Use papers week- Set your own course tag by Monika

Hi!

 It's Monika here with my latest 'USE PAPERS' project.

I've decided to make a vintage looking, romanantic tag.

 

It was a perfect time to use some of the pretty scrapbooking papers I've been collecting for ages ;) 

I've torn some pieces and stick them on size 9 tag. Using Andy Skinner stencil and decoart modeling paste I've added a travel word on the side, then added and some washi tape pieces.

I've used washes of raw sienna fluid acrylic to give it an old, worn out, sepia look. 

Compass and little hinge were painted with decoart dazzling metallics in rich espresso and chalky finish paint in whisper. Once dry I've used some metallic lustre in gold rush on the compass. To stick on all of my little embellishments-  mini stars, fabric roses, birch bark as well as grey board pieces, I've used heavy gel medium which works great as a glue.

To finish it off I've added a cotton lace ribbon, stamped words and some splatters of  white paint.

 I hope you like it! 

See You next time!

Anything Goes: Nautical Heritage Page

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a layout for the Anything Goes theme this week. I've recently inherited some vintage family photos. When I come across the right paper collection, I jump at the chance to create a heritage page for my family scrapbook album.

I can always count on Tando to have fun designs to match almost any theme! I lightly distressed this Anchor with ink.

I painted this Cloud with a coat of white acrylic paint and then added a touch of blue ink to the edge.

You can find the pieces I used for this project and more in the Tando Creative Retail Store! We'd love to see what you create for our Anything Goes Challenge! To be in with a chance of winning some great Tando goodies of your choice, please make a piece based on our weekly themes and link your project, not just your blog, using the inlinkz tool located at the top of the Tando Blog. You don't have to use any Tando product, but, if you do, you will be entered into the draw twice! There are no limits to how many times you enter, however, we do request that you only enter your piece for 5 challenges. We look forward to seeing your creations!

Thanks for stopping by today!
