Basic Supply List

This is your general supply list for both master boards. It keeps things simple and open, so you can shop your own stash and use what you love. I also include a full, specific supply list with everything I used, but please do not feel like you have to buy any of it. These boards are all about using what you already have and making them your own.

THE TWO MUST HAVES

• A good mixed media paper. This is the one thing I really recommend not skimping on, since it needs to hold up to lots of spray, water, and layers.

• Distress Sprays in a color combination you love. Pick a palette that makes you happy and run with it.

FOR YOUR MASTER BOARD Use whatever you have in these categories.

• A script or text stamp

• A stamp or two to add texture, like a grunge or dotted stamp

• A stencil or two of your choice, maybe one pattern and one script

• Archival ink for your stamping and stenciling

• A dome blending tool

FOR FINISHING YOUR CARDS All your choice, so make them yours.

• Focal points, like leaf, moth, or butterfly dies, or any images you love

• Sentiments, stamped or stickers

• Vellum

• Something white for splatters

• Adhesive, plus a foam adhesive for popping pieces up

TOOLS

• Paper trimmer

• Scissors

• A die cutting and embossing machine

• Embossing folders for dry embossing

• A heat tool

• A cooling rack for spraying and drying

• A water mister or sprayer

• Paper towels and baby wipes for cleanup

• A stamp platform, if you like your stamping lined up

OPTIONAL, DEPENDING ON THE TECHNIQUES YOU WANT TO TRY

• Fiber paste for added texture

• A metallic wax for accents

• A mica stain for a little shimmer

• Rub ons for extra detail

• A sewing machine and thread for stitched accents

• Embossing powder and VersaMark, if you want to heat emboss
