The texture board is a fantastic tool to use to enhance your work. It is a quick and easy techinque. You simply place the texture board underneath your paper and rub gently with the side of a soft pencil. There are 2 double sided boards available, one with hatch and dots, and one with leather and woodgrain textures. The texture board works best with a thin gauge paper like Bleedproof. If using with blending card you will need to press quite firmly with your pencil to achive a good result.

Guest designer Mark Wilken has given us a few examples of how he finishes off his work using the texture board.
