Anything Goes Week- Fiona Randall

Morning All. Thanks for stopping by to see what we are all up to.

The theme on the blog this week is "ANYTHING GOES"

The idea for this project was based around the quote. Enter the Crazy Whimsical Birds.

I used one of the Tando Size 9 tags and adhered a piece of water colour paper cut to size.

This was then spritzed with Distress Ink Sprays in Seedless Preserves and Fossilized Amber.

Next up the Tando Stencil Grid Moroccan was given a good spritz with water then applied to the tag.

This was left to sit for a few seconds before placing a paper towel on top to soak up the excess water.

Upon lifting the stencil this reveals a faux bleaching effect.

Some water was then flicked onto the tag and then dried with a heat tool and the edges inked with seedless preserves distress ink.

The whimsical bird pieces were then painted with DecoArt Chalky finish paints and doodling added with a Uniball Eye Black Pen.

These were then assembled onto the tag base Along with the stamped Quote.

I then pulled out a Tando extra Large Media Board from my stash

. Stenciling was added with DecoArt Media Modelling Paste and when dry given a coat of DecoArt Chalky Finish in Carbon.

I then highlighted the raised detail of the stencilling with a white Signo Uniball Gel Pen.

The Tag was then mounted onto the Large Media Board using off cuts of grey board to give depth and dimension to finish.

A few more doodles to the tag were added to complete the project.

How are you all doing? We're getting there aren't we? I've also chosen to create something in the this weeks colour way - I love that combination of colours. Carol interpreted the colours on Monday with a beautiful tag. If you missed it scroll down to the post under this one 👇

Ive played with a few different mediums in this one, so you'll find Copic markers, Distress Inks, Archival Ink, some stamping with stencils and stamps and my favourite Posca markers, all created on some Tando ATC's.

Take care Tando-ettes, we hope to see you in the near future.

Spray Inks/Paints Week-Fiona Randall

Morning all Fiona here with my project for this weeks theme.

Spray Inks Paints.

I've chosen to decorate one of the Tando A6 Binders which come in a bundle pack of two binders plus 4 pairs of covers to make more journals along with the co-ordinating template pack.

I went with a monochromatic theme for this project.

I started by cutting a piece of watercolour cardstock to fit the front cover then painted the whole binder inside nd out with a coat of DecoArt Chaky Finish in Relic.

Then a coat of DecoArt Ultra Matte Varnish applied to seal and protect.

The watercolour cardstock was then glued to the front cover.

DecoArt White modelling paste was applied through a Finnabair stencil and dried with a heat tool.

Water was then spritzed onto the cover before spraying with Beetle Black Tattered Angels Ink Spray.

The water allows for the ink spray to move freely and get into all the nooks and crannies but also dilutes the colour of the ink spray from a stark black to a Dark Grey.

DecoArt White Tinting Base was then applied to the edges of the binder blending in with my finger to give a whispy edge effect. Splatters were then added with a Dina Wakley white gloss spray.

A finnabair Grunge Frame mold cast from resin was given a coat of DecoArt Black Gesso and when dried swiped with DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Silver Spark.

The base of the Large Tando Layered Butterfly was given a coat of Relic DecoArt Chalky Finish and whilst still wet a sprinkle of Ranger Rock Candy Glitter added.

The Top Layer of the Butterfly was given a coat of Everlasting DecoArt Chalky Finish and once dried with a heat tool stamped with a dotty stamp from my Stash with black Archival Ink then glued to the bottom layer to complete.

The frame was the attached to the binder cover using off cuts of grey board to give depth and dimension and the butterfly attached as the focal point to finish.

Simple techniques but effective and dramatic in the monochromatic colours.

Happy with the way this turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Stay Safe

Fiona.
