My card is quite detailed...so if you want a closer look, just click on the piccy.

Thanks for the thoughtful Challenge last week Wendy. It's always handy to have a few kind thought cards at the ready! Thanks to everyone who joined us with this one!

The Tanda Teaser this week is called 'Metallize'! I know a few of you have been getting into TSS metals recently and thought that you might like the excuse to play a bit more!

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!

Tanda Teaser 103 - Oh Daddy!


Thanks for the Butterfly teaser last week Wendy - some beautiful cards were shared with us both of the forum and on the blog, so thanks to any of you who took the time to join us!

With Father's day on Sunday it seems appropriate to use this as the theme for the Tanda Teaser this week, hence the title Oh Daddy! I know some of you might not have your father's around so if you wish you could make a general man themed card instead.

There are no restrictions on what you use, you do not to have to use Tanda stamps - you don't have to be a stamper either, just use whatever you have in your stash in whatever style you fancy!!

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.

Tanda Teaser 101 - Impossible to Resist Resist



Thanks for the Nautical themed Teaser last week Wendy - it was a shame that it has been so quiet on the blog this week...mind you there's still one night to go! We did have some lovely cards shared on the forum, thank you everyone for joining in this week!

The Tanda Teaser this week is called Impossible to resist resist! ie a technique challenge to use a resist technique somewhere on your card.

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!

Tanda Teaser 93 - Spring into Easter

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!!


Enjoy the challenge

The Tanda Teaser this week is called 'PUSHING DAISIES'! I've been dropping hints and clues and setting homework on the forum for a week or so, but don't worry it's not that difficult a challenge!

Basically this is partly a colour challenge about using complementary colours on your card to make them really "sing" and partly using the ever popular daisy. As some of you will know from my clues I have been inspired by the tv series "Pushing Daisies" which uses these colours to great effect.....
