Steampunk week here at Tando

Hi folks Dee here with my Steampunk tag! Sorry a bit late as just back from holiday

and frantically trying to write this as I thought I was tomorrow.

It was a very good holiday though and am lucky to be back as 

they forgot to pick us up for the flight back LOL!

I used a lot of deco art products along with the mini flourish stencil 

& the long slim tag from Tando (one of my favourites).

The middle heart is a Tando heart which has been

tripple embossed and stamped with  

Stampendous's Steam pumpkin stamp.

This was followed with some pumice stone paste from golden 

and washed with Prussian blue hue and black

antiquing cream.

The base of the tag was given a coat of chalk finish paint

in legacy and Weatherwood followed by 

crackle paint. Black modelling paste through 

the stencil.

Wings were made out of paper clay.

below is a list of products used and links to the shop 

 I hope you all like the tag and please ask if you have any questions.

Cracks & Crevices by Dee

Hi everyone! Dee here with my take on cracks and crevices.

I used a Tando creative tag with lots of lovely 

Deco art products to create it.

I started by giving the tag a coat of 2 parts Treasure 2fl oz 

mixed with 1 part Delicate 2fl oz.

I followed this with weather wood in placed

that I wanted large crackle and dry.

The next step is to apply a coat of Deco art crackle paint.

Once its dry i put crackle paste through the heart stencil

and followed this down the tag.

I also applied the crackle paste to the edges of the Tag.

A very very watery wash just a dot of prussian blue hue  in lots 

of water this was brushed over the top of the crackle.

The script stamp was stamped along with Archival Ink 

Pad French Ultramarine. Burnt umber antiquing cream 

was used over the hearts and the edges then

knocked back once dry.

The indents of the hearts were painted with Media Interference -

 Turquoise and liquid glass was applied over the top.

Thats it for today please feel free to let me

 know what you think

Hi everyone Dee here with my post for anything goes.

I used the lovely Tando abc's for this piece which

I coated with Black gesso.

I followed this with Deco Art media crackle paint

Hi Dee here with my Valentine piece for Tando Creative

I used a lot of different pastes and gels on this one.

I also used these lovely new hearts from Tando which 

I used ferro on which gives a very different look.

These also are not my usual colours but it is Valentines 

day after all. Still got a bit of grunge in.

Happy Valentines hope you get lots!

Stampendous Week by Dee

Hi folks how are you? I hope that the new year is being kind

to you. 

My project today was done using Andy Skinners New stamps

from #Stampendous along with their embossing powder.

Andy Skinner Industrial Wings Kit, along with Andy's new stamps

 from Stampendous Di will be selling these so just let her know

when ordering.

Firstly I stamped the eye from the Handle with Care stamp set

along with the numbers from skuldoggery stamp set.

I primed the tag with black Gesso followed by weather wood

once dry i used hair wax resist. I layered this up

with washes of colour and going back until

I was happy.

I glued the nuts onto the wings then used white Gesso 

to give a base.

Next was prussian blue hue then a spray of copper.

The circle was painted with pains grey then followed with 

quinacridone gold.

Media Interference - Turquoise with copper followed by liquid glass

for the pupil.

Finished off with gloss varnish and the copper fixings.

the numbers were distressed with 

watery quinacridone.

Hi everyone! Dee here with my latest tag for Tando

I really enjoyed making this tag I used a couple of the

mini masks that Tando do they are a lovely size 

and were ideal of this project.

firstly I covered the tag with white gesso and used the distressed
sequin mask first followed by the distressed diamond second
by putting white modelling paste through them. 

Next I covered it all with two coats of white Gesso once
it had dried.

Next I did a wash of grey and blue water colour drying between coats

so as to keep the two colours separate. Magicals were then applied

and spritzed with water till I was happy. 

Next I stamped the Tim Holtz butterfly onto watercolour paper

and coloured with zig clean watercolour pens. On a piece of 

baking paper I stamped the butterfly again in black versa fine

 and clear embossed it. Next I put the wax pellets

onto this and heated till melted then glued this onto

the coloured image.  

The same process with the clock faces just put the wax 

straight onto the image.

Finally I stamped the script stamp randomly onto
the tag and tied black string and attached a bead and bolt.
Thanks for dropping by I hope you all enjoyed my project
today.

Tags challenge by Dee

Hi everyone and Happy New Year to you all!! I hope you all had a great Christmas. 

I was lucky enough to have some time over the break to be able to do a bit 

of crafty surfing on the internet. I visited France Papillon's site 
where I got the inspiration for this tag.

I used modeling paste through Neil walker mask and then the distressed
sequin mini stencil on a Tando mixed media tag. Black Gesso
 was used over the entire tag and knocked back before it
dried. I then introduced white gesso until I was
happy with the results.

Next was the colour which was Lyndy's stamp gang magicals used with 

crackle glaze and water a slight bit of gesso. This was applied 

to the tag followed by spattering of white Gesso. The same technique

was applied to the smaller tag.

I stamped the fish onto the smaller tag and onto matt paper which I then 

coloured in using zig clean coloured pens this was finished with a

 coat of wax. I stamped a stampendous script to opposite corners

and onto craft card.

I attached cogs to the right hand corner and attached all the metal 

embellishments.

I hope you have all enjoyed my post

 and I hope you will all let me know what you think

Tando recipe week by Dee

Hi everyone I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer it is lovely

to be able to get outside in the sunshine as I work in a basement in the 

bottom of a quarry so enjoy the sun when I am lucky enough to

see it LOL! Today I have for you my take on recipe week,

I hope you enjoy it.

                 

 I used the square media boards which I had given a coat of Gesso.

Next I coloured the square with distress ink applied with a blending tool.

I stamped the 2 images onto card and coloured with distress ink for

the clock I gave a coat of crackle glaze.

Once the glaze had dried I used carbon black antiquing cream

 and knocked it back. I put paste through the sequin waste 

stencil and sprinkled on silver embossing powder.

Which was heat set.

The edges were given a coat of crackle paste that was painted 

and treated with antiquing cream. Treasure gold was used to 

highlight area's.

Thats all for today folks please feel

free to leave a comment or two.

Things with wings by Dee

Hi everyone Dee here today with my take on things with wings

I hope you are all well and doing lots of crafty things.

I have to confess as with most of my pieces I had 

no real plan just used pieces that I had been

playing with and off I went.

I used a Tando mixed media board that I had made for Ministry 

of Mixology using Deco art texture sand and triple embossing

with Andy's stamps CURIOSITY & Toxic and a large

Tando circle.

 The heart is the heart from the Andy Skinner Industrial Wings Kit,

on which I did an image transfer then coloured using media

acrylic washes. 

The rectangle plaque is the centre piece from a name plate that 

has been triple embossed with Stampendous 

embossing powders. The very top is a hinge from the

Decorative Hinges pack (I love these). This was 

painted with Deco art media paint & again 

stamped with Stampendous Toxic then 

Embossed with copper.

Media black antiquing cream to finish off.

That's it from me folks!
