Merry Christmas door hanger with Tando : Anything goes with Tando

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Welcome to my Anything goes weekly project here on Tando  blog.

I made the fancy, shabby style Christmas door hanger.

   

This Tando door hanger was covered with DecoArt Media line paints and mediums over the texture paste
 masked snowflakes images (mostly seen on the handle on the top).
Large grid chipboard piece was painted with gesso and some crackle paste and added as the middle layer .
Then the embellishment cluster was made from cardstock, flowers, clay frame and metal trinket.

 I also enter this project to some web challenges:

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.

Mixed media challenge with Topflight stamps shop and Indigoblue

Hello my dear friends and welcome to my new Topflight Stamps post.

This is a week we share out own inspiration to the Mixed Media Monthly challenge and this is the inspirational photo.

The team was asked to make the challenge inspiration with IndigoBlu stamp and this is my altered 5*7'' canvas made for this challenge:

This is the stamp set I used to make this small, but lovely art piece- Floral Fantasy

 And now a couple of close- ups or side looks of my canvas:

As you can see I stamped over the canvas with pigmented ink and heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder.

Then most of the images were painted with distress markers. 

The entire background was made with distress inks.

I added die cut clock and window over the canvas. The clock was heat embossed.

The window was painted with crackle paint and them misted.

I added the " lace" look over the die cut curtains with the same half doily stamp from the set, using white heat embossed image and overall misting.

Two butterflies were stamped in the same way, misted and then hand cut and glued over the piece.

I hope that you like my Mixed Media art canvas and would join the challenge with us.

See you next week with a totally different stamping inspiration.
