Cabinet Card for Rubber Dance

Here's a sneaky peek of my project featuring over on the Rubber Dance blog today, including some instructions for this faded, retro-style colouring technique. Hope you like!

I used the gorgeous Nostalgic Couples set for this project (the stamp of the couple - called Retro Couple - is also available as a single).

Tando Animals Week

The theme this week at Tando is animals - and as anyone who sees my Facebook shares will know, my fave animals are bats! This also means I love Halloween, so here's a card featuring a pair of winged beauties in a spooky, misty Halloween scene!

I used the Tando Minis Bats for my main focal point, simply painting them black for a silhouette effect.

The moon is created using a circle mask around which I blended Distress Inks. I then used the negative of the circle to add some light yellow colouring and speckled stamping in grey to the moon, giving it more detail.

The Stampendous landscape stamp is added in grey to make it look like it's shrouded in mist. Finally I placed the bats silhouetted against the full moon and added a sentiment by Stampotique.

Hope you like! Happy Hauntings!!!

Tando Monthly Challenge - Letters and Numbers

It's time for this month's Tando Challenge and the theme is Letters and Numbers

When I saw this latest challenge theme from Tando, my mind immediately went to the gorgeous alterable clocks that Di does.

I chose this Andy Skinner clock and, as his sample is very masculine, deliberately went for a very shabby chic and feminine look to mine.

I used the Tim Holtz Wallflower papers - which include sheets of 3x3 designs. These were the perfect size for the clock segments! Other than the paper my clock is fairly simple. I edged each segment with grey ink and Treasure Gold, before gluing in place and sealing with Mod Podge Shimmer, which adds a lovely warm glow.

This will look lovely in my spare room which is decorated in vintage tones.

Check out what everyone else made over on the Tando Challenge Blog - there are prizes up for grabs too!

Hope you like!
