Spray Inks/Paints Week-Fiona Randall

 

Morning all Fiona here with my project for this weeks theme.

Spray Inks Paints.

I've chosen to decorate one of the Tando A6 Binders which come in a bundle pack of two binders plus 4 pairs of covers to make more journals along with the co-ordinating template pack.

I went with a monochromatic theme for this project. 

I started by cutting a piece of watercolour cardstock to fit the front cover then painted the whole binder inside nd out with a coat of DecoArt Chaky Finish in Relic.

 Then a coat of DecoArt Ultra Matte Varnish applied to seal and protect.

 The watercolour cardstock was then glued to the front cover.

 DecoArt White modelling paste was applied through a Finnabair stencil and dried with a heat tool. 

Water was then spritzed onto the cover before spraying with Beetle Black Tattered Angels Ink Spray.

The water allows for the ink spray to move freely and get into all the nooks and crannies but also dilutes the colour of the ink spray from a stark black to a Dark Grey.

DecoArt White Tinting Base was then applied to the edges of the binder blending in with my finger to give a whispy edge effect. Splatters were then added with a Dina Wakley white gloss spray.

A finnabair Grunge Frame mold cast from resin was given a coat of DecoArt Black Gesso and when dried swiped with DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Silver Spark.

The base of the Large Tando Layered Butterfly was given a coat of Relic DecoArt Chalky Finish and whilst still wet a sprinkle of Ranger Rock Candy Glitter added. 

The Top Layer of the Butterfly was given a coat of  Everlasting DecoArt Chalky Finish and once dried with a heat tool stamped with a dotty stamp from my Stash with black Archival Ink then glued to the bottom layer to complete.

The frame was the attached to the binder cover using off cuts of grey board to give depth and dimension and the butterfly attached as the focal point to finish.

Simple techniques but effective and dramatic in the monochromatic colours.

Happy with the way this turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Morning All Fiona here with a project for this weeks theme on the blog 'SPRING'

I have decorated a little Tando A6 Binder in a spring theme and of course

I just had to add a Butterfly.

First up the binder was given a coat Of DecoArt Chalky Finish in Carbon on both the inside and out.

I then applied two coats of DecoArt Ultra Matte Varnish to seal the binder.

A distress Ink sprayed background  was created with some stamping and heat embossing to create a panel for the binder.

More heat embossing on the Tando Moroccan Grid. Also the flowers and the butterfly were heat embossed on Duralar Film for a Dreamy effect.

 An antique mirror effect was applied to a tando acrylic circle and circle frames cut from Tando Grey Board using a circle die were added. 

Finally a Tim Holtz chipboard quote added to finish.

I am embracing the bright colours and loving it.

Spray Inks or Paints week - Nikki K.

Morning all,

This week it's Spray inks or paints week.

I've gone for the paints approach, super quick and easy, and permanent!

Firstly get something like a cardboard box, or big box lid, to use as a 'spray booth'.  This avoids accidents or different colour curtains to when you started.

Then take a Mini book, and spray both sides and the covers, in paint, using the colours as follows:
Purple, do this all over until completely covered.
Shimmering Violet, spray but not covering completely.
Carbon Black, Add a few sprays over all area's, to look mottled.
Shimmering White, again, selective sprays to highlight the cover.
Shimmering Violet, over where you have sprayed white, this gives a galaxy effect and brightens where the white is.

Make sure you dry the book between each coat.  You can always add more paint at each stage if you need.

I used DecoArt Media Misters, but you can make your own paint sprays with a little acrylic paint, and water in a spray bottle.  The Media Misters are a permanent paint, and you can stamp and write over them after and no paint will come off or smudge like waterbased inks.

I also took some hessian string, and sprayed with purple, this made it the colour I wanted it to match the book.

The stars were painted silver, with a lot of paint, then heated to make the paint bubble.  When dry, I put a little purple spray on my craft mat, and watered down to coat the stars and let the silver show through.

Some sentiments and a sprig of lavender were added to the book to finish.

I will add some pages at some stage, you can do this by spraying your craft mat first with the purple or shimmering violet paint, then spray with water.  drop some A4 paper in the paint to colour, and scrunch it up then flatten and dry.  This makes great patterned paper.

I hope you like these ways of using sprays, it's also a super quick way of making something without having to paint everything by hand, and good if you need a project quickly.

The Media Misters are also one of my favourite paints, especially Shimmering White, as you can use it to knock back a project if it's too loud!

Best Wishes,

Nikki K.

Dreamer Shrine

Hi! Dana here today sharing the Shrine I altered for the Spray Ink theme this week. I started this project by priming both sides of all the pieces of the shrine with a white spray primer. Next, I spread DecoArt White Modelling Paste over the stencil from the Nathalie Kalbach Fashion Dame Rubber Stamp Set onto the outer sides and roof of the shrine. Once the paste was dry, I sprayed the same pieces with a silver mist. Finally, I inked the edges with several colors of chalk ink and assembled walls of the shrine, holding the pieces together with hot glue.

Next, I spritzed the inside of the shrine with yellow mist. I used hot glue to attach a weathered metal butterfly, ornate metal oval, and blue gemstone to the back wall of the shrine. I added some silver rhinestone trim and a sticker to the base of the shrine.

I finished this piece by gluing on the roof pieces and topping it with a metal crown.

You can find the products I used for this project in the Tando Creative Retail Store. We'd love to see your creativity! Share your work with us in Tando's Creative Zone on Facebook.
