Trizzy sent me a stampbord triptych a couple of months ago, and I loved the idea, so I made this one to give as a Christmas present.
I took two of the 2 x 1 inch pieces, drenched with water and zapped with a hot heat gun until they bubbled.
I used fluid chalk inks to colour the bubbled pieces and a 2 x 2 inch piece, then stamped images using Chapel Road stamps and Stazon ink.
I scraped and scratched here and there, but you can hardly tell as when I added a layer of glossy accents to seal it and give it a shine, the ink dissolved just enough that the scratches disappeared!
Finally, I added tiny hinges, and coloured the edges and hinges with a brown Sharpie pen.

What a neat triptych. I love the idea of the bubbles.
