#09 Triptych

Welcome to our May Challenge.

Sadly we are losing Sue Scrumplescrunch from the team after this month's challenge, so I am running a mini DT call. If you think you might like to join us here either add DT after your linky name, or drop me a line at the address in the sidebar.
Thanks for all your hard work Sue!!!

Our theme for the month is a Triptych.

A triptych is a work of art that is divided into three sections, or three carved panels that are hinged together and can be folded shut or displayed open.

 

Our host is Rita Marie, and she will be choosing our Winner and Top 5.

 

Instead of a physical prize this month we would like to offer our Winner a Guest Designer spot for a future challenge.

 

 We hope our fabulous Design Team can inspire you. Please pop by their blogs and show them your appreciation

This Triptych was so much fun to do! I have never tried this before and I just had a blast. This one is made from a little cardboard pieces I had purchased online years ago and never used them until Lin suggested this project for May.  I'm so happy I got a chance to make one. Now I have collaged on this and painted and used lots of yummy stuff.  I will have a video for this one too.  Thank you! xo

For my triptych I used corrugated card, white Gesso, crackle media, metallic paints and guilding wax, alcohol inks on acetate, acrylic paints and found objects.

Jan

I decided to create a journal page with my triptych, it was inspired by the eclipse of the sun on March 20th. I used Distress Inks, stencils, Tim Holtz and Lyn Perrella stamps and embossing powders.

Lula

For my triptych I altered 3 boxes  using tissue stamping, acrylic paints and alcohol inks along with stenciling and masking.

I used a Dutch Doobadoo MDF Triptych for my project, which I coloured with Gelatos, adding some texture paste and my images from Vera Lane Studio.  More details are on my blog

Angela @ Felix the Crafty Cat

For my Triptych I used a Wooden Triple Icon which was stenciled using Grunge Paste and Ferro then
painted using chalk paints, including a crackle effect. Next I stamped it using a Paper Artsy stamp set by JOFY and finished it using Treasure Gold. If you would like more details please go to my BLOG.

Jolanda

I made this triptych out of hardboard. Painted with Inka Gold.

You can find more details & photo's on my blog!

Carole

I have used a piece of card from a packing box, and three pieces of mountboard to create my Triptych with acrylic paint, textutre paste and die cuts.

Shilpa

I totally enjoyed working on these three piece mixed media. I've created background with embossed paper, Wendy Vecchi embossing powder, stamping and watercolors. And girl's pictures are from free vintage images from Pinterest. Come over to my blog Neon Diary for individual piece photos and more information.

Hi everyone Angela here and pleased to be hosting the Masterboard challenge.

So lets get started!

Claudia

I created a masterboard from a left over Gelli plate print on which I stamped a lovely crow pattern in black archival ink and then sprinkled some Mister paints

I altered an emptied chocolate box with it. The bright orange was already there and fit perfectly. B&W Washi tape was added for further embellishment.

Jan

I created a Masterboard using opaque and translucent paints which I brayered onto wax tissue paper to add layers and depth. Then I stamped over the top also using paints. Die cuts and an embossed title finished it off.

I used the paper to cover a cheap notebook.

I made Coasters.

Lula

I made the masterboard using acrylic paints along with stencils and stamps.

I altered a gift bag with it.

Kerstin

I  used the imitation technology ' Abklatschtechnik' for my masterboard
with wallpaper glue and acrylic paints.

It was a perfect background for my favourite saying in a simple
picture frame.

Rita Marie

This master board was made with my gelli print I made using stencils and acrylic paints, and then I added stamps.  I cut pieces to fit some recipe cards I had to make post cards for Happy Mail.  I doodled and added gesso and water color crayons. Now I have three pretty postcards to mail out. Lots of Fun! I will have a short tutorial up on my blog for more info on how I made these.  Thank you! xo

Jolanda

I made this masterboard with my gelli-plate, acrylic & distress paints, stencils etc
I decorated the rocking horse with this print & lots of ornaments mod molds!

Shilpa

Hello Everyone, I made this Masterboard with stamping and Distress stain sprays. And here is the project you will see how I've used it.

I've created this mixed media piece. I made pieces of my Masterboard and used as a collage in the background. Come to my blog 'Neon Diary' to check out the details.

 Susanne

Hi everyone. I created a lid for a gift package using my Masterboard. I used stamps from Designs by Ryn Tanaka. Visit my blog  to check out the details.

I really wanted to play in this one, but about ten days ago my back just went 'pop' and I have been in a lot of pain ever since. Bending and climbing up are just too painful to negotiate my craft room, so sadly have not been able to join in, but luckily for me my team NEVER let me down with there amazing talents.

Thank you Team!

Now over to you talented people. We all look forward to seeing what you can create.

Just for this occasion we will allow cards as your final piece, as long as you show us your Masterboard first, it can then be cut up and used on a card. 

We have had an email entry from Jennifer
Here is her masterboard

and the ATCs she created from it
