Hi ya everyone! This month I decided to join the fun at 7 Kids Crafts and make Vintage Coin Artist Trading Cards. I used the adorable new stamp set from Picket Fence Studios called I Wish We Could Hug. You guys, these Koalas are SO cute and they are a bit larger than some stamps so perfect for those A2 size cards. Artist Trading Cards also known as ATC's are a fun way to share your specific style, usually a Mixed Media, on something you trade with other crafty friends. The theme this month is Vintage and Coin (circle 2.5")
I stamped my Koala pair on watercolor paper in Acorn Versafine Clair. I only stamped once to create a more vintage messy look. I water-colored these in Zigs and cut them out. I then inked the edges with the Acorn Ink. For my background, I used a print sheet from my old Sears catalog. I used distress inks with a stencil to create the pattern on the paper. Then adhered the Koalas. Last, I added a postage stamp to the top and Prima Icing Paste with a stencil. I then added some adorable pink lacquer dots to finish.
