Post 455: ATC Coins- Inspiration for Stampotique Designer's Challenge 302

Hi folks!
How are you today ?

Stampotique Stamps has 2 challenges per month and there are awesome prizes up for grabs, so please do read the rules and play along with us. You do not need to have Stampotique stamps to play along, isn't that cool? It's the second week of Stampotique Designer's Challenge- SDC#302 with the theme of ATC Coins.  For all the details, please check out the blog HERE.

In case this is new to you, ATC Coins are essentially 2.5 inch circle versions of ATCs, they are mini pieces of art that crafters and artists trade/swap among each other. 

As inspiration for SDC302, I've created 2 sets of ATC Coins. I was inspired by nature. One set is about bees and the other about trees. I created the bases out of 2.5 inch discs of Canson Watercolor paper onto which I smooshed on distress oxides. Then I lightly stamped with stamps from Stampotique's Phrase Cube 4-13038 to create interest in the background. I also did some light background stencilling using AB Studio stencils. Then I stamped on parts of the bee from Stampotique's Big Bee- 3008 and parts of the tree from Stampotique's Majestic Tree- 10034 using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Created some ink splatter with distress oxides and also added some depth with watercoloring & highlights with a white gel pen. Finished by creating some white ink splatter, added sentiments from Tim Holtz Small Talk Stickers, scribbled on a border to them & darkened the edges of the atc coins with Jet Black archival ink. 

Here are some photos of the ATC Coins:

ATC Coins Set 1: Bees

ATC Coins Set 2: Tree

Thanks a lot for your precious time!

Post 211- Birthday Card

Hi Friends :)

I'd like to share a birthday card today. This is roughly 5 by 7 inches in size and side folding. I have adhered the black card panel to the white card base in an offset manner in order to offer contrast to the black. I did some watercoloring with zig markers and an aqua brush. Stamped the silhouette of the tree and then painted the green foliage and scenery. To add stripes to the card, I added washi tapes. 

List of Supplies:

Winnie & Walter Stamp- A tree for all seasons (tree)

Winnie & Walter Stamp-The Big, Bold and Happy (sentiment-birthday)

Winnie & Walter In A Word Cutaways- Happy 

Cutplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die

Post 172: CAS Christmas Card

Hi friends :)

Hope you had a good weekend and have a great week ahead.
It is very hot in Delhi. Despite that, I think I prefer summers to winters.

Onto crafting, I'd like to share a Clean and Simple Christmas Card today.
This is a 5 by 7 inches side folding card.
I did masking, ink blending, embossing through a stencil, splattering and stamping on this project.
I had this christmas tree stencil for more than a month now and really wanted to try it, I'm glad I got a chance to work with it. It's a beautiful design.
I think the little splatter dots look like snow in the night sky :) The splatter was created using watered down perfect pearls
I stamped on the glittery washi tape with black staz on ink and it worked pretty well.
I've added 3 silver sequins to the right of the sentiment to finish off the project.

List of Supplies:

Paper Sweeties Stamp- Homespun Holidays
Artplorations Stencil- Christmas Trees
DCAM Stitched Ovals Nesting Dies
Iris White Cardstock 250 gsm
Snippet of Black Cardstock 250 gsm
Versamark Mini Inkpad
Wow Metalline Green Embossing Powder
Wow Metallic Glitter Silver Embossing Powder
Distress Oxide- Broken China
Sponge Dauber
Star Shaped Sequins
Silver Glitter Washi Tape (snippet, had some left over from an earlier project)
