Hi everyone Dee here today with my first post for the

 Tando/Stampendous week. 

I started with 3x Tando mixed media boards as they are amazing.

Lovely Laura Weed sent me these lovely stamps in one of my amazing

 packages that I have received from them.

 For those of you that are familiar with my art would recognise that these would 

appeal to me. The amazing spider stencil I think is my absolute favourite 

he is just so perfect.

I painted my media boards with Deco art chalky finish paint as these can

be sanded back to give a fabulous surface for stamping onto. 

Next I used black staz-on ink to stamp the images onto
the media boards.

White crackle paste was put through the Dreamweaver Spider &

 Bat stencil also used Snowflake cascade on the back. 

Once dry and cracked, I used black antiquing cream to highlight

the texture.

This stamp is brilliant it reminds me of films I have watched

set in New Orleans can't remember the name of it though.

A back view all attached with brass hinges & little bit of gold 

embossing.

Hi Gez here, delighted to be sharing a creation with you today using the [Straight edged arch]

I created a background by collaging random pieces of paper on to the chipboard arch adding thin layers of acrylic paint after stamping and embossing the arch with the gorgeous [Cityscape] stamp designed by mixed media artist Nathalie Kalbach.

This stamp will be available from [Tando Creative] in the UK. [Stampendous]

 have a full list of stockists around the world on their website. 

To create the stars I used the [Hippy Chick Mask] by Andy Skinner

by first applying a thick layer of texture paste then a layer of  [Frantage Jewel Kit: Silver]

 Oh my goodness, how yummy!

The stars were then outlined with a black watercolour pencil to add depth. I hope you like my project. Thank you for looking and leaving a comment if you get the chance. 

 Happy creating, Gez ♥
