Square .....


A set of Artist Trading Coins made for a swap in UK Stampers Forum ....

The bases were die-cut to 2.5 in circles from re-cycled food packaging. I then selected a decorative paper and die cut 3 pieces. These were stamped with black Versafine ink with a numbers stamp from AAll & Create.

I then cut 3 die-cut pieces using the other side of the double sided paper which has blue colours. These were edged in black ink and applied as shown over the backgrounds. I used a blue Posca marker to outline the triangles and added some dots as shown. The embellished backgrounds were applied to the base, edged in dark blue Versamagic chalk ink.

Each Coin was centred with a black sparkly gem to finish ......

Festive .......


A set of Inchies made for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum ....

They are just 1 inch square. I decided to do something a bit Festive and made a background with watercolours. The bases were punched from re-cycles food packaging and were covered with the background paper.

Each Inchie was then stamped with Versafine black ink with a circular 'sewn stitch' stamp.

I then die-cut a white snowflake and trimmed out the 6 'arms' of the snowflake applying as shown. Each was decorated with an adhesive gem and each was edged with Versamagic chalk ink to finish .....
