Don't worry if you don't have TSS metals or tools, you can use coke cans, tomato puree tubes, kitchen foil, metal embellishments/charms, brads, basically anything as long as it's metallic.

Tanda Teaser "Text It!" extended for 1 week

Hi Guys,
Wendy sends her apologies, but she is unable to post the teaser for this week for personal reasons and as I've just started my new job at Craft Stamper Magazine and will be attending the Artisan show at the weekend I'm afraid that I haven't got time to set up a new teaser this week. So we have decided to extend the "Text it!" teaser for another week....have no worries...we will be back to normal next week one way or another!

I'm not sure what the problem is, Wendy hasn't told me exactly, but I think she could do with your hugs/prayers right now...

Wendy, if you are reading this I am sure that you know we will all be thinking of you!

On this week's example card I have used Linda Luckin's mini from her new Car plate 1 and a tyre print from TandaStamps man tracks set...the image has been coloured using copic markers.

This is the card I've made from my DH, his first car was a mini. It was a wreck when he got it, but he and his dad did it up together, so when I saw Linda's new stamps I thought that there couldn't be anything more appropriate for father's day.

Hope you all enjoy the teaser this week, and I look forward to seeing all your lovely artwork.

On this week's example card I have used custom stamps that I had made by Andrew at Tanda. And yes I know I bang on about it..but can you believe this...an A5 sheet of clear polymer stamps...in your own design...costs the same as an A5 polymer set of stamps on the Tanda Web site...well what are you waiting for..get drawing!

For my card I stamped my lemon slice in versamark and heat embossed in clear ep, I then coloured the image with brusho inks. To make the pith white I just painted around the centre of the lemon with bleach to take the colour out again. I didn't remove the clear ep as I liked the wet juicy look that it gave the lemons.

I hope you enjoy this week's challenge and remember you still have until tomorrow to take part in last week's challenge!

For this week's example card I have used stamps from TandaStamps Claris Cliff set 1, I have to admit though that I asked Andrew to make the square out of the corner crocus stamp and the border out of the straight crocus stamp...I'm sure if you asked him nicely he would make you custom stamps too!!! You could get the same effect using a stamp positioner.....but trust me it's much easer to call Andrew!!
