Lay the tissue on the glue then give a little squidge with your fingers to wrinkle the surface. Repeat on the other sides. Set it aside to dry.</p><p>First, base coat the entire box with Burnt Umber, when dry, dry brush the surface with Primary Red.</p><p>To enhance the texture of the wrinkles lightly dry brush with gold.</p><p>I just happened to have a few cogs and an old strap. I gave them a bit of a polish and used strong glue hold them in place.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9t3-StAwDF76J6W2KCKTr-dA4yVPAGnC8ZwSCQFghOFR-QNgTgzsYd2d_Ks99hlxxWuzz4r16fqke8MSjBDR2Itx_sqJxCrbI6maCn2FQ8hM_jf-F_H2bWe2y-yUqbuQHBiKo2CB0LjLe4mpHO_btJmdZt05QXhGVdmcbb7n9IlQQHC47_c26qF3pvBJz/s4032/IMG_8792%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

For this I used leftover greyboard, about 85x105mm, and some coffee stirrers. <br />I cut a coffin shaped hole in the main board and built up the edges with coffee stirrers, I used clothes pegs to hold it all in place until the glue had set. </p><p>Paint everything black. When dry paint the skeleton onto the box top so that it will appear to be laying in the coffin. I used some pumpkins from the <b>Minis - Mixed Halloween</b> set to add extra scariness. After painting I glued them so they appear to be coming out of the coffin.</p><p>When it's done, glue the coffin layer on the box top so that the skeleton is revealed behind the pumpkins.</p><p>Next, I needed the graveyard scene to go on top. I used another piece of leftover greyboard for the ground, same size as the coffin layer, and a smaller piece for the gravestone. The 'freshly dug' mound is made of texture paste - this will take quite a while to cure properly as it is a thick layer. The spade is a piece if bamboo stick from one of those room smelly jars with a piece of greyboard for the blade. As the texture paste dried a crack appeared just the right size for the spade, but otherwise use a craft knife to cut a slot. The cat was leftover from a Casa Bonita project.</p><p>I used ribbon as a hinge for the graveyard scene.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH7_F28S1tGHcDo3XzhDikA1UTK2klbRAqGCQzgmgk5FJQdesVjR8cqpnWnyPwkoM3bOskciVDbsUpZo7S4u8_pNPmgcEv19SbcJ9TAxN1Uh2y6n0CC8t_tvvaGK_K45v3irwWKWPL0kVFNO6YbJLZUe_Ruo-pCXhikDqPO8hyS64EeWahAapJqUR7cidZ/s4032/IMG_8533.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em;

Once assembled I gave the entire piece a coat of black gesso to give it a good seal to work on. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I then used Stamperior Clear Crackle Paste with one on Tim Holtz stencils to create a rough rustic texture on the outsides of the box. I did the same for the draw fronts as that is the bit you will see once done. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I do find that if you leave the crackle to dry naturally you will get a nicer crackle but I do sometimes give it a helping hand with a blast from a heat gun to speed things up a little.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7l39PL4TwmHLg-s83NFTmmQtwGxxZpMEzla-x5D0QM5ve4Pe4uHl6JxFtOLFRhd6DFYjyHhoS3KX7fJzJXDJjGgoZRJgGFar3w-6Vfs-o_bi3R9KHVn8zDlgjqauNTxhkEqG9UUFdKaS5PVoOx6BMHaQEHEVxl4cBC2g_opTseY80-59Xk2dP9qlvy7u6/s4032/pic%2027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7l39PL4TwmHLg-s83NFTmmQtwGxxZpMEzla-x5D0QM5ve4Pe4uHl6JxFtOLFRhd6DFYjyHhoS3KX7fJzJXDJjGgoZRJgGFar3w-6Vfs-o_bi3R9KHVn8zDlgjqauNTxhkEqG9UUFdKaS5PVoOx6BMHaQEHEVxl4cBC2g_opTseY80-59Xk2dP9qlvy7u6/s320/pic%2027.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizK576HCbAr6G0dYJ0304ihm3KVfOUzIgPli6rz7LHi8blXEzEw3DbJx49XPsrd9-3DcalkwmYht7VPjhl_BUtkFZwMzT17L7ygWHU2vfSt-UEpoEtfLW-FJ-NuV2VrXVBzJZnG10Qtdf-CkbZwh6mMBdx-lGVV7WyjlOsH0fhyiRVrrZtEKUTo5EWAa3k/s4032/pic%2026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizK576HCbAr6G0dYJ0304ihm3KVfOUzIgPli6rz7LHi8blXEzEw3DbJx49XPsrd9-3DcalkwmYht7VPjhl_BUtkFZwMzT17L7ygWHU2vfSt-UEpoEtfLW-FJ-NuV2VrXVBzJZnG10Qtdf-CkbZwh6mMBdx-lGVV7WyjlOsH0fhyiRVrrZtEKUTo5EWAa3k/s320/pic%2026.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixMVXV0PwLT0EAaIV4ORKNjmg_aig2EcFCQmtRBoyme1yTIcsdiu5YWrSOqrNtWbM8p-m33Cm7vFzwLhvL9kELASziy5NgALS-XBJ-ySyuuFMx_D0n-Y-9gfDBNhZKS0ZmcvuuHBwQ5UjHJXVvSZ8LTudu0WC_MV11UUGaUZBXkWgBgD2m_ZuvHeZYOB4w/s4032/pic%2025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixMVXV0PwLT0EAaIV4ORKNjmg_aig2EcFCQmtRBoyme1yTIcsdiu5YWrSOqrNtWbM8p-m33Cm7vFzwLhvL9kELASziy5NgALS-XBJ-ySyuuFMx_D0n-Y-9gfDBNhZKS0ZmcvuuHBwQ5UjHJXVvSZ8LTudu0WC_MV11UUGaUZBXkWgBgD2m_ZuvHeZYOB4w/s320/pic%2025.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;">Once ready to be painted, I picked 3 main colours to work with to achieve my rusty, aged look.</p><p style="text-align: left;">A yellow iron oxide, a brown and a teal.

I used DecoArt Lamp Black on the matchbox, and DecoArt Black Gesso on the cards.</p><p>I wanted to create a spooky feel to this project and there are always spiders lurking in the woods. On the main surface of the matchbox I created a misty woods scene. I started by dry-brushing the mysterious distant light with DecoArt Indian Turquoise. </p><p>To dry-brush you need a fairly firm bristle flat brush. Dip the brush in the paint and make sure the bristles are loaded, then wipe the brush on a paper towel until nearly all the paint has been removed - you really do need it to be dry! Lightly draw the brush across the surface so that the barest minimum of paint is left on the surface. It is better to apply more light coats than a single heavy application. Practice on a spare piece of greyboard if necessary.</p><p>The distant glow was created by choosing a centre point for the glow and dry brushing outwards from it so that I got 'rays' radiating. These rays got fainter the farther out they travelled. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUsvGq2Qk8fLTj6X-OzevxvH4RxrS5i3IhrpPyG6D03tUZshaOAPjhT4hshYcdihlovp8H5OomtllAccNYGaXuH_ycewBlxdgkfvhNui0_tMvmVQirbrHgR67ZHzhCpwgnBsKtbIRHTg-cNrLOvgvSI5ThnjYtTI4YMuAUUSn8rV1wqHF4CAguCesdvrG/s4032/ATCspookylight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUsvGq2Qk8fLTj6X-OzevxvH4RxrS5i3IhrpPyG6D03tUZshaOAPjhT4hshYcdihlovp8H5OomtllAccNYGaXuH_ycewBlxdgkfvhNui0_tMvmVQirbrHgR67ZHzhCpwgnBsKtbIRHTg-cNrLOvgvSI5ThnjYtTI4YMuAUUSn8rV1wqHF4CAguCesdvrG/w150-h200/ATCspookylight.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5enpasqQ1i4Xw1r-XiGLIyT9fDNKBpgZDVlDinBBN6Sc8vvzlALx5cUDS2jbBL7DTqwGHHk89RmUrbaGngo_qNQqqNy9e_TMmbiTSjfgE4zE7OtJOckx9EMIXi91SsV6tvgfdxCQknH5BTIoOf-wlZmxUaHMEQznEqJHhnBtuhzI5mGoNIsG_9Yxj3zYj/s4032/ATCspookywoods.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5enpasqQ1i4Xw1r-XiGLIyT9fDNKBpgZDVlDinBBN6Sc8vvzlALx5cUDS2jbBL7DTqwGHHk89RmUrbaGngo_qNQqqNy9e_TMmbiTSjfgE4zE7OtJOckx9EMIXi91SsV6tvgfdxCQknH5BTIoOf-wlZmxUaHMEQznEqJHhnBtuhzI5mGoNIsG_9Yxj3zYj/w150-h200/ATCspookywoods.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUAwTPamh4wShfRMNd9tfgu3iAhSOA9G61dARjucI7t8bldCSIig5-JftIwBIOTlbehkL5gZTkfeZpN_lKBrhW3VS7B5lQDZ7zTxo7wzUQpVLt9ziCvSnnzLbQfIk3vL5hUch6bRcXyCGXL4JCHbeuuaVw5TtLm2XVfsmLya1IwoohQe2fy0gbk2ak8bvQ/s4032/ATCspookytop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUAwTPamh4wShfRMNd9tfgu3iAhSOA9G61dARjucI7t8bldCSIig5-JftIwBIOTlbehkL5gZTkfeZpN_lKBrhW3VS7B5lQDZ7zTxo7wzUQpVLt9ziCvSnnzLbQfIk3vL5hUch6bRcXyCGXL4JCHbeuuaVw5TtLm2XVfsmLya1IwoohQe2fy0gbk2ak8bvQ/w150-h200/ATCspookytop.jpg" width="150" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="text-align: left;">Next, I added some creepy, distant trees and bushes by dry-brushing the shapes lightly with Lamp Black over the turquoise.

For my latest Tando DT Project I have created a wall plaque using one of my new Gothic Frame Designs recently launched and now available to purchase in the Tando Shop.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5vfh7iJTkhkxG-dwQTSYVfnEu754Dwf-L5K_zI8zWv52Mf_9nZu2ncRslYwJKEfNl37IulR7yBexMgTeX_H3MIfOFpLwloHQM_VYx3aVjuV6e2s4M_v0szTUIMsGJAkuVte0T6JNsYOL11OoS_d0iALQNUMepruEWE50bRNUIH10WTQoy7ExaWrmSdqk/s818/Tando-Blog-2023-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="818" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5vfh7iJTkhkxG-dwQTSYVfnEu754Dwf-L5K_zI8zWv52Mf_9nZu2ncRslYwJKEfNl37IulR7yBexMgTeX_H3MIfOFpLwloHQM_VYx3aVjuV6e2s4M_v0szTUIMsGJAkuVte0T6JNsYOL11OoS_d0iALQNUMepruEWE50bRNUIH10WTQoy7ExaWrmSdqk/w392-h640/Tando-Blog-2023-2.jpg" width="392" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have used the large Gothic Frame Style 1 for this project. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To start I used my Fancy deep frame which I assembled and glued omitting using the top panels. I then applied a layer of modelling paste all over the back panel with a pallet knife to create texture and before it dried I scored lines to create a large brick patten.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I was going for a Castle/Church look here.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Then created another frame to go around the Gothic Arch frame using foam board. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I rounded the edges using a curved woodworking tool and then sanded to smooth. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also made the corbals that sit under the frame from foambord too and gave them the same rounded corner treatment as the foam frame. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then gave the foam frame a coat of texture sand paste and also the back panel in places. Once dry the foam frame and back panel were given a coat of DecoArt Americana Acrylic in Dove Grey and dried with a heat tool. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Washes of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Paynes Grey was the added and dried with a heat tool. Washes of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Sap Green was then applied in random places to give an aged stone effect.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then applied DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Dark Grey Value 3 to the lattice layer of the large gothic frame.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I then mixed some of the dove grey paint into the dark grey paint and made a lighter shade and to this mix I added some texture sand paste and applied with a stipple brush to the ornate layer of the Gothic frame and dried with a heat tool.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then dry brushed some dove grey over the frame to pick up and highlight the texture. The gothic frame layers were then glued together and inserted into the foam frame frame which creates that recessed look.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I then printed a stain glass window effect onto an inkjet transparency sheet and cut to size and applied to the back of the gothic Arch Frame.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I added tiny lights to the deep fancy frame base and then glued the Gothic Arch in place as shown.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> The corbals were then glued in place under the window as shown. To finish I added some Ivy Rub on Transfers in opposite corners for interest. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The above photo shows the finished project with the lights off.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijeK-gI1NJZWc4TcjV1r5CtvIYDBbI39NLLQxLg5fVNfYoa2_nj6tlZlGEsqr1Wi2OJ7rzXwFvJQFtT9Fa082UZJlb-VT6CArPMg-9941uQWw9GNqSFakVZwQZtEcCykaft68l1Jso3FamzbYsuC_AoHfZnX4Rb12SfYaCtGh1jbBND-YDynpnUDWTKCA/s805/Tando-Blog-July-2023-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="805" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijeK-gI1NJZWc4TcjV1r5CtvIYDBbI39NLLQxLg5fVNfYoa2_nj6tlZlGEsqr1Wi2OJ7rzXwFvJQFtT9Fa082UZJlb-VT6CArPMg-9941uQWw9GNqSFakVZwQZtEcCykaft68l1Jso3FamzbYsuC_AoHfZnX4Rb12SfYaCtGh1jbBND-YDynpnUDWTKCA/w398-h640/Tando-Blog-July-2023-1.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This shows the project with the lights switched on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you for stopping by today.

text-align: center;">I started by giving the birdhouse a coat of DecoArt Media Tinting Base and dried with a heat tool.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then gave the roof, base and the peg for the bird to sit on a coat of DecoArt Chalky Finish in Honour.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a wonderful dark Navy Blue Colour. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then gave the roof a coat of DecoArt Crackle for chalky finish paints. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then dried with a heat tool keeping it moving until the crackle had dried clear.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I then applied with a sponge DecoArt Chalky finish in Everlasting. By dabbing the paint on with a sponge you will not over work and remove the crackle medium as you would with a brush.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I find this method more forgiving and gives a much more even finish with the added bonus of no brushstrokes. I then dried with a heat tool until the cracks appeared.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then applied washi tape from my stash which just happened to be the right width all around the walls of the birdhouse as shown. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">also washi tape was applied to the edge of the base as shown. I had a little pedestal to display the bird house on which was already painted painted white.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To finish I fussy cut a little bird from my stash of Ephemera and attached to the birdhouse using 3d foam tape.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I also stamped a little chocolate Baroque butterfly and glued at a jaunty angle to the roof.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A Fun, Quick and easy little project that has a vintage feel to it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Products Used.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tiny Wooden Birdhouse</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/CLDAADC01-2O.html" target="_blank">DecoArt Chalky Finish- Everlasting</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/category-104.html" target="_blank">DecoArt Chalky Finish- Honour</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/CLDAADM08-8O.html" target="_blank">DecoArt Crackle Medium for Chalky Finish</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/CLDADMM29.html" target="_blank">DecoArt Media Line White Tinting Base</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chocolatebaroque.com/just-butterflies-unmounted-rubber-stamp-sheet-dl.html" target="_blank">Chocolate Baroque Stamps- Just Butterflies</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Washi Tape and Bird Ephemera from my own stash</div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><br /></span><p></p>Fiona (anubis 1 )http://www.blogger.com/profile/15830231024157384466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275827856174213632.post-23108420408808689942023-04-02T09:00:00.001+01:002023-04-02T09:00:00.208+01:00PapillonHouse<p style="text-align: center;"> Happy Sunday everyone. I am stopping by to bring you a little quick and easy project using my favourite 3d House style 1.</p><p style="text-align: center;">These 3d houses are great little projects to complete and can be decorated in all manner of ways and are perfect to give as a handmade gift.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTpohrjLZ_yz0AxdX9wG5NVy2MWCBrpHMD1reNIQtfkYmbwa-LJipLLT1oIuuz3oMMeyyDO4-5nyblyGjAJoAqtZXJ-w8stgPaoTqNsUpuykeEthR_Dwc5RFGRIQrAlG-g-_ijmlQ_sdFbOeRCPoYHTzyLErZzdakojhjMgppsk2XPxjn0ODHN2j35/s2048/Tando%20Blog%20Project%20April%202023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1350" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTpohrjLZ_yz0AxdX9wG5NVy2MWCBrpHMD1reNIQtfkYmbwa-LJipLLT1oIuuz3oMMeyyDO4-5nyblyGjAJoAqtZXJ-w8stgPaoTqNsUpuykeEthR_Dwc5RFGRIQrAlG-g-_ijmlQ_sdFbOeRCPoYHTzyLErZzdakojhjMgppsk2XPxjn0ODHN2j35/w422-h640/Tando%20Blog%20Project%20April%202023.jpg" width="422" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I started by assembling and gluing together the house pieces and then gave it a coat of DecoArt chalky finish in Carbon all over. Once dry I gave it a coat of DecoArt Ultra Matte varnish to seal and protect.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Next I cut a panel from white 300gsm cardstock to fit the front of the house leaving a small border.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I then glued a piece of Tim holtz collage tissue ( you could also use rice paper) to one side of the panel and dried with a heat tool.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I then spritzed the cardstock panel with water and embossed with a Tim Holtz 3d Brick embossing folder through the big shot. The panel was then glued to the house front.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Next I took a piece of the Tando Moroccan grid , applied versamark ink and sprinkled with white embossing powder and heat set. I then fussy cut a Butterfly ( you know I love Butterflies right) from my stash and inked the edges with black Archival Ink.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The Moroccan grid was then glued to the house offset to the left and the Butterfly then glued into place at a jaunty angle.</p><p style="text-align: center;">To finish the word Papillon was created using a Dynamo and mounted onto a piece of white cardstock and trimmed to create a border. This was then attached to the house as shown.</p><p style="text-align: center;">A quick and easy monochrome project with splash of colour using minimal supplies.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Hugs Fiona.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>PRODUCTS USED.</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/3d-house-style-1.html">Tando 3D House Style 1</a><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/GRDMRCN.html" target="_blank">Tando Grids- Moroccan</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/CLDAADC29-2O.html" target="_blank">DecoArt Chalky Finish- Carbon</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/CLDADMM24.html" target="_blank">DecoArt Media Ultra Matte Varnish</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/FREG021.html" target="_blank">Stampendous Chunky Embossing Enamel- White</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>OTHER PRODUCTS</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Tim Holtz Collage Tissue</p><p style="text-align: center;">Tim Holtz 3D Embossin Folder- Brick</p><p style="text-align: center;">Butterfly from my own stash</p>Fiona (anubis 1 )http://www.blogger.com/profile/15830231024157384466noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275827856174213632.post-32333958117609512282023-02-26T11:58:00.001+00:002023-02-26T11:58:57.371+00:00February Colour Challenge 2023- Fiona Randall<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;">Hello and welcome to my contribution for the February colour challenge.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Here are the colours provided and it is up you if you choose two, three or all of them the choice is yours.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I chose to use three.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjivaaBt1Ngpmvl8fUuUtu-rS7Pule9DE_Gu5Q54a1JvFCtxSIU9B75EmyFAHQMpWtM-9kaWSaiVztPWnYV5w7je12cJEQ58CqibITytp9Ku6kZJSXh9x2dUhmVG5yqRE8IAK3e0eFnZkk1RdKBSR55sJ_WysrJUHFb2M71XhbY70o0_IvocYkwWkLi/s1334/image1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjivaaBt1Ngpmvl8fUuUtu-rS7Pule9DE_Gu5Q54a1JvFCtxSIU9B75EmyFAHQMpWtM-9kaWSaiVztPWnYV5w7je12cJEQ58CqibITytp9Ku6kZJSXh9x2dUhmVG5yqRE8IAK3e0eFnZkk1RdKBSR55sJ_WysrJUHFb2M71XhbY70o0_IvocYkwWkLi/s320/image1.png" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my project I decided to create a layered tag.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM_3kxvegA2hcPUU53s4EVnZRdf3m8OcEyMEdpRlAs9Fbtlhxde2SkdVt6Gih7DXPhTDtm5cGzBnrwXuNZXb_Mw2I2Nu-XZp2s9hSR6XaMedXrCxKoWb7cxiZi4Mlp5I-_rJO3LjallRjv4cvI3vWfxyd9h4QYEEXIEWbIxX1dtYOgRiiRuH_qqrzm/s500/Tando-Colour-Feb-2023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="375" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM_3kxvegA2hcPUU53s4EVnZRdf3m8OcEyMEdpRlAs9Fbtlhxde2SkdVt6Gih7DXPhTDtm5cGzBnrwXuNZXb_Mw2I2Nu-XZp2s9hSR6XaMedXrCxKoWb7cxiZi4Mlp5I-_rJO3LjallRjv4cvI3vWfxyd9h4QYEEXIEWbIxX1dtYOgRiiRuH_qqrzm/w480-h640/Tando-Colour-Feb-2023.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started with creating an inky background using Distress spray stain in speckled egg and weathered wood.

<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I’ve already made a <a href="https://tando-creative.blogspot.com/2022/03/hex-tech-tuesday-beacon-of-hope-by-kim.html" target="_blank">lighthouse</a> and a <a href="https://tando-creative.blogspot.com/2022/05/hex-tech-tuesday-haunted-windmill-by-kim.html" target="_blank">haunted windmill</a> so this time I went for a derelict heater- skelter. </p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Using the basic hexagon tower I decided that rickety old fairground rides would need to be built with boards, so my collection of coffee stirrers got put to good use.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Rather than cut the ends neatly I measured and snapped the stirrers. To make the planks look even older and more decayed. I used a sharp craft knife (being very careful, of course) and took a few chunks out of the edges. To vary the design I made some joints and some missing and loose planks. </p>

<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">This was a long job and took maybe 150 planks from around 50 stirrers. I used PVA to stick them to the tower.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The top of the helter-skelter is make from Tando Creative birdcage shapes I had lurking. I cut out the centre cage bars and trimmed the top and bottom to be straight. I stuck five of them together using small hexagons as a former. The roof is made of thin card, curved to make a cone shape.</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgES9kM3K3DUb03_s66leDKmWV1nYcuMXoQ5g0GpNKENgMpvYGvJtFApYBEFzX38QxwMYC_Mpe8mfwElaoUHsyAK4SMntpoc-ODNCARO0cUdPN6NOno2oU4oOIeuS8at73LO_zyVbl9FnkIi6MeHvCXFLxZo9IUtCgZ4SRPO1m76b5fiVI5oYyJ51u2Jg/s2846/IMG_7385%20copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2846" data-original-width="2095" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgES9kM3K3DUb03_s66leDKmWV1nYcuMXoQ5g0GpNKENgMpvYGvJtFApYBEFzX38QxwMYC_Mpe8mfwElaoUHsyAK4SMntpoc-ODNCARO0cUdPN6NOno2oU4oOIeuS8at73LO_zyVbl9FnkIi6MeHvCXFLxZo9IUtCgZ4SRPO1m76b5fiVI5oYyJ51u2Jg/w148-h200/IMG_7385%20copy.jpg" width="148" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyL2Pk7GyPdcQOmXBsj4Otbrdh1Q3KKB0eVnmAmkBR-VsDdvqOM-W-ctiToi1F2kll8VylaZrAuST_W25sABFJc9zE1dFhmmEDsEqxNRMGaeeRVIFHe6HBdYKYeM_a00c3KXd_m1EcEl1pb5k4LO5KL5K5x3AFZgRcAe7Y4Yg6-A2bjHyxBrTjYaSK5w/s3024/IMG_7386%20copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyL2Pk7GyPdcQOmXBsj4Otbrdh1Q3KKB0eVnmAmkBR-VsDdvqOM-W-ctiToi1F2kll8VylaZrAuST_W25sABFJc9zE1dFhmmEDsEqxNRMGaeeRVIFHe6HBdYKYeM_a00c3KXd_m1EcEl1pb5k4LO5KL5K5x3AFZgRcAe7Y4Yg6-A2bjHyxBrTjYaSK5w/w200-h200/IMG_7386%20copy.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojEr--f7wd76sjVZFbxMa_o_73DyAHe_bPA36ZCrMx7MAgdX0BbokBXMi70eGKwC3ONybE9ALgihJeMcm5PRnijyiDxVBrtovUP6gAlnuc2qo09QnzqwXK8jPbSQ1K22sVUJdCqBUizHGL4Qz04m4EH9FTqaLngUlFVyvmnMzCr3mpcMW6iPpRKaAzg/s2096/IMG_7387%20copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2096" data-original-width="2078" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojEr--f7wd76sjVZFbxMa_o_73DyAHe_bPA36ZCrMx7MAgdX0BbokBXMi70eGKwC3ONybE9ALgihJeMcm5PRnijyiDxVBrtovUP6gAlnuc2qo09QnzqwXK8jPbSQ1K22sVUJdCqBUizHGL4Qz04m4EH9FTqaLngUlFVyvmnMzCr3mpcMW6iPpRKaAzg/w198-h200/IMG_7387%20copy.jpg" width="198" /></a></div><br /><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p>

The sides of the slide are in Forest Green, with Burnt Umber for the slides. The sides were aged with diluted washes of Burnt Umber and Lamp Black.</p>

The edges were also inked before adhering to the front and back covers of the book. Nect up I embossed a Small Tando frame with some Embossing Powder. I then stamped a Butterfly from a Chocolate Baroque Stamp Set onto white card and fussy Cut out. The frame was attached to the front cover and the butterfly glued into place as shown.

I really needed some storage for my formidable collection of erasers, sharpeners, leads, sponges and assorted bits of bobs, so I made up some Tando boxes (<a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/box-storage-4-x-small-boxes-and-4-x-small-drawers.html">https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/box-storage-4-x-small-boxes-and-4-x-small-drawers.html</a>).</p><p>This one is simply painted and then I cut up some of my mountain of gelli prints (finally found a use for all my experiments…) and edge them with a dark red Distress Ink.

I did the same with the Aqua to the upper part, but dated with my finger. This gave a textured look.</p><p>When dry I used the scroll stencil from the <b>Tando Creative Background and Flourish Stencils set </b>and sponged the purple over the background. I used a fine liner brush to add the grey flourishes (with a little white as highlights!)</p><p>I edged the tag in black, added some rustic string - and finished.</p><p>You could use a flower stencil, or may be stamp a sentiment across the background.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
