Mermaid Artist Trading Coins - Clearsnap


ColorBox Mermaid Pigment Paintbox Artist Trading Coins

Hi! I'm sharing how to use the new ColorBox Mermaid Pigment Paintbox to color, emboss, and embellish a set of chipboard Mermaid Artist Trading Coins for Clearsnap today. The top coat of glitter and clear embossing powder really gives these coins an iridescent shimmer like real ocean waves.

Each mermaid artist trading coin is created with three pieces of stacked chipboard designs. This first coin is made with a solid circle, a laser cut scale circle, and a laser cut mermaid circle. Use an Art Dauber to apply Kismet, Berry, and Papaya Cream Pigment Ink onto the solid chipboard circle. Next, use an Art Dauber to apply Coastal and Glacier Ice Pigment Ink onto the scale circle. Finally, use an Art Dauber to apply Gulfstream Pigment Ink to the mermaid circle. Sprinkle Sapphire Glitter onto the mermaid. Cover all three inked coins with Clear Embossing Powder. Remove the excess powder and apply heat to set. Use hot glue to seal the coins together into a stacked design. Glue pearl ribbon around the edge of the coin.
