Tando Challenge Blog...

Over on the Tando Challenge blog this months theme is "Winter Festivals"

Here is my entry:-

the cover was painted with acryllic paint and then hi-lighted using inka gold.  The background paper was made by stamping a Tim Holtz stamp onto white card and then running it thro' the equivilant emblossing folder the entire piece was then distressed with di.  This technique was video'd on Tim Holtz's blog and its finished effect is truely stunning!!  My finished piece was matted onto red cardstock and then adhered to the front cover.  Tando santa and sleigh were painted black and added along with a couple of sizzix trees which had been hi-lighted using picket fence stickles..

this is the inside....

All papers inside are from a christmas pad, bo bunny I think! apart from the blue piece in the bottom right hand corner which is from Tim Holtz.  The sleigh, snowflakes, baubles, christmas trees, holly, star are all tando pieces which have been heat embossed, coloured, inked, stickled and hi-lighted....

Pop on over to the challenge blog and see what the other DT members have created, and, don't forget there is a fab prize up for grabs for one lucky entrant.  You don't have to use Tando products, but, if you do you're entered into the draw twice!
