard and why they are useful 1:35 examples of a masterboard layout 2:10 how I collage a masterboard 2:37 drawing outlines of my finished art pieces 5:38 placing papers in collage 9:34 starting the second collage layer with rubber stamping and embellishments 15:16 cutting down the masterboard and the reveal of the final pieces 18:45 examples of what to do with your collaged tiny art 🎬 The video of the inkbox books made from 16 inkbox cards cut from a masterboard is here: https://youtu.be/DgWUm_I4PC0 🟢 Where to find me: My books on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XTof6F Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mellowmiller Website: https://margaretemiller.com 🔵 My membership, the Vintage & Collage Club is open! https://vintagecollage.club/ 🟣 My favorites: postal theme rubber stamp: https://amzn.to/49IJE6c assorted inkpads: https://amzn.to/42Xx693 my favorite set of washi tape: https://amzn.to/3E3angu favorite brand of gluestick: https://amzn.to/3lvC62T double-sided tape: https://amzn.to/3xcFH8G small desk organizer: https://amzn.to/3Yvvlgg large desk organizer: https://amzn.to/3RU4He9 #margaretemiller #artjournaling #collageart 🔴 I'm Margarete Miller.
