Tando colour theme

Hi, and welcome to my little spot in blogland.  Today is start of the August colour theme over on the Tando Creative blog.  Doesn't seem possible that tomorrow is the 1st August and someone said the other day 21 weeks til Christmas!!!! 

So, here is the colour scheme for August:-

and here is atc number 8/2017

The greyboard base had texture paste added using the Tando mini distressed diamonds stencil, some old dictionary paper was also adhered.  Paperartsy paints in sherbet, lavender and bourganvillia were then added, along with some doodling and stencilling using the mini numbers stencil.  Parts from the Whimsical birds set 2 were painted using the same colour ways and then doodled… 

All Tando products available from the tando retail site.

Something a little different

Hi, those that know me know that I don't scrapbook, but, there are times that you just have too…and the final selfie for Steve, Josh and I just before Josh went thro' to the departures lounge at Heathrow last Wednesday, on his way to Australia before starting work in japan is one of those occasions…

The thing is that I don't have any photo paper to print out my snap so that will follow….

Created for my Papermaze blog post up today.

Media boards

Hello, today its my turn over on the Tando Creative blog and this week the theme is Media Boards.

I really enjoy working on this media and most of my Tando DT work will use one of the chipboard bases, in either size.

I made two boards for this week's post, both different in style….

Number 1

Onto the bare board I applied grungepaste using the long flourish stencil.  Red, orange and yellow acrylics were then added, a versa mark ink pad was rubbed along the raised areas and pushed down in some places before adding some embossing enamels.  A whimsical bird was painted and doodled and added to the board.

Number 2

This time the mini criss cross stencil was used with the grunge paste and acrylic paints added.  A whimsical house was painted in the same colours and adhered to the board upon a bed of washi tape!!

Do pop on over to the Tando Creative blog this week to see what the other dt members have done with their boards.
