Retro Over on the Tando blog

 Hi everyone Dee here with my post for Retro week, I hope you are all keeping safe and managing to get some craft time in. 

I have gone right out of my comfort zone with this tag using Tim Holtz stamps and Cosmic Shimmer pigment paint and matt paint. Andy skinners transfers from Creative Expressions.

A Tando Tag was the perfect substrate for this project.

Thank you for popping by

Anything goes over at Tando creative

 Hi everyone I hope you are all keeping safe and are not to worn down by the restrictions. I have created a Christmas's tag for my project this week.

Using a Tando creative tag I gave it a coat of Gesso followed by sparkle paste from #creativeexpressions and #Tandostencils mini snowflake. I also used a large snowflake from Tando which I gave a coat of gesso followed by sparkle paste. Once it was all dry I spritzed with Airless misters from #Cosmicshimmer fabulous sprays.

Thats all for now folks stay safe

A Box for my earrings using #Mitform_castings

I made a box for my earrings as my dressing table is always full of them and i am always worried i will lose one. I created this box using an old Turkish delight wooden box which I painted with 

Fresco Finish Chalk paint . 

I used Seth Apter's midnight paint with Boro boro and space cadet and inside I used Pumpkin soup.

Once dry I used a large clock stencil from Deli art. Using translucent modelling paste I put it through the stencil when partially dry I scraped it back so the image was distressed.

I used piece of wall paper to apply pumpkin soup to the base randomly along with Boro boro to the box. 

Next a lot of dry brushing with Deco Art Tinting base I kept going till I was happy with it.

The centre piece is a #mitform_castings large cog on which I used #Decoart antiquing cream in patina black and white. I followed this with #Decoart fluid acrylic Prussian blue and Quinacridone gold & Yellow transparent Iron oxide. 

I hope you all enjoyed the project.

Thanks for popping by.

Crackle week over at Tando creative

 

Hi everyone Dee here with my post for Crackle week. I hope you are all keeping safe and are not getting stir crazy with the latest lockdown. I have taken to walking every day. I and am so excited that next month we will be having a new member of the family join us it is a Springador puppy who will be joining me on my walks when she is old enough. I begged pleaded even shed a tear to be allowed this lovely pup so really can't wait. 

This is my piece for this weeks theme crackle I used one of Tando's long tags love these tags.

I stamped x 2 the flower from Tim holtz dearly departed stamp set and used his tissue paper. I stuck it all down with collage medium and gave it all a coat of medium.

I can't remember where the butterfly stamp was from but thought it set it off rather nicely. I used a antiquing cream of brown from stampendous then followed with a patina one from Deco art over the whole tag. I knocked it all back with a soft cloth wetting it in places.

A close up of the crackle.

I gave it all a touch of bling with some treasure gold. I hope you all have enjoyed my piece thank you for popping over to check it out.
