Tando Creative - Arches Week

Hi Everyone,

I haven't done a canvas for a very long time so thought this a brilliant opportunity to have a play.



I started by doing some under-stamping, then I added a couple of painted and stenciled layers using Dotted Star and Long Flourish. The canvas was then edged and further stenciled with metallic ink. The fabulous Gothic Arches were painted and used to frame some stamped images. A generic stamped sentiment was then added for balance. I love the contrast of the black and white on the colourful background.

Here is what I used.....




All of these items and much much more can be found on the Tando Creative retail site.

Tando Creative - Anything Goes..........

Hello Everyone,

hope you are all well?

I decided to have a play with the lovely large home sweet home plaque for this weeks theme over on the Tando Creative blog.


I stamped the base with a text stamp before painting to add some texture. This was then stenciled with tornado using metallic ink direct from the ink-pad through the stencil. The other plaque elements were decorated to coordinate, some being randomly stamped and clear embossed, others being left plain.

Here is what I used........





Both of these items and much much more can be found on the Tando Retail Site.

Many thanks for popping by today and leaving a comment if you feel you would like to.

Tando Creative - Technique - Cover With Paper

Hello Peeps,

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol how lucky am I to have been asked to join the amazing DT over at Tando Creative, hopefully I will be able to do them all proud.

It's a brilliant excuse to kick-start my crafting hobby again so I am incredibly grateful to Di and the team.

My first DT piece was to cover something in paper so I chose to go with a frame and use a picture of my loopy children to go in it!!!!!


I used the 6x6 frame and covered the front element in scrapbook paper from my stash, this was then edged with craft paint and coated with gloss multi-medium to seal it.
The back element and stand were also painted in a coordinating colour. I also took some pieces from the mini hearts bag and the small mixed swirls bag and painted them in coordinating colours to embellish the frame.

Here is what I used, all can be found on the Tando retail site..........
