CUP CAKE COVE TAG

by - May 30, 2015

Hello friends, Welcome to my blog!! Today am sharing with you all a tag made by recycling packaging cardboard and pistachio shells. 



I took a piece of packaging cardboard and applied a coat of gesso to it. Then I used my dylusion sprays of yellow and green colour. Added some texture using texture paste. Made two small tags using card stock and distressed their edges. I made the cupcake using cotton roll and cup cake liners.   The cherry topping in the cupcake is made using air dry clay. You can find the tutorial of making these cute cup cakes here.


For the embellishments I adhered some old burlap pieces and handmade flowers. I have used pistachio shells for the leaves. Glued foam die cuts and a printed sentiment. 




The colour palette for this project is from unruly paper arts.Hope you all liked my tag. Thank you for stopping by.
