BOO!!!!!!!

Hello!  I have an assortment of Tando leaves & bits & pieces and I have used them on this 4x4inch canvas.

I used the leaves mask for the background.  Except for the mushrooms, which are just painted, I have used glossy accents & then dropped alcohol inks into it.  I only used one colour for the leaves but I love the way it has come out all mottled.  Behind the leaves is a scalloped frame, which is part of a set and very handy to have in your stash, as are the leaves!

Don't forget the New Challenge is up for April...the link is on our sidebar.

Thank you for taking a peep today, Hugs, Karen x

Inspired by Klimt

I made this pendant for a challenge to take inspiration from a modern (fairly abstract) painter and alter something. I've only altered a domino shape but I hope that counts!

The chipboard domino was triple embossed with UTEE and then coated with two colours of Perfect Pearls. I heated again and pressed my stamp into the soft coating.

Full details of colours, materials etc {here} on my blog if anyone would like them!

TFL!

There is Music in the Air

It is a glorious spring here in GB this year, time to freshen up the colour pallet and bring some of those soft pretty pastels in.    For this hanging the inner's from the Gothic Layered Arch Frame provided the bases.   The bare board elements were given a single layer of white gesso, on the base the Music Score mask was used with soft green and blue ink lightly brushed over.   The bases were then run through the big shot with a music score embossing folder after which the embossing was highlighted with further inks.   Next holes were punched in them eyelets fitted and chain to link them.  Distress glitter added and finally they were set aside while the toppers were prepared and glued on.

Those base's took quite a bashing but they look fantastic don't you think.



Lots of Tando elements used here

          

Happy Mother's day with an altered canvas

This small- 4*4'' canvas was altered with lots of Tando most perfect chipboards and I also used Tando mask (messed with it a bit, but I like the final result)
All pieces were inked, painted and heat embossed with lots of embossing powders and I added this sentiment over this wings shape as it was made as Mom's Day small gift.

Here are all Tando products used on this project:

Handmade love with Tando shapes

Hello, my dear Tando friends! It's Irit here again and this time with my new banner made from Tando spools. I know, it's more like a  mini album, but I decided to make this banner using 3 of 6 shapes and I think it's a very nice project to embellish any craft room.

And here are all 3 shapes for a closer look

I mostly collaged   goodies here, but I also made  some heat embossing over the edges with clear and gold powders, made my own  altered pins and heat embossed altered paper roses.The paper line from MLS was just perfect for this project.

Hope you like it and see you next time with more Tando inspiration.

Squirrels and fabric?

Hello, I have been playing with fabric again.  It really is as easy as using paper, as long as it doesn't fray too much!  I have covered one of those really cheap little photo albums for my sister using the ~Squirrel Woodland Set~, which is gorgeous!

Its all fabric, apart from the glittered acorns :-D  Here is the whole set...aren't those mushrooms cute? I have saved those for another day!

Thank you for taking a look, please leave a comment as we love to see them, HUGS, Karen x

Case with a Mask

Need a simple and hopefully elegant card, the Tando Mask makes a great frame for an image or in this case a quote.   Dusters lightly blend colour over the top.

Mask very easy to use, just held in place by hand.

  These masks are not flimsy but good quality acrylic that stands up well to a lot of tough treatment.
