Guitar Clock

Hi lovelies, Lisa here and today is my turn on the blog for this weeks theme, which is 'circles'. 

I used Tandos Guitar clock kit for this creation but decided to use it as an art piece rather than a clock, so used it without the clock mechanism.

The top layer of the kit comes completely disassembled which is then adhered on to the base of the guitar shape after decoration, which means many different techniques can be applied to all the different pieces of the top layer. 

This is what I created...

I used lots of different products to create different decorative techniques which included DecoArt Premium Acrylic paints, Andy Skinner's new Embossing Enamels - Granite, Funky Cold Patina, Crystal Glaze, stamping, stencilling and decoupage.

Thanks for popping by the blog.

Chocolate Baroque with Lisa

Hi lovelies, today's blog post is showcasing a great combination of two amazing British companies - Tando Creative and Chocolate Baroque. A match made in heaven!!!

Here is the Tando tag I created using a Chocolate Baroque stamp. 

First, I painted a Tando tag with yellow and blue DecoArt Premium Acrylic paints. Then painted over it with white Gesso. When it was dry, I rubbed over the tag with a damp baby wipe to distress the surface of the tag.

I then stamped directly on to the tag using Chocolate Baroque's 'movie strip collage' A5 Rubber Stamp. I coloured in the stamped flower using my lovely new Koh-I-Noor watercolour pencils. I then painted a section of the Tando Extra Thins - Wire and added it to the tags. I finished with adding some rusty orange thread to the tag hole. 

I hope you enjoyed reading about the wonderful collaboration of Tando and Chocolate Baroque products.

Heat Embossing with Lisa

Helllllooooo.... lovely people. 

Lisa here, and this week at Tando Creative the theme is 'heat embossing'. 

As soon as I first discovered heat embossing (too many years ago to mention) I instantly fell in love, and still continued to be astonished with the process to this day.

So for this tag, I used a selection of Tando stencils, the new Andy Skinner Embossing Powder and stamps.

I first painted a Tando tag using DecoArt Premium Acrylic Paints in Colbalt Teal Hue mixed with White Gesso. Then heat emboss using a Tando stencil with clear embossing ink and Andy Skinner's Embossing Powder.

I then heat embossed Tando Thins with the clear embossing ink and another of Andy Skinner's Embossing Powder.

Using Andy Skinner's new stamp - Gypsie Queen stamped with clear embossing ink and White Embossing Powder, twice on to white card,cut out then inked one with a dark blue ink and one with a light blue ink. Then over layed them and glued them together.

Stamp the sentiment on to white card using clear embossing ink and white embossing powder. Then inked with the blue ink.

Add some blue wool under the sentiment and add some thread through the tag hole.
