Circles Week- Fiona Randall

 

Morning all it's circles week on the Tando Blog.

I love a circle or two or three.

For this project I decided to decorate one of the Tando Long Tags which was then backed onto a piece of Tando Grey Board cut to size to create a Plaque.

Starting with the Tando Long Tag.

DecoArt Media Modelling paste was applied through the Tando Bubbles Stencil.

When dry this was given a coat of DecoArt Chalky Finish in Everlasting and dried with a heat tool.

The tag was then spritzed generously with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst sprays in Galactic Teal and Tainted Love teal and dried with a heat tool.

Next up a spritz of Lindy's stamp gang Moonshadow mist in Burnished brass was applied and dried with a heat tool. The edges of the tag were then inked with a black archival ink pad.

Tando extra thins circles were then given a coat of DecoArt Chalky finish in carbon and dried with a heat tool. These were then spritzed with Lindy's stamp gang sprays in Burnished brass and Golden Doubloons and dried with a heat tool before gluing to the tag base as shown.

Next I chose two sizes of circles from the Tando Grab Bag of Circles.

For the largest circle I repeated the process as explained for the Tando Thins circles.

The smaller circle I repeated the process of the sprays as the tag base.

These were then layered with an off cut of grey board to give depth and dimension and applied to the tag as shown.

I then stamped the Dragonfly from my Sacred Rubber Stamp set with versamark ink onto black card stock and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. this was then fussy cut and adhered on top of the small circle on the tag.

Next I cut a piece of Tando Grey Board to size and gave it a coat of DecoArt Chalky Finish in Carbon then dried with a heat tool.

 I then gave this two coats of DecoArt Media Ultra Matte Varnish to seal and protect.

Next I stamped with a circle stamp and black Archival ink all around the edges of the grey Board base.

I then applied the tag to the Grey Board with with off cuts of grey board to give depth and dimension.

To finish a Tim Holtz word sticker was applied 

and small sequins added in various places.

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.

Anything Goes Week- Fiona Randall

 

 

 Morning all Fiona here with this weeks theme- Anything Goes.

I've gone  steampunk this week and believe it or not I have not used a Butterfly in my project.

 But I have used something with wings- a Dragonfly LOL.

 

 

I went with a Tando size 9 tag layered onto a base cut to size and corners rounded from Tando Grey Board for this project.

 I created an inky background with Distress spray stains in Rusty Hinge, Frayed Burlap and weathered Wood onto a piece of A4 300gsm cardstock.

This was then cut to shape and glued to the tag and base board. Next up stamping with vintage stamps with Watering Can Archival ink. The edges of the tag and base board were then inked with Potting Soil Archival ink.

Next up Rusty Patina effects were added with Seth Apter's  Metallics Embossing powders to the Tando Small Steampunk parts. Distress embossing Glaze in Rusty Hinge was then added to the Tando Small Compass from the Duo Set.

Tando extra thins harlequin were inked with Weathered Wood Distress ink and then stamped with Watering Can Archival Ink.

A resin Dragonfly which I had cast from a mold was given a coat of DecoArt Media Black Gesso and dried with a heat tool. Green Patina Wax was swiped over the dragonfly with my finger to the raised areas. A piece of string was then added through the tag and tied into a small bow.

Allelements were then layered onto the base board using off cuts of grey board to add depth and dimension to the project.

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.

June Colour Theme Tag

Hi there!
The colour theme for June are these gorgeous colours:

I collected together some materials in these colours and grabbed one of the large size 9 tags. I started off with a base coat of Whisper chalk paint with a little bit of the honey colour brushed through it. Then I stippled, mono-printed and stencilled with the darker colours to make my background. I used some of the Tando mini stencils for this.

I was starting to get some Mediterranean vibes so I thought one of France’s lizard stamps from Creepers and Crawlers would work well here. I stamped him with Versamark and sprinkled a few different sand coloured embossing powders over before heat setting. Then I cut a piece of the ‘wire’ extra thins and coated it in a verdigris powder (Wow Sea Of Tranquility by Seth Apter) so that it looked like a bit of old wire fencing. 

Here’s my finished tag.

Thanks for stopping by!

Crackle Week- Violin- Fiona Randall

 

 

Morning All It's Crackle Week on the Tando Blog this week and here is my contribution.

 

 

 

Last Year I took a fabulous workshop with the Boss Lady Herself Di Oliver at a Tando Retreat. We made a Violin ( not this one ) but I managed to snag an extra one to decorate at some point in a completely different style to the one we created at the retreat. I used some Stamperia Rice Paper that I had in my stash and thought it would be perfect for this project. I then added gold Cracle paste through a stencil to opposite corners and some Tando Diamond thins to the opposing other two corners. All Parts were painted with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics before assembling. Once assembled all edges were inked with an Archival ink pad to define. Finally the violin was strung with some Rusty Wire to complete the project.

 

Here's a couple of close ups to see all that lovely crackle.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today. Stay Safe.
