Medieval Arches-Fiona Randall

 

 

Morning All. The theme this week on the Tando Blog is Arches.

 

 

 

This theme lends itself to so many ideas. I decided to go down the Medieval theme route for my project. I used the inner cut  frame inserts that come with the Tando Triple Arch Layered frame. These are great to use for additional projects. I incorporated some Tando Grey Board cut from a sheet and some die cuts, then stamped, stencilled, embossed, inked and painted. All the elements were then layered up with off cuts of grey board to give depth and dimension. Tiny gems and some ink dyed cheesecloth was then added to finish.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Sparkles Week - Mini Winter Home Arch Set

Hi! Dana here today sharing the mini Winter home arches I created for the Sparkles theme this week. These small houses are a made from the inner cut arches from the Triple Arch Layered Frame. I love to use the inner cut pieces from Tando designs for additional projects. This layered frame comes with 9 inner cut arches. I had so much fun creating my original mini home arch a couple weeks ago, that I created more for the season in a similar style. I crafted two different styles of homes, one single layered with the smaller inner cut, and two layered arches using both sizes of inner cut arches.

I used DecoArt acrylic paint to add color to the arches, plus a Mini Holly and/or Mini Bell, an Arthur Number, and a small door from a Mini Beach Hut. After gluing all the pieces together, I brushed on a layer of clear crackle paint. I embellished the edges of this arch with Stampendous Spoonful of Snow for a frosty, sparkly finish.

Here's my original mini Winter home arch.
