 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel. It's Eva from Bohemian Crafting Today's video. It's coming by my my confusion Lately I see many artists many jungle journal creators to use Masterboard and I was a little bit confused by that But what that mean why it's now the paper which from the first point of view looks like clash paper It's called now Masterboard. So I did my Small research on Google and today I'm coming to share with you how I do understand It doesn't have to be for everybody same But I how I do understand those differences between a franken paper, a collage paper and Masterboard for all of them You can use your scraps everything you saved in the past From your previous projects you can use now And I'm gonna start with franken paper and then we will continue So for franken paper we gonna use the scraps and for franken paper. It's good if you know Both sides of your paper What is the difference and if you actually like both sides of your paper because franken paper it's Visible from both sides. I mean the background of your paper will be visible Because you are gluing the papers together just with edges and Here putting them to larger sheet So if you don't like really don't like one side of your paper you should save it for collage paper That is the difference that franken paper It's like stitched from many pieces to one large one and You can actually see both these sides So you will glue your pages or your scraps together in One large project and you can add it it added those papers By looking on both sides and kind of putting it together. Oh look at me good Put in it together By looking on both sides to make sure you actually like what you create So if this will be here From other side, I will see this one and I'm okay with that. So I'm gonna glue it here This one is the same from both sides Yeah, I Don't need that big and once you have some larger piece done You can take a ruler and just cut with a ruler or paper to the straight position And you do have done your Franken paper where you can see both sides of your scraps. So for franken paper I Would say be more careful of the choice of your papers if you don't like One side of your paper save it for collage paper, which is coming now For collage paper you should use some base it can be cardstock it can be Normal paper or if it can be even old Wrapping or packing paper as I am using here and on that paper you are putting your scraps and Again, you are creating kind of like your pattern And you can use any kind of scraps you like and for this paper It's best to use scraps from the paper where you maybe don't like one one side Let's say here if I will choose I don't like this one and I will definitely use this so I will save these For my collage paper and I will glue them on my base sheet The way I would like to see that paper. So if I don't like this this this size I will definitely use that top one and again like before you are creating from your scraps Some kind of pattern like here This is kind of too dark. I like it, but it's too dark So I will rather use this a little bit softer side And that way with your scraps you're gonna create your amazing collage paper and Really, it depends how you would like to use your scraps if you want to have more of it or more dimensional so As many layers you will add maybe you want to add also Offcuts from die cutting use it for that and that way you will create your collage paper which is from the pieces on one side and One solid pattern on other side. That's from my understanding is collage paper and now masterboard so that was what was confusing to me and I went to Google and I found that masterboard has few different Explanations, but all of them are kind of in mixed media style from the dictionary The masterboard is a calcium silicate board reinforced with selected fibers and fillers and it's sanded on the One side and smooth on that reverse side From art the masterboard is a self-made mixed media patterned paper That the artist creates herself and by that I do understand that masterboard It's something where you can use paper fabric Modeling paste and you are creating your own Basic paper which you will use later In your project and that's what you will create now. I'm gonna start again With my scraps, but this time I'm gonna pull out also scraps from my fabrics And I will add them here and there in my board. So I do have here my scraps I do have bunch of fabric and there are also pieces like this and I think yeah pieces of lace and Cheesecloth so that's what I've got here and I'm gonna start again with the paper. I'm gonna put my scraps on that On that base paper in some kind of pattern and then we will build The rest around So I did glue to my paper, which is now collage paper and from that I'm gonna go a little bit a little bit more And that's my understanding what actually Masterboard is that you will add there also different things than it's just paper You will add their paintings. You will add their Modeling paste you will add their pieces of fabric Maybe you will even song through to that paper and do a little bit more than it's just collage paper which is Mostly just from from paper So this is my understanding and I'm gonna use few different things Which I think they should be on Masterboard So first I'm using Very weird Pieces of fabric. Oh my what is that? Oh, okay Yeah, and because there can be used also modeling paste and Stumps and paintings He's gonna go for it and I'm gonna use it here as well If you would like to know how to Start on your empty page, I would highly recommend Marta from Mare Mismol Art She did in the past few amazing tutorials and I think it's called how to break blank page I know it's for mixed media for those beautiful beautiful mixed media projects, but It's it's a really perfect tutorial how to start How do not be afraid to put something on the paper if you are not sure what you actually want to create Her tutorials with this how to break blank page. I do believe it's called it this way They are just amazing really you will learn so much and she always finished. I think she mostly finished One or two those those basic boards. She created so go to have a look I will try to find the link at least for one of these tutorials from that you can go and Find those others But I think she does have at least three Videos on this thing maybe even more But they are really amazing amazing So I'm editing my fabrics To that board and I think I'm gonna place one more here And then I'm gonna have a look what kind of paste or painting I want to use And I'm gonna do also a little bit of painting Here this one So I decided to go with white acrylic paint and first I'm gonna use my braille and go with braille just Here and there and add there some painting But I don't want to cover it too much with that painting. I still want to see my papers underneath So I go like really very lightweight not too much To make sure I will still see the patterns, but there will be some kind of painting Sorry for that noise Good is that on those fabrics you can also clean your Braille and then what I will do I think I Will try to do If that is possible Some heavy splashes. Yeah, even these Why not and I'm gonna take my I'm gonna take my heating tool And just died and as you can see I do have really heavy splashes, so I'm gonna leave it there I'm gonna take my heating tool and dry my board so I think my Masterboard it's the eye that painting and I'm gonna do there a little bit more. So I'm gonna take my glue It doesn't matter how what kind of glue you're gonna use it will works with any kind of glue, I guess and I've got here cinnamon The spice you are using in the kitchen and I'm gonna do I'm gonna do a Little bit rusty effect So I'm adding glue and I'm spreading the cinnamon on it and with brush Yeah, this way it will be best so with my finger. I am editing a Glue on the spots. I want kind of spread it the way I want and With the brush with the brush. I'm editing the cinnamon one more time cinnamon The spice we are using in the kitchen. I am creating kind of like rusty Rusty effect on my paper. So I do have my masterboard done But it's not done totally those last touches will be when I will create actually something from that masterboard So I will add those last touches and that it's what is it about? That you are creating some kind of papers Franklin paper I will totally use as a journal pages because it's just called They are just calling for that to be used in journal as a journaling pages. They are amazing to look They are so interesting to look at that. So Frank and paper where you can see both sides of your papers. I will use as a journal pages The collage paper I will probably use for pockets tacks and Some decorations some small decorations in my journals So I would create basics like this The string envelope because I just love these envelopes and it's very easy to create it with those collage papers base for my postcard base for attack and Also some mini folder because they are just so cute to add them to your journals and what I will create from Masterboard that will be probably Not probably that will be definitely frames because it has so much so much texture and base for ATC cards Like this. So these are my ATCs ready to be decorated and used for Artist trading cards and these are my very unique frames and I really love them Every single one is unique every single one looks different and they do have already texture because of those laces and fabric I used And I think that it's a very decorative way to use your scraps And I actually like if I do understand Right what the Masterboard means I Actually like to create my frames for my journals this way. So I guess If I didn't understand right, please feel free to correct me in the comments down below I will love to hear from you how you do understand those differences between Frankenpaper like this Between collage paper which we can use for tax folders maybe postcards once I will decorate it, of course our pockets and That Masterboard Which I think it's the best to use for frames because it does have that beautiful texture and for ATC cards so this was my sharing for today my Understanding of these differences. I hope you did enjoy it. I hope you like it. Thank you so much for visiting me today Thank you so much for jumping in and spending your time with me today.
