Flower .....

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

The bases were die-cut from re-cycled food packaging. I then chose some magenta printed paper for the background and stamped with Versafine black ink with a floral frame stamp from IndigoBlu. The flowers were highlighted with white posca pen.

I then chose some paper flowers in magenta nd lime and stamped these with green Versafine Clair ink along with a stamp from AAll & Create.

The decorated papers were added to the bases and the flowers applied as shown. Each was centred with a pink faceted gem.

I then added 3 gold cabochons to each and edged with green Versamagic chalk ink to finish .....

Sew ......

A set of Twinchies made for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum in the theme of 'In Stitches' ......

The bases were cut to 2 x 2ins square and I also cut some red card to the same size applying to the bases. I then die-cut some zig-zag edged circles from purple card and stamped this with a stitch stamp in Versafine black ink. I then die-cut some medallions from lime green card and again stamped these with a stitch stamp. I sewed a button with black twine to the centre of each of these and applied the medallions to the centre with hot melt glue.

The purple layer was then added off-centre to the bases. 

The Twinchies were finished with a strip of Washi tape and some white & black Posca pen .... each was edged in purple Versamagic chalk ink ......

Seaside .....

Made an Artist Trading Card for a monthly Challenge over on the Crafty Individuals Facebook Group .... the theme was Beach/Seaside ......

The base of the ATC was cut to 2.5 x 3.5 inches from re-cycled food packaging. I chose some of the Craft Individuals printed paper as the background and cut to size applying on the base.

I then applied two torn strips of waves Washi tape to the bottom of the ATC.

The main image (CI- 283) of the girls was stamped on white card in Versafine black ink which was heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The image was trimmed out and coloured with Distress ink washes and a waterbrush. The image was then applied onto the ATC.

I then chose another stamp (CI-278) as the sentiment and stamped this on blue card in blue Versafine ink. It was trimmed out and edged with gold Krylon pen before applying as shown on foam pads and centring with blue adhesive gem.

The ATC was finished by edging in more gold Krylon pen .....

Letters ......

The bases were punched to 1 x 1 inches from re-cycled food packaging. I then stamped some paper with Versamark inks and punched this to size.

The paper was attached to the background. I then added red flower to the top left of each Inchie along with a self adhesive map letter which was edged with black Micron pen. A blob of green Nuvo drops was added to the centre of each flower and each was edged with green Versamagic chalk ink to finish.
