A Look Like a Shiny Coin — Isolde Thorne & the Fate-Mark She Can't Hide | Romantasy Collection
Note from Tracy: This post is a beloved part of my crafty archives! While FabScraps has sadly closed its doors, I’ve kept this post live to celebrate the incredible artistry of the design team and to keep these Artist Trading Coin (ATC) ideas available for your inspiration.the entire sheet. You can use a 2.5-inch hole punch or a die (like I did).
As many of you remember, we’ve tackled many paper challenges together—from inchies and moos to the classic Artist Trading Card. But the ATC (Artist Trading Coin) remains one of my favorite formats for stretching creativity in a small space!
WARNING: Making these 2.5-inch mini masterpieces is highly addictive!
To create these coins, I used a cover-weight cardstock base and colored them with Distress Oxides, finishing with archival black ink stamps. Using vintage-inspired papers and a 2-inch circle die, I layered the designs, adding faux stitching with a brown fine-tip marker and a few adhesive gems for sparkle. A small angel charm served as the perfect final touch.
