Use modelling paste with Tando

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Tando altered door tag.

This week the design team member were asked to make a project with modelling paste and as you can see this door is totally made of modelling paste.

I used the MDF base with some texture stripes added using one of Tando  Stripes stencil and DecoArt texture paste.
Then the base was painted around.
The four  chipboard parts are the insides of the window covered with Gioanna- Doilie Tando stencil and texture made with texture paste.I used the middle part of the stencil only, the one with the small butterfly.
After it was dry the inside pieces were painted with more of DecoArt Media Line acrylics and metal pieces were added to make it a kind of the door.

 Tando products used to make this project:

Memories Door canvas

Hello my dear crafty friends!
This canvas is a first of a few Mixed Media projects made  this month just for some web challenges.
So this is my door shaped Memories canvas and it's also perfect notebook cover (if I decide to add it over the same size notebook or journal). I made over the stencilled canvas with chipboards  hand made door over. I used a lot of stencils over the piece and a huge mix of mediums, paints, waxes and mists.
More then Dusty Attic chipboards there are a clay mold piece, a few metal pieces, Prima and other flowers.

I also enter this piece to Mixed Media and Art November challenge. I was inspired by the colors of the lower left spot,texture on the midlle circle and general mood of grunge and vintage looks.It sure is a kind of misterious door to our precious memories.

Song of Ice and Fire altered canvas

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Mixed Media canvas post.
 This pretty large canvas was made as a tribute to one of most favorite books- Song of Ice and Fire (also most of us know it as the most famous TV production named " The Game of Thrones").
I am a big fan of all things fantasy and SF and everything that maybe is not real, but makes me happy to watch or to read it.
So I made it for a couple of web challenges and you can see the challenges under the project photos.
As you can see it has the vintage Mixed Media background made with stencils, texture paste, Prima Mixed Media products , Tattered Angels  paints and mists.
Then I added the smaller altered canvas over the large one and then the tag was added with the chipboards ad trinkets cluster and the saying.
 Actually I used a lot of products over this canvas: painta, mediums, waxes, micro beads, silk and paper flowers, chipboards, metal pieces, cardstock die cuts, foil transfers, stencils, lace, chain, wires and even this fabolous jewelry ice drop on the front.
And I even used nver used old brads to make the grid background to look as the wooden pieces connected in this oldfashioned style.

I made this project for a couple of web challenges:
Favortie book for Canvas Corp- my inspiration came from old books with vintage looks, journal cover on the bottom and general colors.

Fantasy for Mixed Media and Art- my inspiration came from the theme and gold splashes and general fantasy look of this canvas.

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today I am going to share my new Mixed Media canvas that I made for .... Not for any of my design teams and just for a fun!
Yes- sometimes I have spare time and hopeful now I have a bit more of this rare  for me thing.
So this is  a " Trip of a Lifetime" altered Steampunk /Vintage style project and I made it for a couple of web challenges.
 The central cluster was made with wooden pieces, Prima molds, metal trinkets and a lot of paints and waxes from Prima.
The first challenge is for Dusty Attic and they asked to work with their products (all chipboards are from this company) in a vintage kind of style.My inspiration came from the clock and general background on the bottom and the vintage look of the moodboard.

I also made this for the Words and Paintery challenge using the colors the  general " be creative " words.

Your Fearless song art canvas

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today I am going to share a large canvas that I made just for challenges.
Once or twice a month I take time to free myself from any DT job and I scroll the challenge blogs to find the themes that I love. Then I make a pretty large project and try to combine a few of these challenges.
So here is the first one for September and you should read a bit about this project to understand the concept.

As you can see I made a tribute to one of the most famous all time artists- Sir Elton John.
For a few last days/weeks there were a lot of TV shows that remembered  Princess Diana who passed 20 years ago.
So one of the things that made me to make this canvas was  Elton's version for " Candle in the wind" that he made for  Diana's funeral.
This canvas has a lot of items that are connected to his songs: you can spot the yellow brick road, the candle over the tags and even this English rose from Diana's version of the song.
The title says Create your fearless song and is actually his  all time most popular "Your song".

I made this page with different stencils from all possible companies.
The paper and stickers are from 7 dots.
The chipboards are also from a few companies, but mostly from Creative Embellishments.
The background stamps are from Unity.
And the paints? Whatever I had.
I really love the outcome of my love to this artist and even the photos were scanned from the CD covers that I own.
 I think that I would do some more art pieces in the same style and maybe John Lennon will be the next one.

7 dots- Favorite Artist


More than Words- Grungy and word Fearless



Journey for Scrapki-wyzwaniovo- and this is my artistic journey to my early years that  I make these days.
John Lennon will be the next canvas and so on.

Make home decoration with 4 ATC cards

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my July Inspired by Stamping inspiration post.
Today I am going to show you how to make 4 very similar ATC cards and then to make a lovely home deco piece out of them.

 Usually most of us think that ATC cards are just for trading.
But look how lovely is this home decoration piece made over the wooden panel with lovely cardstock, some central embellishments cluster and all 4 ATC  over it.

And  here is a quick tutorial I made for you to use and to make the similar project with Inspired by Stamping stamp set here:



Words of Inspiration 2 set

Step by step tutorial:
1. Arrange 4 stamps from the set inside your Misti tool .Use dark pigmented ink to stamp them all together.
I used dark brown ink as my black was dry, but it actually doesn't matter as I heat embossed it later with black powder.

2.Heat emboss the stamped sentiments and then cut to ATC size.

3.Use 4 different stencils and add texture paste over the cards, but try to leave the stamped images without any white paste over them.

4.When dry use mists (not shown) and sparkling acrylic paints to get this colorful look for your cards.

5.Add some crackle glaze around the cards and sprinkle some micro beads over the wet glaze.

 6. Arrange the cards over the cardstock glued to the wooden  panel. Add the central embellishments spot.

Fly away tag

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new post!
This is a tag made with Scrapmatts stencils and chipboards and Papericious paper collection.
It's a kind of encouragement tag and I made the double sentiment saying : Go and find yourself and then fly away".

Both sentiment parts are arranged over the Scrapmatts chipboard pieces made with cardstock and stickers.
Chipboards were painted with Prima Spark and Metallic paints.
I used two stencils for the textured background, but only the lower one is still seen.
