Tando Creative - flying solo...

Today is my first "solo" DT post over at Tando Creative.

Di sent me a few pieces to play with and as soon as I saw the frame I knew what I wanted to do with it... after seeing the pieces created in Tim's workshops for the few lucky ones, I decided that this would be a great piece to have a go with.....

The finished result:-


Firstly I prepped the chipboard pieces - the frame comes in two sections, the scalloped front and a base. Then you have the stand, which also comes in two pieces...
I painted all the pieces with acryllic paint and then when dry the frame front was dry brushed with acryllic and viva ferro added to a corner, stamped over and then dry brushed with paint.
Using some scraps of left over paper which had been stamped, embossed, distressed and AI'd I adhered fragments and created little gems....These were then placed around the frame and a couple of pieces of Tim's Ideaology range adhered too....
The centre is a piece of Tim's new paper range with Wendy Veechis stamps stamped onto distressed grungepaper....

The stand was stamped with Purple Onion stamps and then embossed before being dry brushed with paint...
and, as you can see will make a great stand for photographing all those "other" pieces...

TFL and I hope you like my first "solo" piece.
