Have a Heart

Hearts and swirl is the theme at OOTH this week.
A Tando pennant has been painted and stamp with paint, the lovely heart (air dry clay) was a RAK from a friend  has been painted and coloured with promarkers

 

Anything can be useful

OOTH challenge this week is most useful stamp/s, I find lots of stamps useful and on this occiasion I choose to use some of the Tim Holtz visage range to add texture to the background of my tag .

 

 

Also ABAC would like to use anything that can be tied, well that's what tags are for lol but I have also used some lace on my tag :)

 

 

 

So it was back to a favourite colour combo of worn lipstick and broken china with picket fence distress stain for the background and stamping again in the same colours.

Chipboard shapes from Tando .

 

Tando Clock

Last night I had great fun making this clock at Pickwell farm and if you live in the Southampton area I hope you go and visit the shop as Carolyn stocks a lovely range of Tando along with lots of other goodies :)
We all had the same frame and all the papers (Tim Holtz) and stains inks and stamps provided I chose the retro grunge and shabby shutter with peeled paint for the frame and wild honey and peeled paint for the background, with sour apple and forest moss PP mists shame you can't see them in the photo though. I've only used a couple of the shapes provided I didn't want to over do it... oh yes and I've stuck it together in such a way that the green panels can be slid out and replaced with photo's

Thanks for stopping by and I'd love to know what you think :)

Tando and Fabric

I've been following the Tando challenge for a while now mainly cos I love the creations  that Karen makes, this it the first time I have joined in but I'm sure it won't be the last now I have more time on my hands.
The challenge is to use fabric, so I've used canvas for my tag (the sort you buy on a roll) and dylusion sprays in lemon, grass, london blue and crushed grape with the Tando flower mask. The flowers are out lined with dots made with liquid pearls and silver paint for faux stitching around the edge , all the embelishment are stuck down with the cosmic shimmer acrylic glue even the friendly plastic leaf .

I just had fun and made something that pleased me :) so hope you like it too
