Christmas - A bit potty!

Hi there!

I have posted one of these pots for this months Tando Challenge also, so pop along there if you want to take part.  But I thought it fitting if I showed you more of them here, to fit in with the Christmas theme.

Shabby Chic your pots with some Tando chipboard!


They started life as plain wooden pots and with a little bit of Annie Sloan chalk paint and a Tando chipboard shape they ended up as nice little pots, ideal to pop a little plant in and give as a gift!

I used Tando Creative Reindeeer Large Running...


and a pack of 5 Snowflakes...

Pretty in Pink - Wooden Heart

Hi there!
I don't know if anyone knows this but I do love Pink!
Saying that though, this wooden heart isn't massively pink but there is a hint of pink underneath the white!


This home decor item started off as plain wooden hearts.  I painted each heart pink with chalk paint, then painted over the pink with white chalk paint.  I then rubbed the hearts with sandpaper to take some of the white paint off so you can see some of the pink underneath.

I then used the Tando Creative Cogs Group mask on the hearts with Viva Decor Ferro Iron paste and left to dry for a while.  This created a nice raised effect as the application was quite thick.
