Artist Trading Coins with Magda Polakow

Welcome to the Topflight Stamps Blog, It's Clare with you today and I've been experimenting with Artist Trading coins.

To top my coins I used these cute little characters from Magda Polakow set Mama Bear.

I coloured them in using Neocolour II crayons and added in some shading with coloured pencils.

The backgrounds were made from a masterboard using stamps from Paperartsy - Tracy Scott stamps.

Mamma Bear was stamped directly onto the coin, masked off, background stamping added before colouring in.

The two baby bears were coloured in and glued onto the coins, I then added some doodles to the coins in white and black paint pens.

Lots of people make there own coins out of multiple die cut circles.  The coins I've used are made from MDF and so they are very sturdy.  

Remember to pop over to the Topflight store and check out the ever growing range of stamps.

Happy Crafting,

Clare.
