Bows ......

A set of 3 Artist Trading Coins made for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum .....

The bases were die-cut from re-cycled food packaging to 2.5 inches in diameter. I then choses some background paper and die-cut to the same size. The background was added to the bases and they were stamped in three colours using Distress Oxide inks.

A piece of striped washi tape was added to each as shown. I then die-cut three bows from black card and applied as shown. I then added a metallic gold cabochon to each bow.

Chequers ......

A set of  6 Inchies made for a swap over in UK Stampers Forum ......

The bases were punched to 1 x 1 inch from re-cycled food packaging. I then stamped some printed paper with a formulas stamp (IndigoBlu) in Versafine black ink and punched this as before and applied to each of the bases.

Next I chose some mauve card and stamped this with a chequers stamp (Aall & Create) and cut to .5 x.5 inch, edging in black ink and applying to the centre of the printed background. I then added a iridescent mauve pearl cabochon to the centre of each.

The Inchies were finished by edging in pink Posca pen .....

Black & White .......

 An ATC & holder made for a swap over on the 'Crafty Individuals Facebook Group' in the theme of Black & White .......

The base was cut to 2.5 x 3.5 inches from re-cycled food packaging. I then trimmed some white card to the same size and coloured this with a blending tool and Black Soot Distress ink to form a sky. I sprinkled this with water drops and removed the water with some kitchen towel. I then used a stamp from Crafty Individuals (CI-565) and stamped on the background in Versafine black ink which was then heat embossed. I added a strip of Washi tape to ground the animals.

I then used a circle mask and added more Black Soot Distresss in with a blending brush to add a sun (or moon) to the card. I also drew on three birds in flight.

I then added the background to the base and finished by adding black squares around the edge of the card with black Micron pen to finish.

The holder was made using Tim Holtz dies and black card ..... hope the recipient likes it !
