Tando colour week - June 2018

Hello, can you believe we are nearly in June already? time seems to be flying this year…

This week over on the Tando blog is the colour week….

Here is months colour palette:-

and, here is 6/12 Media board:-

The base is the smaller media board, 80mm x 116mm, the base was painted using DecoArt media acrylics and various paint techniques used.  Using the same colours I also created a masterboard, so using this I stamped and cut out some circles from a Paperartsy set.  A hand written sentiment finished it off.

Pop on over to the Tando Creative blog this week to see what the other DT members have created.

Trying something new...

Hello, I've recently been off work and during this time I had a "messenger" conversation with a crafty friend I've known for, well, now thinking of it, I'm not sure how long… but, she's so full of inspiration and has recently had me creating my first piece of "postcard" art.

So, during our conversation, she mentioned artist trading coins - what???? anyway, since that conversation these little coins have gone mad… so, here are my first three coins:-

 and the three of them together.

I have a feeling that these are the first three of many!!

Also, during this conversation I was encouraged to try "index card" art… so here is index card number 1:-

Embossing week

Hello, its embossing week over on the Tando Creative blog and today its my turn to share my embossed piece:-

The base is a tag from the tag mega bundle pack.  This was given a coat of acrylic paint, once dry the tag was embossed using an embossing folder and then a coloured wax was added.  I then added three layers of embossing powder and melted on the third layer I stamped into the molten powder, I used the same technique on a heart from the heart mega pack… the heart was then tied with string and a key added…..

Do pop on over to the Tando blog and see what other embossed projects have been shared.

May colour week

Hello,  I'm slightly late posting today I've had one of those weeks and today was my Uncle's funeral…so, a bit behind, but, here better late than never!

So, for May the colour way is:-

and here is media board 5/12

The base is one of the smaller media boards which was covered with text paper and then watercolour paints added….. some splats and doodling was added to the base… A text stamp was embossed and then three stars which had watercolour paints added and then a layer of crackle glaze were attached to finish off the piece.
