Dominoes week- Domino box by Monika Maksym

Hi, I hope you are well. 
 It's "Dominoes" theme week and I wanted to share with you my latest inspiration.

 For my project I've decided to decorate 15x 15x 7cm wooden box. 

 To start with I've placed my domino tiles and cut them to size. I've glued them on using Decoart Heavy gel medium, and painted the whole box with Decoart chalky paint in Carbon. I've rubbed on a wax candle to create a resist around the edges of the box and each tile, before adding another layer of Chalky finish paint- this time I went for Serene, which is a light blue shade. I was extra careful while painitg the tiles, as I didn't want to cover all of the gaps between dominoes. 

When paint was fully dry, I've distressed the edges with sanding paper.

 Next step was to add some Decoart Modeling Paste through Tando stencil, stamping, decoupage paper and embellishments. I have also used Decoart antiquing cream in Patina Green  in some areas and darkened the edges with Raw Umber Media Fluid. To finish it off I've used Ultra Matt varnish by Decoart and added a little pull.

 I hope you've enjoyed my inspiration.

See you next time

Monika

Life, art.... tag!

Happy Sunday morning!

Thank you for a lovely warm welcome last week. I am delighted to be sharing a tag with you today for the 'Heat It Up' theme.

For the base of the tag I used one of the 74mmx138mm {Mixed Media Boards} and trimmed away a couple of the corners quite easily with a normal pair of scissors.

Next I set about creating the background, this week using watercolour paints, after first applying a base coat of white Gesso.

Once dry, I stamped directly onto the tag and heated clear embossing powder over the stamped image.

Gold acrylic paint was applied around the edges and I used a clear Versamark embossing pad and powder over the top to add some dimension to the edges of the tag.

I decided to embellish the tag using a straight edged {Domino} again, applying a coat of white Gesso and watercolour paints, then stamped and clear embossed over the top. I did the same with some of the {Mini Flowers} I think they look like little iced biscuits !!

Thank you for calling and leaving a comment if you get the chance. I hope you can join us for the weekly themes, you never know, you might win a bag of goodies up for grabs. Check out this {LINK} for full details.

  Good luck, Gez ♥

Domino Week - Matching Game

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing a fun set of altered dominoes. My girls have about a week of Summer left before they go back to school and I made them a matching game to help fight their boredom. New games always help keep them occupied for at least an hour or two so this project was a win-win!

I used some of my favorite domino size stamps to dress up my Dominoes. After applying a light coat of gesso to both sides of the dominoes, I stamped the pretty ladies and gorgeous baroque design onto the dominoes with archival ink.

I then colored the images with Gelatos. I finished the edges of the dominoes with a black paint marker and then added a coat of glaze to both sides to seal and protect the images.

You can pick up the dominoes I used for this project from the Tando Creative Retail Shop.

For more information about the stamp sets I used for this project, please visit my blog. Thanks for stopping by today!

Anything Goes - Mini People Dominoes

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing a set of dominoes for the "Anything Goes" theme this week. If I had a penny for every time my husband said "That's what she said," I'd be a very rich woman! I thought it would be fun to alter some dominoes, one for him and one for me. The NEW Mini People were the perfect size for these Straight Dominoes.

I embellished the background of the dominoes with the NEW Long Flourish Mask and the Dotted Star Mask. I added some Mini Stars that I painted a bright yellow for a fun pop of color and some strips of clear patterned washi tape.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to stop back tomorrow. We're sharing a special project created by the mega talented Neil Walker!
