Octagonal Home Hanging

Hellooooo!  I have been working on another fairly new kit from Tando Creative - the OCTAGONAL HOME HANGING.  Each octagon measures just over 10cm across to give you an idea of the finished size.

I have gone for a 'country' feel for this project and used spotty background paper and acrylics, crackle stamp and some glossy accents.  There are a lot of elements in this kit and I still have hearts and flowers left for another day :D

You can buy the kit direct from *HERE* - it would make a lovely present for someone or for yourself!

Thank you for coming by, HUGS, Karen x

Free For All Week - Butterfly Wing ATC

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing an Artist Trading Card that I created for the Free For All theme this week. I found this gorgeous butterfly wing in my garden and thought it would look fantastic on an ATC.

I used the fabulous Dotted Star Mask, designed by Kaz, first with a black marker and then with light molding paste that I tinted gray. I moved the mask slightly before applying the paste to create a shadow effect for the background of my card. Once the paste was dry, I colored the card with ink, mist and gelatos. I sealed the butterfly wing to my card with a thick coat of crackle glaze. While the glaze was still wet, I pressed the wire circle and rub-on onto the card to finish my piece.





Thanks for stopping by today! You can pick up all the pieces I used here from the Tando Creative Retail Shop.

Free for all with Irit for August

Hello my dear crafty friends! 

Irit is here again and this is my Free for all project.

This is a wooden piece made into this trendy Chalkboard deco with stamping and heat embossed letters, but then I made those gorgeous Tando  clusters on both corners of this project.

Here you can see the lower corner.

And here is the upper one. Both were made with leaves, flowers and birds covered with a few layers of White thick embossing powder and then some of the pieces were stamped into the hot powder for the texture. On the bottom I used Tando new Long Flourish  mask with white texture powder.

  

I really love this black and  white projects made with  Tando delicious chippies and masks. Most sure will do  more of those classic projects in the future.

And here are the products used for this project

Birds and branches

Mini flowers

Mini leaves

Long flourish mask

Free For All - Bracelet

Hi!  Its Caroline here with my project for this weeks Free For All theme.

 

To make this bracelet I used some Tando Creative Leaves as a template.  I drew around them onto shrink plastic!

Leaf Branch with Loose Leaves currently on sale!

I then used a stamp to create the dotted design, punched a hole, and then heated.

They then end up x7 times smaller than before and ideal for jewellery use!

Before and After!

I had such fun with this.  Shrink plastic is one of those things I forget to use but when I do its just wonderful how the shape changes and quite delightful to use.  I am easily pleased. :)

Free For All Frame Card

It's another Anything Goes week this week and I am starting it off with this card:

I've cut one of the ~{Lace Effect Borders}~ into 4 pieces to make a frame. It's been painted with acrylic paints and then doodled around. You could, if you were accurate, cut angles on the edges to make it fit, but I don't trust myself so I added flowers in the corners to hide the gaps! Besides, it fitted the image perfectly - and that's what I shall continue to say ;)

Keep checking for the rest of the week to see what goodies the team have for you.
