Texture Paste Week - Celebrate Arch

Hi! Dana here today sharing the arch I created for the Texture Paste theme this week. I used a portion of my favorite Arabian-Style Layered Arch Frame for the base of this piece. I covered the chipboard with a book page and then used two masks, the Mini Distressed Sequins and the Random Circles, with chalk ink and whipped spackle to add color and depth. I cut a piece from a Grass Flexistrip to run across the bottom of the arch. Before embellishing, I lightly sprayed the arch with white mist.

You can find the products that I used for this piece in the Tando Creative Retail Store! We'd love to see what you create for our Texture Paste Challenge!

Spotty card and a video

I hope you are enjoying the gorgeous spottiness on here again this week.

Di asked recently if I'd do some videos of some of the things I make for Tando. So here is the card and the video of how I made it:

I have used the ~{Random Circles Mask}~, ~{Sequin Waste Mask}~ and the circles from the ~{Tree and Leaves 3 Part Mask}~.

Pink and Black with Dana

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing a card that I created for the Pink and Black theme this week. I used the Random Circles Mask as a guide to cut some glittered cardstock into a fun patterned background. I kept the circle idea going by cutting the smallest Scalloped Nested Squares Frame in half, painting it black, and adding it to the corners of my sentiment block.

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.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Free For All - To Do List Board

This week  we are having another Free For All week and I have made up the ~{Memo/Chalk Board}~ although I haven't used all of the pieces.

I made a  painty background with Fresco paints and stamps and painted through the ~{Random Circles Mask}~.
At this point I made the border up, but no matter what I did with it, I just wasn't happy so I decided to bin that idea and just continue with the base!
I then added a border and some white painty dots and white pen dots. I painted 'LIST' and doodled a border before adding Glossy Accents.

As I wasn't using the Chalkboard paint, I took one piece from the chalk holder and cut it in half and painted it. I added rub on letters and doodles. I have stuck magnets onto the backs of these and the board itself so I can attach notes. I used the Papermania magnets as they are really strong considering how small they are.

Keep looking on the blog this week to see what the other teamies have made.
