Colour theme week- autumn journal cover by Monika

Hello October!

It's colour theme week. I've decided to decorate a journal cover this time.

I've started with cutting a maple shape leaf out of the greyboard leftover, slightly distressed the edges, painted it with acrylic paints  and stamped it with sentence stamp. Then I've added words and little heart.

Journal cover was painted, stamped and I've added some interest by using Texture Sand Paste and paint splatters.

 Size 6 tag was covered with embossing powder and once heated I've pressed a texture stamp on to the surface and added some paint around the edges.

 I hope you like my inspiration.

See You next time

Art Journal Kit

Hi Everyone it's Brenda here with my very first post for the Tando Creative Team and I'm so happy to be here using Di's wonderful products and 'working' alongside so many very talented people.

Towards the end of August I was able to attend one of Di's workshops at Let's Be Creative in Rogate in Hampshire and had a wonderful time using the Art Journal Kit. It's a fabulous kit which comes with covers, drilled spine for sewing the signatures in, a wraparound spine and the needles and thread for sewing the pages together. Here's the front and back covers together -

Those who know me will be used to my vintage, shabby, timeworn creations and although these whimsical birds are not normally my style I loved playing with their shapes and using more neutral colours on them to be the focal points on the front and back covers.

I had also taken some hessian ribbon and vintage narrow ribbon and used these on the wraparound spine to provide more detail and when I got home I used the DecoArt media acrylics to add a card border too.

I have a couple of more photos over at Bumblebees and Butterflies if you'd like to visit me and I look forward to being back soon.

Find your perfect moment with a lot of texture

 Long time ago (I mean like 6 years already) I became a DT member of UK company named Tando Creative. I am still here as you can see and wish to stay forever. But this introduction is all about having a lot of stencils since. And texture paste week is most probably all about stencils.
And being with Tando for 6 years is a main  reason to know Andy Skinner's name long before it was all known around the world with his new Media line and stamps. I also met him in person on last CHA show and even took his gorgeous class where we used Tando Industrial kit.
So this art page was made with everything you can see below (Andy's stamp set is not on this photo, but lots of his other products are). One single sentiment stamp set is from Visible Image and I used it as it was just perfect for this pretty dark stencilled girl who should take a moment and to make it bright and perfect.
A lot of Tando stencils were used to make this art piece:
Voque
Code breaker
Burning rubber
Rollerball
Sunburst
And the whole bunch of DecoArt products that can be found HERE!

And some close ups too. Lot of texture made with DecoArt Texture paste, Fluid acrylics, Matte Gel, Gesso and also a lot of dry time and some heat embossing.
The sentiment was stamped over tissue as with this texture it was almost impossible to make it other way. The white splashes are from the new Andy's stamp set made with white acrylic paint and glitter over it.

Art Journal for anything goes

Hi guys,Liz here for this weeks anything goes theme and I decided to have a go this year at a Art Journal,

I am fairly  new to mixed media so i thought this would be a fab way to try things out,

I have made a cover for it first keeping it fairly flat so it doesn't stop me using the inner pages,

I wanted the Baroque mask to be the main feature so i have kept the background subtle to make her stand out,

I started with some white gesso, when dry i went over with some water based paints and also used some of the purple from a mister but I took a little of the paint out and painted it on with a brush here and there,

I used the Sequin Waste mask with some of the same colours and stenciled it here and there for a little interest,

I then used the Distressed mini Diamond mask with modeling paste and went over with some fluid acrylics when dry,

I used a couple of my stamps in my stash, then stenciled on the Baroque mask using black Gesso,

A few watered down white gesso drips of my paint brush finish it off,

Hugs Liz xx
