Fall Altered Wood Slice

 

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

Today I created a fun Fall project with chipboard elements from Creative Embellishments combined with elements straight from nature!

This little project started with a slice of wood which I coated in clear gesso and added crackle paste, texture, and color to. I altered the following chipboards using an array of waxes and acrylic paints.
Wing Set 4
Mini Leaves Set 3
Autumn Leaves
Distressed Punchinella

Spooky Tag Duo for Creative Embellishments

 

Hello everyone! Today I have created some spooky fun tags using chipboards from Creative Embellishments!

Chipboards used:

Jolly Jack-O-Lanterns

Palm Foliage

To create my tags, I started with black chipboard cut to 3 1/2"X7 1/2" as a base. Patterned paper was cut to 3"X7" tattered and inked on the edges and then adhered to chipboard scraps to elevate them.

I added some stamped/embossed spiderwebs and trees and splatters of acrylic.

My chipboards were painted using acrylic paints.

These were added to my tags at different levels using scrap chipboard and glue along with some moss and black glitter.

Tim Holtz Halloween paper dolls were adhered using scrap chipboard on the back as well to elevate them from the tags.

Thanks So Much for viewing my project today! All chipboards used and many many more can be found at
