This is another invite over to the DecoArt Mixed Media Blog, where I am sharing a project done using a left over chipboard frame that came with one of our numerous board games our friends, my husband and I love to play.
Most of these games have a lot of tokens and these come pre-punched but still in their chipboard frames for safer transport. I like to keep the frames as these are usually made from very sturdy chipboard and often they make for perfect frames to create little display trays from. Perfect for a collector of all things small and wondrous like me ;)
So this was how the frame looked before...
...and this is a sneak peek of how it looked after I had used some of my favourite DecoArt media products and paints on it.
There's a very detailed tutorial with loads of steps images over at the DecoArt Mixed Media Blog and I hope you will like it (and the finished project of course) ! I have already put it up on my wall as it displays some of my favourite shells and fossils. They have been stored away in a drawer for way too long - now I am happy that I can look at them every day. And as I am quite happy with how the tray turned out I am happy to look at that too. ;)
Hugs and happy crafting!

I also love to collect shell and little pieces of 'stuff'. What a great way to showcase them. I so enjoy your work and look forward to seeing it. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful collage.
