Mermaid of the Sea Chipboard Tag Tutorial

Hello everyone!  Today I have more chipboard fun using Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts!  I love tags, and these extra large tags from GSL are the perfect substrate to use for not only your scrapbooking, but also for your mixed media needs.  They are super thick and will withstand applications of wet media and/or heavy items.

Right now, it seems that everyone is thinking of underwater themes and Summer time at the beach.  I know I am.  So I decided to use some of GSL's newest chipboard releases for my tag.  After all, I may just turn this into a mini album cover, adding more pages to use for a fun Summer mini album or mini art journal.

And a closeup of the chipboard.
