A little while back I showed you some DIY scratchboard on a card – today I’m back with a more fine art kind of piece with more control and detail!

This time I trusted the pros: they make a really NICE scratchboard as compared to my DIY, and wow did it make a difference! I did some online searching lately and found other scratchboard artists doing crazy beautiful things and I have a lot to learn – which is my sweet spot anyway, I love learning new things!
Watch the video below or click here to see it on YouTube.
While MY inks didn’t work as hoped, I’m still tickled pink at how this came out! I even put it in the shop.

I found the inspiration video!
The “Maxwell technique of adding color to scratchboard” is here.
