Anything Goes Week- Rusty Tag- Fiona Randall

 

Hello All and welcome to another week on the Tando Blog. This weeks theme is Anything Goes 

so I got Rusty with a tag and the new frames and Butterflies elements from

Di's recent Hochanda shows.

I started by applying DecoArt Crackle Paste to the edges of the tag and put it aside do dry and do it's thing. I then took one of the small square frames and punched a hole either side using a hole punch before applying some DecoArt Media Texture Sand Paste. Once this was dry I gave the frame a coat of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Quinacrodone Gold dried and then added a coat of DecoArt Ultra Matte Varnish. The Tag had done it's thing and it had crackled nicely. I then gave the tag and the top piece of the Butterfly element  a spray of Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonshadow spray in Mystic Malachite. They have a walnut stain base which I love mixed in with the irridessence of the mica which has a green tone. The base of the layered Butterfly also had a spray with the Moonshadow mist in Tawny Turquoise as did the backing of the small frame. I then added a coat of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Metallic Gold to a piece of the Tando Exta Thins Wire which I snipped and layered onto the tag base. I then gave the tag base and the butterfly a wash of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Quinacrone Gold to give a grungy rusty feel to the pieces and then layered up the frame with a bit of rusty wire threaded through the holes and placed the butterfly on top. To finish I added a little word sticker.

Vintage Week- Fiona Randall

 Morning all Fiona here with this weeks theme- Vintage.

 

 

I went with a Tando size 9 tag as my base for this project.

 I created an inky background with Distress inks in vintage photo and speckled egg onto white 300gsm cardstock.

 This was then cut to shape and glued to the tag base. Next up stamping with vintage stamps with Watering Can Archival ink.

 The Tando bookplate was  given a coat of  DecoArt Tinting Base and then glazed using speckled Egg distress glaze.

Tando extra thins harlequin were inked with vintage photo distress ink and then stamped with potting soil archival ink

  All elements were layered up onto the tag and a butterfly added.

 To finish some seam binding was coloured using the speckled egg ink and dried and added to the tag. A quote was then added to finish.

 I think I achieved the vintage feel with the colours chosen and stamp choices I made.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read.

Fiona.

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.

Thanks for popping by,

Love and Hearts week- Vintage tag by Monika

Good Morning all!

It is the last day of the 'Love and Hearts' week, and I thought I would share this vintage, romantic tag with you.

I have started with running size 10 tag through embossing folder to get a nice background texture, Then I have used Heavy Gel Medium to glue a die cut, metal embellishments and pearls.

Using modelling paste and crackle stamp I have added some texture to my heart embellishment.

I have glued mini frame and metal padlock to it.

Whole tag was covered with gesso, once dry I have added washes of fluid acrylic paints. Next step was to dry brushing with white paint to slightly 'calm down' the bright colours. I have used the brown paint to age the edges. Last step was to add some splatters of paint.
