Rose who said... I would love to see demo's and samples using Stampbord
In case you haven't encountered Stampbord before it's VERY hard MDF with a superior ceramic coating which is perfect for taking inks, you can heat set and emboss and I'm told you can make holes in it with a cropadile but as I don't have one, I'll have to take their word for that LOL.
I used Distress inks on the Stampbord and then Memento Tuxedo black for the Andy Skinner broken heart. When it was dry I scratched highlights in the Stampbord and used a black Copic around the edge of the pieces. I added the text sometimes because hearts do get broken 'Sometimes'.
The background, I drew the design on the card to resemble cracks in a broken window and stamped the Gothic text over this, I layered the fabric over because I liked the way the design showed through from behind. Then placed the Stampbord as if the heart was breaking and falling away.
More examples of stampbord over at the Craft Barn Blog

Wow - a lot of thought has gone into that card. It's very arty. I like it.
Thanks for the info on Stampbord . . . I have some ovals, but have never used them as I didn't know what to do with 'em!
Thanks for the info.

Great work, the colours give it a very striking and dramatic effect. And you can make holes in it with the cropadile! And in tin, leather, I think almost anything, it is a great tool! Hugs, Valerie
That stampbord looks so cool.. I have never seen it before.. I love the way the colors look on the background and the embossing really pops..
I love it. I really do.....
Hugs, Linda
Gay - this is really fabulous - very original! Love the broken glass effect and the image is brilliant.
Wow a fantastic, creative, arty card! Love the quirkiness esp. the tilting away of the last tile in the triptych. The colours work so beautifully together with that gothic feel. I'm in awe :) Px
Another thoroughly fabulous card Gay, so much work and thought go into your creations. This is a beautiful and dynamic piece.

Okay, MAC, I have never understood this kind of art. I find it very pretty and like the behind the paper touch. I really like your ceramic image too!
