Day 5 Growing in Unity- ATC coins

Welcome to my last day of Growing in Unity.

I started today's project with this monoprint.

 I love the color and movement of the circles on this print.. 

I have been saying to myself, "One of these days I will make an ATC coin" Well today was that day. An ATC or Artist Trading Card coin is a circle that is 2.5". I die cut mine out of the monoprint.

I stamped without masking the clock and flowers from these sets:

Unity Notice Moments

and

Unity Everyday Fairytale

It didn't matter to me that the hands of the clock were off center on all the coins. I think it adds more interest that way.

I painted the flowers and leaves with white acrylic paint.

I watercolored the flowers and the leaves. I added white highlights with a white gel pen. I outlined the flowers with a black ink pen.

Unity Here today Here tomorrow

I stamped the butterfly several times onto white cardstock. I then watercolored them. The following photos show how I paint them to get a realistic look. I start with yellow add orange and then red and then I sprayed them with water to let the colors blend. 

I outlined the coins with black ink. I added white highlights to the flowers and clock hand with a white gel pen. I also added splatters with gold metallic paint.  I put a rhinestone on clock hands.

I also added glitter to centers of the flowers.

Coin #2

Coin #3

Coin #4

I die cut 4 more circles and stamped this bible scripture on them. I also signed and dated them with MM for Mississippi McGyver.

Well that concludes my projects for Growing in Unity. Make sure you leave a comment. I will be picking winners from the comments on Monday 7/29/19.
