Use Stampendous Products @ Tando

Hi folks and welcome to my blog post for this weeks Tando challenge. The theme is "Stampendous products".

Here is my creation...

For this challenge I used Tando mini printer tray 152mm x 152mm with stand. I love these mini printer trays as they are so versatile to use and you can add anything and everything to it to decorate. 

First, I glued all the layers of the printer tray together apart from the flat back piece, then cut out areas of the frame to create a more open and abstract frame.

I applied some DecoArt crackle paint along the frame edges in random areas and added some patches of DecoArt texture sand paste randomly.
This was to add more texture to the frame.

When it was dried I applied DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic paints. When the paint dried, I then added some of the Stampendous Fran-tage Embossing enamel from the bronze Fran-tage kit. I painted the background of the frame using a wash of the colours I used on the frame.

I stamped the Stampendous 'Look In To My Eyes' Owl rubber stamp on to some watercolour card stock with black ink. I coloured the image with Artiste Watercolour dual tip pens.

After colouring the image, I tore around it and washed the torn edges of the card with a watered down Paynes Grey so the colour of the white card wasn't too harsh on the background.

I adhered the owl image inside the background of the frame and adhered the frame on top.

Everything I have used on this project is available on the Tando Website.

Thanks for popping by,

hope to see you again soon.

Toodles for now,

Metallic Week @ Tando

Hi folks, welcome to Metallic Week @ Tando. This week it was all about making things shiny and metallic. 

I chose the Tando 152mm x 152mm Printer Tray as my base and then some Tando extras to turn metallic.


Here is my creation...

I used the nuts and screws from the Tando Ministry of Mixology Andy Skinner Book Kit, grab bag of screws, set of 5 keys, Tando Minis - keys, locks & latches and cogs grab bag.

First, I put the printer tray together then covered the pieces with torn book pages. I went over with a wash of white paint then a wash of DecoArt metallic gold paint. 

I added some random patches of gilding flakes to some of the sections in the base of the tray and along the frame edge. 

I arranged the smaller Tando pieces on a board and sprayed them with DecoArt Shimmer Sprays. To give them some extra shimmer I mixed some mica powder with water and added it to a spay bottle. 

With the bigger Tando pieces, I covered with a thick layer of DecoArt gold metallic paint then heated it with the heat gun until the paint bubbled to create some texture. 

In a couple of the tray sections, I sprinkled some elements from the Stampendous Frantage bronze encrusted jewel kit then added a good heap of clear embossing powder to encase the Tando pieces and Stampendous fragments inside the melted powder.

I then arrange the sprayed Tando pieces inside and on the printer tray. 



Here are all the Tando products I used...

                     

All of the Tando, DecoArt and Stampendous products I have used are available on the Tando website.

Anything Goes @ Tando

Hi folks and welcome to an Anything Goes week over at Tando. 

This week I chose the Tando Mini Printer Tray 152mm x 152mm with stand and some DecoArt Media products to play with.

Here is my creation...

I used a few different techniques to decorate the Tando printer tray including painting, stamping and a rust technique.

I first gave the printer tray base a good coat of white gesso. Then chose a selection of DecoArt Media fluid acrylic paints to colour the background tray piece. I added multiple layers of colour until I was happy. 

I stamped the background with stamps from Tim Holtz's Sideshow stamp set. 

On the printer tray frame, I applied a layer of DecoArt sand texture paint, then applied DecoArt paint over the top. 

I applied Stampendous Aged Ivory Frantage Embossing Enamel to the Tando Minis Advent Numbers then adhered them in the printer tray sections.

To finish, I adhered the frame part over the printer tray base.

These are the products I used and are available from the Tando website.
