Morning readers,
How's your week doing?... mine's coming along just fine ..... been at the ToC, with mixed results (see below) but I've an Artist Trading Coin to share with you ....
Materials used:
Truthfully, they don't look too bad, side by side!, do they? Of course, I might never have stencilled and foiled version II if version I hadn't gone wrong and I really like the subtle effect of those extra touches.
Curious about glue stick foiling? Then check out Sara Naumann's video below

| My Artist Trading Coin |
- Snippets of card in DCWV pearlised red and white
- On a white snippet I stamped the image (Paper Artsy ZA19) using Memento tuxedo black ink
- Alcohol markers and glitter gel pens used to colour
- Anita's dimensional gloss applied to eyes and nose and set aside to dry (FOR HOURS AND HOURS - I so wish they would invent a quick dry version) before die cutting in to my faux stitched circle using an unbranded die, I used a plain circle (unknown manufacturer because I've had it so long the packaging is LONG gone!) for my red/white/label layer
- Stardust stickles to further bling up my Artist Trading Coin
- I felt it still needed something so ..... I applied Memento London fog ink through the music stencil (from Tim Holtz mini layering stencil set #20) and then a glue stick through the Memory Box stencil (88568) after which I applied silver foil and set aside to dry ... again, this ATCoin took AGES to make!!!

Also ...... got asked to make a graduation card for a U.S. teenager (female) .... hmm. I don't have a whole lot of graduation related images so ..... what to do. Any suggestions peeps? I'll be having a go at this perhaps at the weekend ....

Morning Kathy
Well, I, for one, would be perfectly happy to receive either of the Rudolph AT Coins you're showing here. It's the look on his face that just cracks me up . . . I don't think I'd notice the slightly less glossy nose!
As to a graduation card . . . I would head straight to Pinterest!
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Fabulous ATC coins would be perfectly happy to receive either --handmade is not mass produced perfection that's what makes it more personal

That Rudolph image is really fun Kathy and the slightly bruised nose on the first one just adds to his charm I think. The added background detail and bit of gilding certainly makes the second even nicer too. TFS the video tutorial which I watched and will give that a try I think. I have tried the WOW Bonding Powder which you apply with Versamark and then heat to make it sticky, quickly apply the foil on to and leave to cool before removing, but I haven't had much success with it yet, but have only tried a couple of times I must admit. It may be that I am too impatient and lift the foil too quickly..lol. x
What a brilliant image and two really great coins. They really look as if they are giving someone the nod to look at something funny, well they do to me.
