I recently shared my first experiments with Artist Trading Coins.

Todays post revisits that concept and shares a different design.

This particular ATC uses free stamps from Creative Stamping magazine and those Tim Holtz sentiment stickers that I am so fond off when working on ATCs or, ATCs. Yep, they both abbreviate to the same thing.

Anyhoo, here is this week’s ATC.

A joy to behold and a sentiment to live by.

Here is what was used.

• 1mm Greyboard,
• White Gesso,
• Pebeo Watercolour Inks,
• Black Archival Inkpad,
• Tim Holtz Small Talk Stickers,
• Mod Podge Dimensional Magic,
• Resin Crystals,
• Tacky Glue,

And here is how it was made.

1. I first cut two 2.5 inch circles from the greyboard and glued them together with the tacky glue.
2. A coat of white gesso was then applied and allowed to dry.
3. Water was then spritzed on top and a drop of watercolour ink placed in the middle and allowed to spread and dry.
4. I then stamped the butterfly onto the ATC.
5. A layer of Dimensional Magic was applied to the butterfly and allowed to dry.
6. Water was then spritzed onto the ATC and some of the colour dabbed away with a tissue.
7. The sentiment stickers were then glued in place and given a layer of Dimensional Magic.
8. The resin crystals were then glued in place.

Done!

Nice, innit?!
