Hello friends! I'm currently working on using up my chipboard stash (yay, go me!). My chipboard collection gets quite a bit of usage first as "stencils" for my mixed media projects before they end up as dimensional pieces on my projects. Do you do that too?
As always, my tag base is cardboard from packaging. I glued 2 pieces together for a sturdy base before covering the front and back with paper scraps and painting with a layer of gesso.
When the gesso layer was dry, I went in with some mists in fall-inspired colours.
And since I was playing along with the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, I had to add in my Maya Road wood token with a coffee cup, nestled between fall leaves. *winks*
I finished off with a Maya Road diecut hello and some pretty trim.
These are some of my fave colours to use on projects and I love how it turned out - perfect for adorning a gift bag of coffee beans, tea bags or hot chocolate.
Happy week ahead friends!
Fabulous tag!! Love how you reuse and repurpose the chipboard!!
