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!!

You saw it on Hochanda….

Hello, this week over on the Tando blog the DT are sharing the pieces that were shown on the recent Hochanda show which aired the 24th May.

I was sent the shadow frame set.  This set consists of 5 different shapes with a solid base and then a larger frame and inner and a smaller frame and inner….. Its strange how the mind works Di designed the kits so that the smaller frame sat inside the larger frame and this would then create a lovely shelf for the minis (which were provided with the kits for Hochanda)… like this:-

hence why they are called shadow frames??

but, me being me used the rest the other way round, so that the larger frame was secured to the base and the smaller frame sat on top…

I think this is my favourite piece….

My window

I added a wire thro the middle and threaded on beads before adding a butterfly

Using an inner I created:-

I was absolutely thrilled that all of my pieces were shown at sometime during the two shows…. to say I was shouting at the telly is an understatement !! lol

Hello all… where is this year going? already more than half way thro' April - pretty scary hey….

Last month Di from Tando went onto the Craft channel Hochanda and presented two very successful Tando shows… she was a real TV natural and she demonstrated loads of great techniques during the shows… I was really excited as several of my tags and my fairy door where shown during the shows… boy, I was over the moon… here are the pieces:-

The bases were the long tags, a small and large mixed media board and the whimsical houses…

Here is my fairy door:-
