Father - Pion Design + Tando Creative

Hi! I created this layout for the Anything Goes Challenge this week on the Tando Creative Design Blog using the NEW Mister Tom's Treasures collection from Pion Design. My favorite piece of paper from the collection features an industrial factory blueprint, and I had a lot of fun cutting and layering pieces of paper from that design and embellishing it with chipboard from the Tando Creative Andy Skinner Industrial Elements Set.

I didn’t have a family photo for this page, so I used one of the images from the Mister Tom’s Treasures Images from the Past patterned paper, which I think works just as well.

I added chipboard gears, washers, and screws from the Industrial Elements Set to play up the industrial design. I couldn’t resist adding some delicate butterflies for a bit of contrast.

I painted the chipboard with a mix of Distress and acrylic inks. Then, I added a layer of Distress Rock Candy Stickles. Once the chipboard pieces were dry, I added a bit more grudge with some Black Soot Distress Ink before gluing the pieces together. The Industrial Elements Set is a fantastic mix of over 100 cogs, washers, door plates, book plates, bolt heads and screw heads in various sizes, so I have a lot left to work with.

You can find the Industrial Elements Set that I used for this layout in the Tando Creative Retail Store! We'd love to see what you create for our Anything Goes Challenge!
