Anything goes week!

Hello folks!  Its another anything goes week where we show what we have made that's not been prompted.  I have used some very pretty *WINDOW FRAMES* from the Mini Range on a little wooden money box.

I used one of the *DOMINO'S* for the door and a little *HEART* for some decoration.  The chipboard was dry brushed with some acrylic to give a worn look. 

I used:

Life, art.... tag!

Happy Sunday morning!

Thank you for a lovely warm welcome last week. I am delighted to be sharing a tag with you today for the 'Heat It Up' theme.

For the base of the tag I used one of the 74mmx138mm {Mixed Media Boards} and trimmed away a couple of the corners quite easily with a normal pair of scissors.

Next I set about creating the background, this week using watercolour paints, after first applying a base coat of white Gesso.

Once dry, I stamped directly onto the tag and heated clear embossing powder over the stamped image.

Gold acrylic paint was applied around the edges and I used a clear Versamark embossing pad and powder over the top to add some dimension to the edges of the tag.

I decided to embellish the tag using a straight edged {Domino} again, applying a coat of white Gesso and watercolour paints, then stamped and clear embossed over the top. I did the same with some of the {Mini Flowers} I think they look like little iced biscuits !!

Thank you for calling and leaving a comment if you get the chance. I hope you can join us for the weekly themes, you never know, you might win a bag of goodies up for grabs. Check out this {LINK} for full details.

  Good luck, Gez ♥

Textured Circles ATC

For my 'Heat it up' project, I have made this ATC:

First off, I gave the ~{ATC}~ a coat of gesso and then while that was drying, I used masking tape to tape off the little pieces on the ~{Random Circles Mask}~ that I didn't want to use. I then used a thick coat of gesso through the circles of the mask and used the heat gun to dry it, making sure that it bubbled to give lots of lovely texture.

I used Neocolours II to give a watercolour background on the rest of the ATC, leaving the circles white.

I painted one of the buttons from the ~{Button Grab Bag}~ with DecoArt's Media Fluid Acrylic in ~{Quinacridone Violet}~. Once this was dry I used white embossing powder and a stamp to add details. I also added some white paint pen dots onto it.

When it was all dry, I doodled a border and added a flower, letters, ribbon and twine to finish it off.

Forever family : Heat it up with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my  today  project.
This time I am back to scrapbooking and I used quite a lot of Tando chipboards to make this classic (not Mixed Media) scrapbooking page.
The Paper House Productions products (papers, stickers) were arranged to this layout about my son's young family. Then I made the sentiment using Tando letters that were painted with light blue ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
 As a main embellishment element I used Tando  Scalloped banners that was stamped and heat embossed with 6 different stamps; one for each banner flag piece.
The circles grid was also inked in the same red ink and heat embossed with clear powder and then added under the title cluster. The best thing in those chipboards are those circled leftovers that made the perfect red dots randomly added all over the page.

Hope you are scrapbookers too and will use our gorgeous Tando products for your own family pages!

Heat It Up - Embossed Hanging

Hi All,

I love the 'magic' of embossing powder (lol my children are fascinated by it too!!) and how versatile it can be for stamping and masking/stenciling with.

I have made a hanging using the centre of the arch that I used for last weeks make, which can be seen here if you fancy a peek.

Texture paste was applied through the Long Flourish mask. Once dry a couple of coats of acrylic were added. A text stamp from my stash was used next with embossing ink and silver embossing powder. The mask was then placed over the modelling paste, embossing ink was used through the mask, the mask was removed and the relief pattern was embossed in silver. The edge of the hanging has been fully embossed too! A butterfly from the small bugs set was decorated and added for interest and a small stamped sentiment was added to finish.

Here is what I used......

Heat it up

Hello, Carol with you today continuing on with this weeks theme, Heat it up..

Today I have taken a "Karens Frame large gothic Arch" and added embossing powders and ultra thick clear enamel and created:-

The outer frame was given a covering of green embossing powder and heated, whilst still hot a stamp was pressed into the frame leaving a lovely uneven edge - if you do this just mind your fingers as the molten powder is rather hot! the inner section was coloured using distress ink - the lovely white board means that the inks glide across the arch and blend beautifully with very little effort… a covering of thick clear embossing enamel was added to finish off the piece.

Don't forget you can join in with our weekly themes and for one lucky person there is a great prize of Tando goodies up for grabs - check out the details here.

Heat It Up - Bold Teardrop Necklace

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing a fun necklace that I created for Heat It Up theme this week. I wear a lot of black, so when I wear jewelry I like bold colorful accents.
