Natalie Kalbach Elephant

Hello!  I have chosen to work with a Natalie Kalbach stamp today, the wonderful ELEPHANT!!!  This stamp is amazing value as there are two stamps in the pack as well as a lovely 5x7 stencil to play with!  Each elephant is different though the same size and shape.  These stamps are big at nearly 7inches long.  With this in mind I thought I would stamp onto fabric for my project!

For the main body I chose some bright cotton fabric and stamped onto the reverse so that I had some soft shading.  Then I stamped again onto the bright side for the 'blanket' and cut that section out.  I decorated that with beads and bobbly braid.  Another whole elephant was cut out and I stitched them together leaving a gap for stuffing, adding a ribbon to hang by and a tail as well as incorporating the 'blanket' into the seam.  Then I added some more braid and a button & bead for the eye.

Thank you for popping over, take care, Karen x

Color Theme - Nevermore Arch

Hi! Dana here today sharing the arch I created for the Color Theme this week. Once the calendar year reaches October, I begin to think about all of my favorite creepy and crawly things. Edgar Allen Poe is always at the top of the list. I printed a digital paper onto a piece of vellum for the focal point of this arch. I used the Letters Mask to stencil the word "Nevermore" onto the background of the image. I then colored in the letters and covered them with a layer of DecoArt Clear Liquid Glass. Once the image was dry, I backed it with a piece of patterned paper and then glued one outer cut from the Arabian Style Layered Arch Frame over the top. I painted the frame with acrylic paint to bring in more colors for the challenge palette.

You can find the chipboard I used for this project, and a wonderful selection of DecoArt products, in the Tando Creative Retail Store.

Autumn Leaves with Lisa

Hi Folks, Lisa here and welcome to 

my creation for this weeks theme, Autumn Leaves.

I must admit, I'm a huge fan of Autumn. The beautiful colours, animated sounds and textures that Autumn brings.... 

With that in mind, I wanted to incorporate all these in to this weeks theme. 

Here is my creation...

I added a layer of DecoArt texture sand paste to the background piece then painted the inside background with DecoArt Media fluid acrylic paints.

I applied a layer of DecoArt Media crackle paint to the outside frame. I gather all the leaves from the Tando products and started to layer. 
I love how Tando products can be used individually or can be layered to create an extreme 3D piece.

So, I arranged and re-arranged the leaves until I was happy with the layout. Then adhered them to the frame.

I mixed a palette of autumn colours with DecoArt Media fluid acrylics and painted the leaves.

All of the products I have used are listed below and are available on the Tando Website.

Mini heart printer tray
Leaf branch with loose leaves
