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.

Faux Wood @ Tando

   

Hi folks and welcome to my post for Tando Creative. This weeks theme is 'Faux Wood'.

I used a Tando size 10 greyboard tag which I embossed with an embossing folder. (Because Tando tags are made from greyboard, they are very malleable and look fantastic when run through an embossing folder!)

I painted the tag with a coat of DecoArt white gesso then applied DecoArt crackle paint on random areas of the tag. When the crackle paint had dried, I painted it with DecoArt Premium Acrylic paints.

I used two of the decorative hinges which I added DecoArt texture sand paste and painted them using the acrylic paints. 

To finish I added a metal number 6 embellishment.

Thanks for popping by my blog today. 

Please leave a comment if you wish, I love to hear what you think.

Toodles for now,
