Anything Goes @ Tando

Hi folks. Today's blog post is for the Tando Creative blog and this week's theme is 'anything goes'.

For this week's challenge I decided to play with the Tando numbered clock large. I actually started this project during the Ministry of Mixology workshop and never had chance to finish it. 

I used lots of yummy DecoArt Media products on my clock including the DecoArt Media fluid acrylics and crackle paint. 

just scrummy!

gorgeous crackle!

crackle, crackle, crackle!

I'm loving the crackle paint at the moment. It is so easy to use and dries super quick so I don't feel like I'm waiting for days to get on with the project. 

I added some IndigoBlu mega flakes on the edges of some of the numbers and the clock hands to give them a bit of sparkle and a bit of texture.

I also added a layer of clear embossing powder over the crackle paste to add some shine.

IndigoBlu Challenge Blog #22 - Let It Snow

Hello there, and welcome to another IndigoBlu Challenge Blog inspiration session. This months Challenge Blog theme is for a hopeful winter wonderland this Christmas so..... "Let It Snow".

For this months challenge, I decided to have a rummage through my altered art pieces. Or should I say the huge pile of bits and pieces in the corner that have yet to be altered....


I chose a small paper mache box to jazz up IndigoBlu style.
I painted the box on the inside and out with IndigoBlu Gee-Sso Good White Gesso and left to dry.

I then sprayed the whole box with IndigoBlu English Cottage Artist Acrylic Paint using Grandma's Teacup which is a lovely pastel blue colour. I sprayed it all over the box and let it run over the surface. I didn't want a perfect painted look to it, just a patchy area of colour. 

I then stamped IndigoBlu Snowflake Lace on to white cosmetic tissue using Versafine ink. I attached the tissue using IndigoBlu Slap It On Matte Medium. 

I made the snowflake embellishment by pouring melted UTEE in to a silicon snowflake cake mould. I covered it with FlitterGlu and IndigoBlu Morris Dance Mega Flakes. 
I then swiped the FlitterGlu along the edge of the box lid and added the flakes.
