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.
For a chance to win a texture board of your choice, ‘Like’ us on facebook and leave us a comment on our blog telling us why you would like to win! Competition closes May 24, 2011, winner will be annonced May 25, 2011. This competition is for Australian and NZ residents only.
