Sleet & Snow ATCoin

My first attempt at making ATCoins for a swap!  Lots of fun!

The coins were cut from coaster board using a 2 1/2" BigZ die & pieces of various  tissue wraps were cut big enough to cover the circles. Matte medium was brushed onto the coaster & tissue wrap then they were adhered together making sure the edges were well covered.

After they dried, the tissue wrap was trimmed & the edges were sanded to remove any rough edges.

They were inked using distress chipped sapphire & a little dusty concord.

Then Umbrella Man was stamped using black soot archival ink.  This is a DIY ink pad & is also the best to stamp on acetate with.  It's definitely black without that hint of blue.

Various stickers were placed a little off the edge then trimmed.

I recently saw a technique to make rain but I'm sorry now I can't find who to give credit to.  She used a chalk marker but I didn't have good luck with it so I used the small end of a stylus dipped in picket fence paint & swiped it across the surface at an angle.  To seal the coins & give them a wet look, they were sprayed with resist spray.

Hope you enjoyed my ATCoins.

TFL!!

Merry Musical Christmas

Just love CAS cards!  This was my shoebox project for an event I attended. 

Before die cutting "Merry Christmas", I ran the cardstock through my Xyron so it would have an adhesive back.

After stamping & die cutting the holly, I colored the ribbon with gold Wink of Stella & added red Stickles over the berries.

Unfortunately the SU music DSP is discontinued but you could make it by masking & using a background music stamp.




This was a fun easy card to make!  Thanks for looking!
