Using Spray Inks @ Tando

Hello lovelies and welcome to my post for Tando.

This week we have been playing with spray inks and I decided to break out my collect of Tattered Angels sprays.

Here is what I created...

I used the Tando Compendium kit from Andy Skinner which is a brilliant kit containing an MDF baseboard and a fantastic selection of greyboard cogs, a clock face, washers, screws heads, nuts and bookplates.

I first played with gluing all the greyboard pieces together as they can be used on their own or layered on top of each other to make 3D pieces. 

While the greyboard pieced were drying, I applied some DecoArt Crackle Paint and Texture Sand Paste to the MDF baseboard and left to dry. I then adhered all the greyboard on top of the MDF base.

Then I started spraying!!!!

I used Tattered Angels Baseboard sprays in Ivory, Lava and Gravel, Chalkboard Seven Seas, Simply Sheer in Shade and Glimmer Mists in Dragonfly, Merlot Gold, Pearl, Rolling Tide and Old Penny.

Texture, texture, texture @ Tando Creative

Hello lovely peeps and welcome to my blog post for Tando Creative, This weeks theme is 'Texture'.

The Tando kit I used for this project was the Cogs Mega Pack and I threw a ton of DecoArt Media products at it to create some fabulous texture.

I used DecoArt crackle paint on the bigger background.

Then used DecoArt white modelling paste on the smaller background. 

I used DecoArt texture sand paste on the cogs.

When all the pastes where dry, I used DecoArt Premium Acrylic paints.

I used a stamp from the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Sideshow stamp.

Thanks for popping by.

Crackle Week @ Tando

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

Everyone loves a bit of crackle don't they???

Here is my creation...

This week I used another one of the Tando long tags. (Yes, I am definitely addicted to these Tando tags!) And one of the hearts from the Tando grab bag of hearts

First, I added a layer of card stock with a wooden pattern over the front side of the tag with PVA glue and let dry. And painted the heart with DecoArt white gesso.

I added DecoArt crackle paint all over the surface of the heart and around the edge of the tag.

I used DecoArt texture sand paste and the Tando 4 x 4 distressed sequins mini stencil on the heart and the tag. 

Then used the paste around the edge of the tag.

I painted the tag and the heart using DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic paint. Then I added gold metallic paint on the heart.

June at Altered Eclectics.

Hey folks! For this months Altered Eclectics post I have decided to share with you a piece I did recently for the Tando Creative show on Hochanda.

The circle shadow frame is one of a 5-part set of different shaped frames that can be altered and decorated. 

There are 3 layers to each frame - a 3mm MDF base layer then 2 upper layers (a wider layer and a thin layer) cut from 2250 micron greyboard. The thin layer can be placed underneath to create the shadow effect or on top of the wider layer for a different effect. All the frames come with the inner pieces and just pop out the frames. 

In the set is a heart, circle, square, diamond and an arched window. 

For this project I used the circle frame. 

Here is what I did...

First I gave the three layers of the circle frame a coat of white gesso. 

On the MDF layer (which is the back layer of the frame) I painted a good thick layer of DecoArt white Crackle Paint and left it to dry.

I then mixed DecoArt Media Colbalt Teal Hue Acrylic paint with some clean water and then painted it at the top and bottom of the background frame, tilting the frame to make the paint run. 

When all the layer were fully dry, I applied clear embossing ink all over the frame background. Then applied a layer of ultra thick embossing enamel and heated it.

On the wider of the two greyboard frames I first applied DecoArt white Modelling Paste through the Tando criss cross grid mask over the gesso layer. When dry I then applied DecoArt Texture Sand paste to random areas of the frame.

I used DecoArt Media Acrylics in Burnt Umber, Paynes Grey,  Quinacridone Gold and Colbalt Teal Blue to colour the frame.

I glued all the layers together and added some bronze chain to hang the frame. 

Thanks for popping by,

see you again soon
