A Few Details:
- I recently purchased some coasters from Papertrey Ink and have great plans for them. They are a great weight for a variety of uses and I see many people using them as a type of ATC. So many ideas, so little time. (Wish I didn't have to have that "real" job...it really gets in the way of my crafting...LOL!) Anyway, I used a coaster here as a mini canvas.
- When creating my version of Tim's technique, I actually used two stamps. First, I stamped the crackled background, then I stamped the large flourish.
- Once both images were stamped in embossing ink, I added clear embossing powder and embossed both images together, creating one unified image.
Paper: PTI coaster, SU! card stock ‘So Saffron’; scrap background papers
Stamps: SU!; Inque ‘Ornaments’
Inks: Top Boss Embossing Ink; Distress Ink ‘Vintage Photo’, ‘Barn Door’, ‘Wild Honey’; Delta acrylic paint ‘Dark Burnt Umber’
Embellishments: metal bee; metal bee skep; paper flowers; K&Co fabric brad; Bobbin Ribbon; TH tissue tape ‘Nostalgic’; clear embossing powder
Tools: TH paper distresser; foam ink blending tool; glue dots; glossy accents; foam make-up applicator; Tombow Monoadhesive; emery board; heat gun; 3M Super77 spray adhesive
Great coaster! Have to decide what to do with mine.
