2019 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers blog hop: day 4 - ctd541

Today for the 
I found a color challenge for my
Artist Trading Coins.


Aren't these colors on the 
perfect for coffee art work?!
So I took out walnut stain and worn lipstick oxide distress inks,
cut some white Artist Training Coins (2,5 inch)
and stamped with these cute
  Newton's Nook Love Coffee clear stamps.
These images are so cute and because they are small,
they are perfect for these artist trading coins.
Just stamp and color!

This one has some pale pink splatters in the background.
The coffee cups are behind onanother, so i had to mask the
first one before stamping the 2nd cup.

For the 3rd coin I used my favorite background technique:
direct to paper. Two colors on the craft sheet, some water and
lift the colors of the craft sheet onto the coin.
Next stamp and color some cups. Cut them out and
add to the Artis Traiding Coin.

Thank you very much for looking
and have a latte creative day!

2019 Spring/ Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Yes, here we are for another week of coffee fun!
Thanks to Amy and her crew we are feasted to some wonderful
coffee inspiration and when participating you can also win
some great coffee goodies.

So for all the fun and information you go here:
I start the hop with a give away!
This Craft Sensations clear stamp set is for one
of you, if you leave a comment to this blogpost.
On Sunday May 12 the winner will be announced..

Now on to the art work.
I have been seeing lots of these Artist Trading coins lately
and i thought it was a fun idea to make some for the  Coffee
Lovers Blog Hop.

What is an ARTIST TRADING COIN you may ask.
It is like the Artist Trading Card (ATC). A  fixed size
and not for sale, can only be obtained by trading.
The fixed size of an artist trading coin is a circle of 2,5 inch
and can be decorated with every kind of craft.


For the first two coins I  used some scraps of paper,
a circle die of 2,5 inch and a backcover to add 
title, name and other info of the coin.

I used the die to make a circle with pencil on the paper
so I know where to add the artwork. 
So I stamped and colored with my Stampin'blends.
Cut everything and added this to the coin.
The lady is out of a package by Tim Holtz.

When everything is in place, the coin is cut.

This is the result.

And here is another one. Behind the cups I also
used some washi tape.
And this is the last one for today.

I wish you a wonderful coffee week and hope 
to see many of you around by visiting all your blogs
or instagram.

And the winner of my stampset is:
