colour post

Hi, its the colour week over on the Tando Creative blog this week and our colours for December are:-

lovely festive colours aren't they? so, I've made this:-

I have stencilled distress ink onto a card blank then added a swirly tree which had been painted with dark and light green acrylic paint then covered with stardust stickles.  Two baubles from the small bauble pack were painted with red acrylic paint and hi lighted using black and white pens…some stickles were added to the silver bands.

Pop on over to the Tando blog where the winner of Novembers challenge has been announced and also during the week there will be some great inspiration from the dt….

Trees….

Oh dear, how long has it been since I last blogged? is anyone still out there?? lol

Today sees the start of a new theme over on the Tando Creative blog…and this week we are all concentrating on TREES… I wonder if any of my DT buddies will do Christmas Trees??  My offering is:-

 My base is the larger mixed media board which was painted using the decArt mixed media fluid acrylics and the tinting base… I then used Kaz's tree stencil - this is a fab stencil, you also get the tree mask and two overlays for the leaves… I then painted a mini owl and stamped a very old stamp - the sentiment of which is very apt.

Do pop on over to the Tando blog this week to see what my DT buddies have come up with and also don't forget that the challenge is open to everyone - have a go and you might win an early Christmas present!!

Hi, as its the first week of the month the theme over on the Tando Creative blog is a colour theme… and here is this Novembers colours:-

Here is my notebook:-

I used the Tando moroccan grid mask to add grungepaste to the cover - once dry I added paperartsy fresco paint….then I added some old gold paint, which is reflecting on the camera! - I also added grunge paste to a mini bookplate and once dry painted it with the old gold paint…a mini owl 2 was also painted and added to the base with the elastic closing strap as his seat!

The background was sprayed with dylusion sprays - and thanks to the new Ranger video by Dyan Reavley I got some of my inks to pump again! result! I then stencilled the new mini cobweb stencil by Tando, added washi tape and stamped bats and spiders…. I added a Tando spider, a stamped image and stamped saying…

What other theme could be for this week? Here is my spookylicious piece:-

I used a coffin base left over from the layered coffin with cobweb set and painted orange, I then stencilled using black ink and the cobweb 2 mask.  A spider from the grab bag of spiders and a couple of mini skulls finished off my spooky piece.

Embossing week

Hi, has anyone else been having problems with blogger? I could write up all my DT pieces but unable to get onto my own blog…still, never mind, here now….with my piece for this weeks "embossing" theme over on the tando blog…I decided to dry emboss with a Tim Holtz hallowe'en embossing folder…

I painted a mixed media board with black paint, then once dry ran it thro' my bigshot with the Tim Holtz embossing folder - I then added further paint and treasure gold to the raised images.  The word Halloween, is a new product for Tando and was painted using DecoArt Media fluid acrylics in paynes grey and quinacridone gold.

Pop along to the Tando blog and see some other embossing projects.
