One of my favorite sets of Tando chipboard is the lantern set, released last fall. I had a lot of fun aging my chipboard and the chain with a copper surfacer and patina green and black tinting solutions. I colored some sticky-back canvas with mist, which I then cut into squares and rectangles, to create the background for my tag.
This glass piece is an amp tube from my husband's guitar amp. I think it looks like a funky light bulb and it fit perfectly in the center of this chipboard piece. In keeping with the music theme, I used some of my favorite song lyrics written by Kurt Cobain; "The sun is gone, but I have a light."
Here is a list of the fabulous blogs taking part in this hop:
