ATC Coins!!!

Oh boy, I have been bitten by the ATC Coin bug!! I have made many dear friends over the years, around the world, we have shared our work, where to get the latest and greatest in regards to the stamping and paper craft industry, and of course, groups and challenge groups!

I joined the group ATC Coins on Facebook and wow, what a fun and creative group! Find following a few coins I have created and traded with in the group!

Just a bit about ATC Coins, coins are 2 1/2" round, that's it! the sky is the limit!

                 
                           Stamps used on this set of coins are From Witt and Sass Stamp Company

Stamps used on this set are from Studio G - Turkey and the sentiment is from Stamping Bella - Thanksgiving - from the Odd Ball line.

After a trip to Pittsburgh Pa, to the new Brutus Munroe store, I had to create this set using the Witch Please set!

I love the message on this coin! As women we all need to practice great self care. We do need to make our self first sometimes.

Halloween Card created for a card trade

Boo! I joined my first ever card swap. I used a stamp set from Michael's, the big box craft store. I love to support my favorite woman owned shops on the internet, however every once in a great while, one of the big box stores will have something very unique, that I have to have.


  I decided to emboss my imagines with white embossing powder and fussy cut them out. I then pop dotted them for dimension.

Hello Friends!

I have been busy creating with water colors! I am so in love. Find following photos and more info on my favorite technique.

I am using cold press water color paper, lighter weight, and 3 stamp pads in coordination colors and my very

favorite stamp, I bought at a garage sale, I have tried to research what company manufactured this stamp and the name of the set to no avail. 

On a non stick mat, I have applied ink, spritzed with water and then picked it up the ink with my stamp, and stamped  the paper.

Working with the second color, I repeated the same process

And the same with the third color

Viola ! Done
