Artist Trading Coins

Hello!! It's Wanda with you today.  Wow, can you believe it's July 2nd?  Half of 2018 is already behind us.

For this post I've made my first Artist Trading Coins.  What is an artist trading coin you ask.  They are like artist trading cards except they are a 2 1/2" circle instead of a 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" rectangle.  Cool, huh.  I found that one of the circles in the Sizzix/Tim Holtz Stitched Circles Die Set is exactly 2 1/2" and that is what was used to cut all the circles.

Also this post includes one coin (the last one) created by my daughter, Krista (her blog is http://papiliosrainbow.blogspot.com )  Her and her partner are taking their vacation at our place and we have been having a blast creating together.  Mostly we've been learning about acrylic paint pouring but we've also fit in a bit of stamping.

Most of the stamps used in this post are from the newest releases.  Fabulous stamps!!!!!!!!!!!  I hope you are inspired!!!!!!!

This last coin is the one made by my daughter.  She used Gelatos for the background.  Stamped and embossed the quote in Black.  Around the edges is Emerald Creek, Seth Apter Embossing Powder - Rocky Road.  The flowers and dragonfly are brads.
