Black, white and gold with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends !
 My new altered project is all about Gold. (added to bare chipboards  or stamped over the painted chipboard, but still gold).


I painted this Tando Creative Bottle frame with black acrylic, then stamped Ann Butler's one single 2'' Faux Quilting Unity stamp with clear embossing ink. Then I heat embossed it with Gold EP from WOW!  and embellished with some black rhinestones.


The back paper is  glittered and embossed, so nothing more was added to this Tando  Happy title, heat embossed again with black and gold powders.


The last, but not least is this golden bow: recycled from some Lindt chocolates that I didn't like. But I sure liked the bow!

Black and Gold Christmas Card


Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing a card for the Black and Gold theme this week. I applied black rub-ons to a piece of gold cardstock for a festive card base.


I then adhered this layered snowflake, that I topped with a Mini Star that I painted gold, for a bit of dimension. This card was quick and easy to put together! There are 25 pieces in the package of Mini Stars, so you could send handmade greetings to everyone on your list and still keep the cost low!


Thanks for stopping by today!

Black and Gold Tree card

 I made another quick and easy Christmas card for our black and gold week(I'm stubbornly refusing to spend too long on cards!):


I've painted one of the ~{Brush Stroke Trees}~ with black acrylic paint then stamped and embossed with gold powder including the star.

I doodled a border and stuck the tree on, finishing off with a greeting stamp.

Black and Gold - Masquerade

Hi there!

This weeks theme is Black and Gold and I had a play with a face mask, some paint, and a Tando mask!

Create your own masquerade ball mask using a Tando stencil


This is a paper mache type mask so ideal for painting onto.  I used the Tando Creative Andy Skinner - Sunburst mask to create the effect with some Gold Viva Decor Ferro. Its not a quick process because you have to apply the design a bit at a time, but it creates a good effect.

Sunburst


Just need a masquerade ball to go to now!!

Quick Christmas cards...

Hellooooo!  If you are stuck for an idea for 'batch making' your Christmas cards try something like this!  They are quick and easy for a 'production line' hahahahaha!!!  This one is Black & Gold to fit our topic this week.  Sorry that the sparkle doesn't show up that much :-(


I have used the Tando STEAMPUNK CHRISTMAS TREE MASK for mine but there are other Christmasy masks available as well!  Simply take some black card and cover it with some Sparkly Clear Glitter paint.  When dry spread some Sparkle Medium through the mask.

I have also done some that have a dry-brush painty background to add more colour.  Using different colour mediums took some of the boredom chore out of making so many cards!!!


These really do look striking in real life. 

The Steampunk Christmas Tree Mask...


For this Christmas masks and lots of other goodies do pop over *here* for a browse, there is loads to wet your crafting appetite plus we have some new releases very soon!!!! HUGS, Karen
