A set of three Artist Trading Coins made for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum ......

The based were die-cut to 2.5 ins in diameter. I then die-cut three more circles from brown Kraft paper. these were stamped with a pine frond stamp (IndigoBlu) in dark green Versafine Clair ink. I then took a holly stamp (IndigoBlu) and stamped centrally in Versamark ink, heat embossing with gold embossing powder.

The outlines of the holly leaves were filled in with green Acrylograph pen and the berries with red Posca pen. The berries were treated with Glossy Accents to add dimension and shine.

The fronts were added to the bases and each Coin was edged with brown chalk ink to finish .....
