Tando meet Chocolate Baroque

Hi lovelies, today's blog post is showcasing a great combination of two amazing British companies - Tando Creative and Chocolate Baroque. A match made in heaven!!!

The two companies are definitely favourites of mine, which is probably why I choose to dedicate so much of my time to create samples for both of them. I honestly believe, to work for a company you have to be a genuine fan of their product. And I have been a huge fan of both Tando Creative and Chocolate Baroque for a long, long time. 

Of Course, Tando is known for its fabulous creations of greyboard products and kits. Chocolate Baroque is very well known for its amazing quality and designs of rubber stamps. Both these companies design and create on their premises in the UK - which just makes it even better to know you are also supporting a homegrown company.

Here is the Tando tag I created using a Chocolate Baroque stamp. 



First, I painted a Tando tag with yellow and blue DecoArt Premium Acrylic paints. Then painted over it with white Gesso. When it was dry, I rubbed over the tag with a damp baby wipe to distress the surface of the tag.
I then stamped directly on to the tag using Chocolate Baroque's 'movie strip collage' A5 Rubber Stamp. I coloured in the stamped flower using my lovely new Koh-I-Noor watercolour pencils. I then painted a section of the Tando Extra Thins - Wire and added it to the tags. I finished with adding some rusty orange thread to the tag hole. 







Thank you so much for popping by my blog today.
Toodles for now,
