I've gone with the simplest of ideas for my
Happy Little Stampers ATC coin today...
The challenge theme for this month is 'Time'...
I would be fibbing if I said this was my first idea, but given the size of an ATC coin and my lofty ambitions I had to ditch that! Plus, I think this beautiful sentiment fits the bill nicely... past, present and future are all to do with time, after all!
How was it made?
*
Start by brushing even strokes of
Red acrylic paint on to your coin.
Once completely dry, use sand paper and (following the direction of the brush strokes) gently sand back and forth.
(This lifts the paint from the edges to give a worn, aged look).
Stamp on the sentiment using Stazon
Jet Black ink and a Stamp Positioner Tool.
Do not remove the coin or the stamp!
Instead, use a Uniball Signo
White pen to highlight parts of the sentiment and then stamp over using Ranger
Perfect Medium.
Heat emboss using
Clear embossing powder.
Using
White acrylic paint and a finger, gently run around the edges of the coin. Don't worry if the paint is not even... that's the look we want!
Add three small
White flowers to finish.
