Cat Trading by Rachel Harries

 

This weeks post from me is all about ATC coins, I have to say I think I shall be making many more.

I start off gessoing my coins so that they will be an even better surface to work on.

Next I glue some fragments of book page on my coins.

Then I take a stencil and pop it over the coins, I then use a dry brush to sprinkle some of the 13 Arts Color Glow Powders over the stencil, I then spray some water and let the colour develop before blotting the extra moisture away and removing the stencil.

I then popped the stencil back and blended some Distress ink over the top to add a little more definition.

I used the texture stamp set to add a little more detail to the background.

I then picked my images and stamped them where I wanted them on the coin and on a separate piece of card to cut out, it doesn't matter if the image on the coin doesn't come out well as I only need the detail in the outline.

I coloured my images and stuck them in place.

I then used the words stamp set to select appropriate words and added them with some
Tim Holtz Tiny Clips and glue.
