Gilded.......

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

The bases were die-cut to 2.5 inches in diameter from re-cycled food packaging. I then chose some Tim Holtz background paper and die-cut this. I stamped this with a background swirl stamp in purple Versafine Clair ink. The backgrounds were then added to the bases.

I then used some Tim Holtz stamps and stamped these onto dark pink paper in Versamark ink. This was then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. They were trimmed out and backed with black card to leave a small black border around. They were applied to the backgrounds.

Each Coin was then embellished with three metallic gold cabochons and each Coin was then edged with a gold pen to finish .....

Sweet ......

Made a set of Twinchies for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum in the theme of 'Sweet Things' .....

Rather than sweet cakes etc. I went for a sweet Panda on these. The bases were cut to 2 x 2 inches square from re-cycled food packaging and a piece of black card cut to the same. The card was applied to the bases.

I then chose a little panda stamp and stamped this in Versafine black ink on whaite card cut to 2.75 inches square.

I coloured the paws and noses with pink Posca pen. The word ' Sweet' was stamped in black Versafine ink, trimmed and added as shown to finish the Twinchies ....

Watery .......

A set of ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) made for a swap over at UK Stampers Forum in the theme of 'Waves & Water' ......

The bases were cut to 2.5 x 3.5 inches from re-cycled food packaging. I then chose some watery paper made using a Gel Plate and cut this applying to the bases.

I then stamped this with a water droplet stamp in Brilliance moonlight white as shown. I added some metallic chrome pen to highlight the droplets. I then stamped a couple of wave stamps in Versafine Clair dark blue.

I then added a strip of red Anchors to the left of the ATC's. The strips and ATC's were then edged with black alcohol pen.

The ATC's were finished with a Dymo printed word 'WET' .....
