Country View Crafts Challenges - Under The Sea.... and a giveaway!

I hope you have been enjoying the inspiration from the design team this month.

Here is my second project for the challenge:


For my second challenge I chose to make artist trading coins.

For this I created a distress ink masterboard.  I used a wrinkle free distress ink technique for this.  I then set about using stencils and adding micro glaze to add more effect and depth.

Once happy, I ensured the masterboard was dry before adding stamping in Archival ink.


I coloured a second panel of card using the wrinkle free distress method.  I then stamped the PaperArtsy ScrapCosy stamps using Archival ink and cut them out.


I then started to mount the fish onto the coins.


To finish, I added an Ideology word and created a scribbled border.


So.… the giveaway!  I thought it might be quite nice to pass these coins to three people (one each).  To be in with a chance of this, please leave a comment on this blog post.  The giveaway will run for the rest of the month and the draw will take place on 1st October. Good luck!

I hope that you join in with the challenge over on teh Challenge blog.  Don't forget that there is a £20 gift voucher up for grabs.

Happy crafting!
Miriam
