Tando Creative: Dee's back

Hi everyone I am back and I have one of Tando's lovely matchbox's for you today.

I was aiming for something understated and subtle and ended up with the

complete opposite. My first piece for a long while so I

had to include embossing.

I used the large matchbox with inserts along with the circle grab bag and the mini harlequin stencils.

I started with constructing the matchbox and I cut some water colour paper to fit the surface of the matchbox. I spritzed it with water and used walnut ink crystals to colour the paper. Inks were used and Prussian Blue deco art fluid acrylic paint.

Deco art white crackle paint was also applied with a pallet . I used mark making stamps and also some of my own scribbles. I triple embossed different sized Tando circles with platinum powder and stamped into them.

On the main matchbox front I put crackle paint through the harlequin stencil and sprinkled embossing powder on and heat set. I used posca pens to do the writing. Stamping and embossing (Skins) completes the look.
