ATC

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

Today I’m bringing you an ATC Coin set I created for the August 2020 Creative Embellishments Challenge.

I have a quick process video to go along with this project, if you’d like to see how I put these together.

Process Video (potentially still uploading):

Here is the inspiration graphic from Creative Embellishments. I saw the challenge on the first of the month, and I just remembered “Mermaids” until I was finally able to get a project together! I love all things fantasy, so I knew I had to participate this month!

All-in-all I had about two hours of “work” put into the making of these (not including any air dry time), and I am very happy with how they came out!

I layered some gilding flakes on top of some homemade texture paste using Ranger’s Sticky Embossing Powder, added the “Mermaid Artist Trading Coins” to the base, glued down some shells, used some of Finnabair’s wonderful waxes, and added some 13 @rts microspheres as a finishing touch.

To me my Artist Trading Coins looked like they very well could have been coins sitting on the ocean floor!

Thank you for joining me in my little corner for this rather quick project! I hope you enjoyed it and I’ll see you again soon!

Stay Crafty!

Hi, all! I have managed yet another project this month!! Still not going to question or argue with my brain’s decision to be active this month!

This time I have made a set of Artist Trading Coins for the Lindy’s Gang May 2020 Color Challenge.

Below the Lindy’s Gang Color Challenge Image, you’ll find a quick process video!

Here’s a quick (7 minutes) video of what I did:

Now for a few close-ups:

For the background I used a circle punch on the paper ribbon and added a stamped image that I embossed with some Lindy’s Gang “Silver Moon Mistletoe” Embossing Powder (Discontinued?). For the stars I mixed a little of the “Plumeria Pink” Flat Magical with some water and brushed it on, and for the wings I mixed the same “Plumeria Pink” Flat Magical with some white gesso to lighten it up. I dyed the cheesecloth with the “Aloha Avocado” Flat Magical powder, and after everything was dry I just started layering, adding some sisal, twine, and “Small Talk” phrases!

Once I figured out where I was going with this project, it went along rather quickly! Sometimes the idea is harder than the execution!
