ATC Box for Andy Skinner DT

Hi everyone Dee here with this lovely ATC box from Creative Expressions I decorated it using Andy Skinners new pastes and paints from Creative Expressions. I really enjoyed this project as it developed itself like most of my pieces, I was really happy with the results.


Firstly I glued together the ATC Box from Creative Expressions.  I used Andy's stencil cogged up by Creative Expressions I put Andy's structure paste through it onto the ATC box. I also used strata paste and a smigin of lava paste. A quick coat of Gesso.


I heat set everything with my heat gun watched the lava paste expand. I then started with my washes. of colours. Raw umber dry, `Paynes Grey, Cobalt teal dry, very watery wash of Andy's new ocean matt paint. 


I went back in with quinacridone gold in areas as it then looks like rust. a sprinkle of cold patina and heat set to add to the weathered look see pic below.


The above pic also shows the lava paste coloured with quinacridone gold.


I added little gems that i had coloured with Andy's Prussian blue pigment paint. 


You can just see the ATC that I did poking out of the box.


Here is a close up showing the Cosmic Shimmer lustre Polish Glistening gold was used to accentuate the structure. 


A close up off the embossing enamel.


ATC was decorated in the same way as the box.
I hope you like my box as much as i enjoyed making it for you.

Isolation Redrum

Hi everyone just a quick note 2020 hasn't been any better than 2019 but this time the whole country is involved. My mum died last week and unfortunately I am one of the venerable so I am unable to go to her funeral as I am currently in isolation for the next 12 weeks. I hope all you lovely peeps are well and like me taking to your craft rooms and crafting like crazy.



So I ordered these lovely stamps made by# kazercraft, I love them they match my mood brilliantly so to tone it down I used 3 colours from the # Decoart range and the tinting base to paint these pages. Using stamps from the Artistic Stamper I decorated and stamped my way over the 2 pages. Any of you fans of the shinning well i named this after that as i have been indoors for a while now as my husband wouldn't let me out before the NHS told me to stay in. Going a bit stir crazy!!!
Here follows some close ups but love this way of painting its so soothing and relaxing compared to my normal style.




I hope you enjoyed the post minus the neg vibe. Keep safe and thanks for popping by,
Cheers Dee x

Post for Tando Layers

Hi everyone Dee here with a post for Tando Creative this weeks theme is layers.
I have created this #Tando tag using layers of paint along with layers of paper &
pastes. Then layering up the elements.


Firstly I started with a grey board tag from Tando which I covered with cut up paper to 
create texture. Some of this paper was embossed to give a deeper depth to the tag. 
Next came the #Deco Art mediums & pastes sand crackle and modelling paste 
was all used.


I allowed this to dry overnight which allows everything to dry out fully. I started with a
 fabulous Sapphire blue from #Deco Art Traditions artist acrylics. I sprayed the tag with water and
 just added with the tip go my paintbrush this was followed by #Deco Art Media Paynes grey, 
then raw umber.


 The stamp I used was a stamp by #Carabello Studio this was painted with media paints 
the heart was given a glaze.


The stars are moulds you have to be careful as the ends tend to break off but I thought it looked distressed so thats what I am going with. Rusty wire was from #Hannah Oxberry. Thats it 
from me feel free to leave a comment or ask a question or give it a go and 
let us see it on facebook. Cheers Dee x

For a Very Special Person

My baby Sean is 26 today and over the last year he has been a massive support to me he has been by my side through everything all the hospital visits including stays. He has travelled up to Kings everyday to see me and hug me when I was scared would always make me laugh when I wobbled.  
 I am so very lucky to have such a fantastic family each and everyone of them have been amazing.


So for his birthday my husband and I found a really funny card that was very apt could I find it I put it away somewhere so safe I have no recollection of where!



 So at 5AM when sleep was eluding me up I got and made him this card with a Seth Apter stencil.



A few sprinkles of infusions and bister and we are ready to go.


Cheers Dee x
