I picked up this Halloween sign after Halloween because it seemed like I could bring new life to it. I began by sanding it with the Proxxon Delta Sander to remove the finish so it could be decorated.
Once sanded, I painted the piece with black gesso. Going through my stash I pulled out lots of chipboard elements. Once I like their placement, I glued them in place.
Then I painted everything with white gesso, letting some of the black gesso peak through.
To finish I sprayed on assorted Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists to add color. Heat setting between each layer allowed the colors to stay vibrant.
This is a wonderful addition to my home's seasonal décor.
Thanks for stopping by.

What a lovely Plaque Steph. You did a great job
of refurbishing a old piece to a most
attractive Christmas item.
Well done and I love the design.
Nice job. I like that you took one thing and made something entirely new and really beautiful. Good instructions also.
Now that's what I like, to repurpose and reuse! I like the Christmas sign a LOT better. Nice piece.
