Gothic Window Frame Project- Fiona Randall

 

Morning lovely people. For my latest Tando DT Project I have created a wall plaque using one of my new Gothic Frame Designs recently launched and now available to purchase in the Tando Shop.

I have used the large Gothic Frame Style 1 for this project. 

To start I used my Fancy deep frame which I assembled and glued omitting using the top panels. I then applied a layer of modelling paste all over the back panel with a pallet knife to create texture and before it dried I scored lines to create a large brick patten.

 I was going for a Castle/Church look here.

 Then created another frame to go around the Gothic Arch frame using foam board. 

I rounded the edges using a curved woodworking tool and then sanded to smooth. 

I also made the corbals that sit under the frame from foambord too and gave them the same rounded corner treatment as the foam frame. 

I then gave the foam frame a coat of texture sand paste and also the back panel in places. Once dry the foam frame and back panel were given a coat of DecoArt Americana Acrylic in Dove Grey and dried with a heat tool. 

Washes of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Paynes Grey was the added and dried with a heat tool. Washes of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Sap Green was then applied in random places to give an aged stone effect.

I then applied DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Dark Grey Value 3 to the lattice layer of the large gothic frame.

 I then mixed some of the dove grey paint into the dark grey paint and made a lighter shade and to this mix I added some texture sand paste and applied with a stipple brush to the ornate layer of the Gothic frame and dried with a heat tool.

I then dry brushed some dove grey over the frame to pick up and highlight the texture. The gothic frame layers were then glued together and inserted into the foam frame frame which creates that recessed look.

 I then printed a stain glass window effect onto an inkjet transparency sheet and cut to size and applied to the back of the gothic Arch Frame.

 I added tiny lights to the deep fancy frame base and then glued the Gothic Arch in place as shown.

 The corbals were then glued in place under the window as shown. To finish I added some Ivy Rub on Transfers in opposite corners for interest. 

The above photo shows the finished project with the lights off.

This shows the project with the lights switched on.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed my little project. I am quite pleased how this one turned out.

Anything Goes Week- Fiona Randall

Morning All. Thanks for stopping by to see what we are all up to.

The theme on the blog this week is "ANYTHING GOES"

The idea for this project was based around the quote. Enter the Crazy Whimsical Birds.

I used one of the Tando Size 9 tags and adhered a piece of water colour paper cut to size.

This was then spritzed with Distress Ink Sprays in Seedless Preserves and Fossilized Amber.

Next up the Tando Stencil Grid Moroccan was given a good spritz with water then applied to the tag.

This was left to sit for a few seconds before placing a paper towel on top to soak up the excess water. 

Upon lifting the stencil this reveals a faux bleaching effect.

 Some water was then flicked onto the tag and then dried with a heat tool and the edges inked with seedless preserves distress ink.

 The whimsical bird pieces were then painted with DecoArt Chalky finish paints and doodling added with a Uniball Eye Black Pen.

 These were then assembled onto the tag base Along with the stamped Quote.

I then pulled out a Tando extra Large Media Board from my stash

. Stenciling was added with DecoArt Media Modelling Paste and when dry given a coat of DecoArt Chalky Finish in Carbon. 

I then highlighted the raised detail of the stencilling with a white Signo Uniball Gel Pen.

The Tag was then mounted onto the Large Media Board using off cuts of grey board to give depth and dimension to finish.

A few more doodles to the tag were added to complete the project.

Hi There!

It’s Celia here today and November's colour theme is this gorgeous selection:

I selected my colours - PaperArtsy Midnight, Turquoise and Glacier Ice, and a mixture of an old paint dabber in Mushroom mixed with Yellow Iron Oxide. I chose the Flaming Heart, the Scribbles Heart Thins and a Mini's heart for my tag. I stuck them down and added a few patches of DecoArt Sand Paste before painting them first with PaperArtsy Glacier Ice.

I then stippled in the other colours with a hog hair brush, keeping the darker Midnight round the edge and working the lighter colours towards the centre. I added a bit of DecoArt Ferro for some sparkle and texture and dry brushed the thins with Glacier Ice to highlight.

For the Flaming Heart, I painted the base with Blue Lagoon and used a translucent embossing powder (Emerald Creek Fractured Ice). I used Cosmic Shimmer Lagoon Lilac Aurora on the small heart and Heat it up Aged Gold on the outer heart.

Then it was just a matter of gluing on the Flamed Heart and adding a ribbon coloured with spray inks.

I hope you like my tag! Thanks for stopping by,

Celia x
