Spooky & Creepy by Nikki

Hi everyone,

It's Spooky and Creepy week here at Tando, and I've just got a tag to share with you that I made for Di's recent Hochanda shows, but it didn't get seen as I was poorly, so I thought I'd share with you now.

The tags were designed by my lovely teamie Fiona Randall, and brought to life by Tando.  This is just one way you could decorate yours if you were lucky to get them on Hochanda last week.

I started by putting modelling paste through a stencil, and then painting the whole tag black, front and back pieces.  They were then glued straight together, making sure I glued around the keyhole well so it was a sealed 'bezel'.

I used Pebeo Paint in Fantasy Prism, and carefully used a lolly stick to spoon paint all the way into the key shape.  When this dries it does mad things and creates fab patterns in the paint.

I painted a  spider in black, and a cobweb, and adhered to the tag.  Finally I dry brushed the whole thing with silver, to pick out the detail.

Hope you like it, don't forget to check out the rest of the team's Spooky and Creepy makes this week. x

Best Wishes,

Nikki K

Hochanda Mondays- Fiona Randall

 

Morning all it's my turn to showcase a piece that I created that has been seen on Hochanda using Tando Products.

 

Today I'm Showcasing Birgit Koopsen's Fabulous Portable Art Case which will be showcasing again on Hochanda  With Di and Tando Creative this coming coming Friday September 13th.

 

 

I ran this as a workshop in April earlier this year and it was very popular. Everyone absolutely loved their Art Case.

 

 

Here is a side view of the Art Case open to store your paper and pens when travelling. It comprises of 2 inner compartments to take A6 paper sheets and pens/pencils.

Fold over the front cover to reveal a clipboard clip on the inside

 A great project to make and so useful for keeping supplies all in one place and compact for your travels.

Don't forget to catch Di on Hochanda on Friday September 13th to see this on the show as well as other variations created the Tando Design Team.

 

I hope you have enjoyed this re visit. Thanks for stopping by

Fiona.

New theme called Photo Booth - Brenda

This is the third tag that I made for Di's December outing to Hochanda and I just had to save it to share this week as it fits the theme perfectly. This week we are sharing projects with a photo on it ....

.... and I dug into my own collection of vintage cabinet cards to find this one.

If you have seen some of my work you will know I love vintage and mixed media and I often combine the two in my projects.

I also used one of the new long stencils that go with these cover tags and fit them perfectly. The circle design and crackle paint look fabulous together.

If you would like to see more details you can find a step by step and more photos over at Bumblebees and Butterflies.

I can't wait to see how my teamies have interpreted the theme this week, so keep popping back to see what they have been making as well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hochanda colour theme

We're starting off the new year with a colour theme and I'm showing a card I made for Di's appearance on Hochanda yesterday:

As yet, these products aren't in the Tando Store.

I've used PVA glue to create the crackle on the heart and painted and stamped the butterfly.

The base is simply an ink spray through a circle template and brown paint splats.
