This week its anything goes on the Tando blog and i wanted to show you how i use Tando elements as embellishments on other projects. My first love as a crafter is with Scrapbooking and here i show you how to decorate a scrapbook page.
Tando flowers
12 x 12 scrapbook
card in navy blue
12 x 12 scrapbook paper in blue geometric design
12 x 12 pink
spotty paper
Floral scrapbook paper
Scraps of patterned paper in pinks and blues
to make hearts
Posca pens
Foam pads
I distress all the edges on the hearts before gluing the blue one to the
greyboard and the greyboard to a piece of navy-blue scrapbook paper. Next, I
took the pink heart on divided the back up into slices. I wanted a kind of
geometric effect. I trimmed them slightly so I could see the blue heart showing
thru. I recommend taking a photo at this point as when you come to stick them
down, its turns into a big jigsaw puzzle!!! Once happy with the placement, I
used foam pads to stick them down.
Next, I matted my photograph into the centre of the heart. I wanted the pic of
my daughter Becca and her BFF, our 13-year-old Shih Tzu Koby to be the main
focus. I took a pack of Tando hearts and coloured some in with Posca pens and
covered some with patterned paper. I also coloured in some Tando flowers at the
same time. I hand cut some paper hearts from scrap patterned paper and fussy cut
a bunch of flowers from more patterned paper. I randomly began adding greyboard
hearts and paper hearts all around the photo, framing it. I used foam pads and
spare bits of greyboard to add depth to the hearts. Once happy, I added the
greyboard flowers and the fussy cut paper flowers. I hand journaled with a fine
black pen around everything. I wrote my journaling directly onto the heart to
finish.
I hope I have inspired you to use your Tando pieces as embellishments on a
bigger project like a scrapbook page Thanks Sarah
Instructions
I began by drawing a large heart free hand on a piece of 12 x 12 greyboard. I
then used this as a template and made two ore hearts in a blue and pink
scrapbook paper. I trimmed each one no they nested together on top of each
other.
