Grungeboard is fine for small books, the tricky part is keeping it flat if you heat it to speed up the paint drying.

Have fun

Billie :)

Book covers is exactly what I had in mnd for my grungeboard, glad to know it has the potential to turn out so well.

If you want some tips on painting on grungeboard watch this space. I have a grungeboard bracelet going up on You Tube & on here next month. It will show a bracelet from start to finish and you will see how I stamp and paint on to the board.

I’m just waiting for hitch fastners to arrive, so I can film an assembly video. I need to upload the episodes in reverse order to You Tube or the last one will show before the first one.

Its a lot of fun, if you are not confident stamping on a textured surface, go for the plain board. That’s what I used for this book. Go for Grunge Board rather than paper for both the bracelets and bookcovers. Grunge paper isn’t strong enough.

Have fun

Billie :)

Never done anything with grunge board before … never even heard of it before you started talking about it recently!

Thanks :) :) :) what a lovely thing to say {kiss} It is really hard to photograph the colors. It looks like old brass kind of effect.

Hugs

Billie :)

This is spectacular! What a lovely job you’ve done on it. It really has that old, be careful when you touch, quality about it. So beautiful – Kudos!!!
