You will be required to add: Texture Color One additional element of choice (You can repeat one of the two required elements using a different technique.) Two more requirements are: Your base should be at least* as heavy as a cereal box. Your base must be white. (If there is interest we can do this again, switching base colors / technique requirements) It should easily fit into an 8.5 x 11 envelope to mail flat*. That's it. Have fun!

If the texture we add is colored, or the color covers the whole page, how is it important that the background is white. While I have made many masterboards (just did not call them thta) I just am not understanding how I should makeTHIS masterboard.

Ok, my thought process in adding the white was this. Many people use cereal boxes to create masterboards. Adding paint / gesso will strengthen the thin cardboard.

I struggled with making a certain # paper as a base. I use 120# or 140# cold press watercolor board as a base so it can be sent as a postcard or stand as an ATC after adding info. but everyone does this differently and no one way is right or wrong. I was just trying to consider everyone's methods.
