Thanks so much for your kind comment Lorraine 💕

Thanks Susan, I really appreciate your kind words 💕

Aw, thank you! 😊💕😊

Thanks Sherry, it’s much easier to apply the wax this way, but I do love the build up by using a brush as well 💕

Thanks so much Annie. I did chuckle at you getting the days muddled up. I had exactly the same conversation with Steve’s mums a couple of days ago as last Sunday she convinced herself it was Monday and could ‘t understand why all her favourite TV programmes weren’t on. All the days seem to blend into one at the moment don’t they. Will we ever return to normal 😂💕❤️😘

Thanks Cindy 💕

Thank you 💕

Thanks Cheryl. I’m really pleased with these Masterboards 💕

Thanks Kim. I find Masterboards very useful and fun to create, and as I said I’m addicted to using the wax 💕

You will have great fun playing with those Edna. Enjoy 💕

Thank you 💕

Thank you 💕

Merci beaucoup 💕

Thanks so much Pam 💕

Thanks so much for your lovely words Laura. Its great to hear you are enjoying the prompts. I’ve used the iron for all sorts of crafts and it’s great for pressing flowers as well as there is no steam. Have a wonderfully creative week 💕

Thanks Jennifer, they are fun to make and very useful to have available as you can make all sorts with them. I hope you’ll give it a try 💕

Thanks so much Martha 💕

Thanks Jackie. I find the Masterboards so helpful and versatile. They are so much fun to create too. Look forward to seeing your creations 💕

Happy Creating 💕

Thanks Maggie. Happy Creating 💕

Thanks Kylie, its so much easier using an iron 💕

Wonderful!

Thanks Laurie. I’ll try and do more of them 💕

Its so much fun isn’t it Angie. I can’t ever see me tiring of this 💕 xx

Thanks Sandra. You might be interested in my previous vellum video as I make vellum paper from one of my Masterboards and use it in a project. It turned out great kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJuRi7OZy5mngKc.html

Thanks Karen, it’s fun isn’t it. Maybe try it with a regular household candle first and see if you like it 💕

Thanks so much for your kind words. You’ve made my day 💕💕💕

Thanks Debbie. I just love the waxed look. Its dark and grungy and that really appeals to me. Your mini crock pot sounds ideal. Happy creating and have a wonderful week 💕

Thanks Jane, glad you like them 💕

Thanks Yvonne 💕

Good morning Lena. I think the wax adds such a lovely look, and love the way the layers become so translucent. I hope you have a good week too. Its been wet and miserable for the past week or more, so hoping the sun will come out this week 🤞💕 xxx

I have built up a lovely collection of ephemera over the years and I’m thoroughly enjoying using it for Masterboards. Completely addicted to using wax right now too. Have a wonderful week 💕

Thanks Bonnie 💕

Thanks Becky 💕

Thank you. I love the effect the wax gives 💕

Thanks so much Isobel. You can get a similar effect with household candle wax too 💕

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia awh thankyou 👌☘

Thanks Elaine, I thought they might have come from you, but I wasn’t sure. Aren’t they pretty 💕 xx

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia oh yes I've used a few of them myself, I have Butterflies too I think I sent you some of those too. 😁😁❤️🌼

Thanks Mags, no I won’t be selling them as I’ve used stickers and other non vintage ephemera on them, but these are OK to copy for my own personal use. Have a wonderful week 💕 xxxxx

Thanks Lorraine, I must experiment more with my printer. Its a new HP professional laster jet which I’m really impressed with. It was nearly out of yellow ink which I’ve now replaced, so it will be interesting to see if that makes a difference. I did try scanning on the printer as well as in natural daylight, and photocopying, but couldn’t get a true colour. Thinking it might be my settings. 🤞💕

Hello Lovey Evelyn. If you are not precious about your iron, I would try that. The wax simply slides off once its heated, but you might get some accumulating around the holes. Not tried it, so don’t hold me to that! Your glue melting pot should also work. You get a very different look applying melted wax with a brush, and its lovely. The iron method is easier though I have to admit. Experiment, and see what happens. Enjoy and Happy Creating 💕🥰

Thanks Ember 💕

Hello Joy, that’s good to hear. We’ve been receiving updates for our community representatives in Mijas. Not sure we’ll get out there this year due to the quarantine situation and we will miss it greatly. Lets hope we can irradiate or at least bring this pandemic under control as quickly as possible 💕

Nina Ribena I think they're going to give up doing quarantine, depends on what happens with the German experiment in Mallorca, xxJoy

Beautiful! I just love your masterboard too Nina. Talented lady you are💕. I just find it so difficult to source old papers etc for using to make collages/masterboards etc. When narrowing it down I get so confused with the whole copyright question that I end up too nervous to use little bits n pieces that I may have bought for purposes of making say a journal that I would want to sell... Any advice on the topic would be most welcome. 👍 I seemed to go round and round the same question a ND find it hampers my progress somehow. Sorry I hope I have not gone off topic here. Beautiful video... thanks again 💗

Thank you 💕

Thanks Charmaine, Kylie and I did a lot of research earlier on in the year regarding copyright and angel policies and this is the message I pinned in the previous collage masterboard video. Angel Policies & Copyright which you might find helpful. There seems to be a lot of confusion following our recent Masterboard Prompt, especially regarding the use of stamped images and whether it is legal to use them in our Masterboards and then copy them for our own personal use. Kylie and I have carried out an extensive amount of research regarding this, and it is our conclusion that if you scan or photocopy your Masterboard for your own PERSONAL use, even if you have stamped an image on it, you are NOT IN BREACH OF COPYRIGHT. There are no terms of use on stamp packaging because the term ANGEL POLICY is not a legally recognised one. You as the buyer would have to agree to the terms and conditions PRIOR to the purchase of the stamp. No contract has been established between the copyright holder and the buyer and the Angel Policy is therefore NOT legally enforceable. Many of the common stamps we all use have been created from images in the public domain, and these are not copyrightable and you are free to use them as you wish. A stamp can be copyrighted, however for the copyright to be granted, the image would have to be be changed so significantly from one in the public domain (for example a butterfly or a flower) that it was not recognisable from the original image. Please be clear that we would not condone copyright infringement and we ourselves would never knowingly do so. We are referring here to a very specific use and would always suggest that if anyone is unsure about their use then they look at Copyright Law. If anyone requires any further clarification, there is a great site which contains a wealth of valuable Angel Policy and Copyright information if you are interested. Tabberone.com

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia thank you so much for taking the time to explain the copyright findings. Yes I looked at the Angel Policy but it left me with lots of unanswered questions. I think one can only do one's best to be aware and respectful in this regard as far as possible, agreed. I will look through the the site you have suggested. Much appreciated and thank again. ❤️

Thanks Devanagari. I got the wax from Amazon, but you could always try it with a regular household candle first, like I did with the vellum papers, to see if you like it first. Happy Creating 💕

Thanks Yvonne, that’s good to hear, and yes, you can use an ordinary candle to do this as well. Happy Creating 💕

I collect them from charity shops, antique stores, ebay, old books ......l so,e have also been sent to me in happy mail too 💕

Thanks Marina, they do come out darker, and especially with the text papers I used. I love that grungy look, but I can see how it wouldn’t appeal to everyone 💕 xxx

Yes, no smudging at all. I also added some white highlights with a gel pen afterwards and all is good 💕

Hi Sandra. I used R & F Encaustic Medium which you can purchase from Amazon. You can also use beeswax or even a regular white candle. Happy Creating 💕

I resisted for a long time too, and it took as long for me to pluck up the courage to try it too 😂. Don’t know what was holding me back as an love it! The iron is definitely quicker and easier and is great for flatter projects that you want to pop in a journal and of course great for making vellum paper too. But I do love the building up the melted wax with a brush too and it gives a completely different effect. Its more time consuming and takes a bit of getting used to to achieve an even finish. Several people have suggested using one of those cheap mug warmers to melt the wax in. I think you can pick them up for around a fiver. You could then melt the wax in a small foil tray. You need something that will keep the wax at an even temperature that is not too hot. I picked my chocolate warmer up for around £5 or £6 from eBay and it works a treat. Hope that helps 💕

I used R & F encaustic was which has resin in it, although you can use bee wax or even candle wax. If you place a piece of copier paper over your finished piece iron over it, it should remove any excess wax. I have not sealed mine as the wax should do that for you. But do experiment in the heat first. Happy Creating 💕

Thanks Pauline, we’ve just invested in a new printer and its amazing. Its an HP Office Jet Pro 7740 💕

Nina Ribena thank you so much for letting me know the printer details. I need a new one so I check it out. Look all your videos so much inspiration. I have what seems like a mountain of white paper strips 120gms 2.5inches wide and I’m at a loss what to do with them. Any ideas as I don’t want to throw them away.

No, Just the front and it seeped through to the other side perfectly 💕

Thanks for this tip Sarah. I’m a newbie to encaustic and just at the experimenting stage. I did think about buffing the one I applied with the brush, but it never occurred to me to buff the others. Thanks so much for your suggestion 💕 x

Nina Ribena i love it i will have to dig out my encaustic iron and waxes and play its been along time lol. I love your idea on Porous paper to make it translucent such a great idea. The buffing works best on non porous but worth a go xx

Hi PattyAnn, I don’t sell my backgrounds no, although you might want to watch tonight’s video!!! I have never had any issue with the wax cracking or scratching because I am using such a thin layer 💕

No it doesn’t. I’ve tried making vellum with baby oil, and that leaves a horrible oily residue, but wax is great 💕

No, it was one of the cheapest I could find on Amazon with a flat bed and no vents. I think it was £11 💕

Not at all. They are very similar to tea cards. Back in the late 1800’s and early to mid 1900’s, many of the cigarette brands added these to stiffen their packets and advertise their brand. Of course it encouraged collectors too 💕

3 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches.

Hi Kim, ATC's are 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches or 65mm by 90mm. Have fun, they can become very addictive to make, a lot of mine are the result of trying out a new technique on a small piece of art work. Jackie

Thanks @Jackie and @Debbie. I watched Kylies video and she mentioned it. Thank you both for the reply though 👍🏻

Sorry Kim, I should have mentioned the sizes. Glad you’ve now got them though 💕
