Yellow and Black - Bee Happy Arch

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing an arch for the Black and Yellow theme this week. I've been wanting to use this set of embossing folders for some time and this color palette was the motivation I had been looking for. I started with an inside cut from the Arabian-Style Layered Arch Frame.

I added some small flowers from the Floral Grab Bag. I primed them with several light coats of gesso and then dabbed on some pale yellow ink and finished them with some doodling and a metal pearl.

I chose a small cloud from the Grab Bag of Clouds to add to this arch for a touch of whimsy. I just used a simple coat of gesso to color this piece that I topped with an embossed bee.

Black & White - Puppy Love Layout with Dana

Hi Tando fans! Dana here sharing a layout for the Black and White Theme this week. I used several of my favorite pieces of Tando Creative chipboard as well as a mask on this page that features an old photo of my Grandmother.

In addition to the lines, my piece of patterned paper also has splatters of color. I played up the random circle design by using the Random Circles Mask as a stencil. I traced around the mask on several areas of my page and colored the design with a black marker.

I added some fluffy clouds for  touch of whimsy. I covered several pieces from the Grab Bag of Clouds with pearl mica flake.

I colored a piece from the Camera Grab Bag, added a pearl and then a coat of glaze for a bit of shine.

I had the base leftover from my Heart Cog Pendant set, and because it was cut from white lined board, only added a light coat of black ink around the edges.

Black & Orange - Happy Halloween Card

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today wrapping up the week with a black and orange card. I colored a piece of white cardstock with orange Distress inks for the base of my card. I then inked the edges with black Distress Ink and stamped the spider web.

I added a spider, that I spritzed with a light coat of Glimmer Mist, from the Grab Bag of Spiders to the corner of the web with some adhesive foam. These spider designs are so realistic and I'm terrified of spiders, so I did this part as quickly as possible! 

I added some bright orange trim and a strip of patterned paper to the bottom of the card and tied it all together with some twine and a metal token.

I embellished the top corner of the card with some Magic Mesh and a simple sticker sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today! If you've missed the posts from earlier this week, scroll down for a treat. Join us here again next week when our ideas will really take flight!
