3D Kits @ Tando

Hi folks and welcome to my post for Tando Creative. This weeks theme is 3D kits and I chose the MDF birdhouse home kit to work with. 

Here is what I did....

First, I painted all the pieces of the kit with DecoArt white gesso. I covered the H O M E letters with DecoArt crackle paste and the roof of each house with DecoArt texture sand paste and let everything dry. 

I painted the four birdhouses with DecoArt Media acrylic paints. And let dry. I then used the distorted harlequin mask over the top. 

I added some stamping using Carabelle Studio stamps and black Versafine ink. 

I then applied black DecoArt Media Antiquing creme to the H O M E letters and adhered them to the birdhouses background. 

Everything Tando/DecoArt related I have used is available on the Tando Website. 

Thanks for popping by,

Toodles for now,

Summer @ Tando

Hi folks and welcome to my blog post for Tando. This week the theme is Summer. 

Here is what I did...

I used one of the Tando long tags (they come in a pack of 5)and to start, I gave it a coat of DecoArt white gesso.

I used a selection of DecoArt Media Acrylic paints to paint the background of the tag. 

I used the Tando seaside embellishments and popped out all the pieces I wanted to use. I gave them a coat of white gesso, added some DecoArt texture sand paste to the sandcastle,  then painted them using the DecoArt Media paints. 

When everything was dry, I adhered all the pieces on to the tag. 

To finish, I tied some spotty ribbon on the top of the tag.

Thanks for popping by my blog today.

hope to see you again soon,
