I hope you're enjoying the Easter break ..... its been lovely here. The sun has been shining all weekend and we've had a fabulous relaxing few days, sat in the garden most of the time. I've even managed some time in the craft room.
I was supposed to be tidying up in there, ready to start on new projects this week but I got a little sidetracked. It was also a little too warm in there so I didn't stay that long ...... making the most of the sunshine has been top of the list this weekend.
I did stay in there long enough to join in with this months Happy Little Stampers ATC challenge though
Whilst I was 'tidying' I came across some unfinished MDF Artist Trading Coins. I haven't made any in a while so I thought it would be fun to use April's challenge theme ........ Pretty Papers (something else I haven't used in a while!) and play along
A set of three, decorated in a beautiful vintage paper, which I think was from IndigoBlu many moons ago.
I simply glued the paper onto the coins, and used an emery board to trim off the excess
I added word stickers to each one .....
And finished off with a dot of Liquid Pearl
I also painted around the edge of each one using a gold paint so they do actually look like coins
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your Easter break.
I think it's time for a glass of something chilled and an hour in the sunshine now ....... living the dream!
Cheerio until next time .......
