Artists trading coins at Countryview Crafts

Hello there! And a happy 1st November to you! I do hope you are feeling fine and happy and not to stressed with the way time seems to be accelerating towards the end of the year! Yikes! There is a new challenge at Countryview challenges today - the theme is artists trading coins... I have been  making these for a few months now and really have enjoyed this challenge. I decided to make 4 for today's post.... I used stamps from allandcreate ....a6-stamp-set-44 and also one of the A4 stamp sets too.

I started by painting my coins with distress crackle paints in 4 autumnal colours - I left these to dry.


Next I inked up various parts of one of the A4 stamp sets and pressed my coins into these areas.


Finally I added stamped images from set 44 along with words from this set.

I do hope you feel inspired to play along! Please checkout my teamies work and enter the challenge here

Big hugs

Rachel x
