Masks and Stencils @ Tando

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

Like every mixed media artist, I have a thing about stencils. Tando have a mega selection of stencils, of all themes and sizes. I chose a huge selection for this project.

Here is my creation...

I used the Kate Crane divided box (Ministry of Mixology kit - April 2017) Tando kit. I have had this a while but didn't know what I wanted to store in there... Until.... Enter the Tando Tags Mega Bundle!!!!

I love creating using the Tando Tags. Any size. And I always find myself searching for them. But now I don't have to!!! 

I first laid out all the pieces of the kit down flat and gave them a coat of white gesso on both sides.

I then raided my selection of Tando Stencils. I love stencils. How you can use the whole image, a corner or just the middle part to create a different look. 

I basically had no method to creating this box. I just went with it. I used a selection of colours from the DecoArt Premium paint range and continually added layers and layers colour with a different stencil until I was happy. 

I drew over some of the stencilled shapes with black and white Posca pens.

I wrote out a label on a piece of white card and added some ink to distress it. Then attached it to the box using brads.

I hope you like my version of the Kate Crane divided box. 

If you would like to leave me a comment please do so, I love to hear your thoughts.

Toodles for now,

As seen on HOCHANDA...

Hello folks! This is rather a long post today with loads of pretty images, but bare with...

This weeks theme over @ Tando Creative is "As seen on HOCHANDA" week. 

Tando Creative has appeared on HOCHANDA a few times, most recently being the 24th May. Sooooo.... The Tando DT decided to show off our samples we did for the show. 

I did a few different samples with Tando's Whimsical Birds 1 and Whimsical Birds 2 and Tando's Shadow Frames.

I used lots of DecoArt products on these samples including Texture Sand Paste, White Gesso, White Modelling Paste and Crackle Paint along with many colours from the DecoArt Media Acrylic Paint range. I also used many of the 4 x 4" masks from Tando.

So, here are my creations...
