What have you done today to Beat Michigan? Kecia Waters on the blog today with a coaster I made in preparation for Saturday's Big Game. Did you know that it was the Emerald Backdrop Die Set and the "Ohio Game Day" stamp set that made me a A Jillian Vance Design fan?
To make this coaster, I used the AJVD Emerald Backdrop Die Set to cut a "Block O" from red cardstock. I then stamped the O shaped background stamp from the AJVD "Ohio Game Day" stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black. I edged the "Block O" with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. Using the leaf die from the AJVD Emerald Backdrop Die Set I cut three leaves from a patterned paper scrap from American Crafts. The "buckeye" was hand-drawn with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker onto X-Press it cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I assembled the "Block O" and adhered it to a square of gray plaid paper framed with patterned paper from K&Company. The sentiment from the "Ohio Game Day" stamp set was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.
I sprayed my design with Workable Fixative because I read somewhere that this helps keep the colors vibrant during this process.
Then, using a 16 cents ceramic tile from Home Depot, I spread Artsy Collage
Decoupage gel with a foam brush onto the tile and adhered my square
creation. I then took the same brush and applied more gel on top of the
image, smoothing out the bubbles as best as I could. I allowed the
coaster to dry overnight.
Upon waking the next day, I sprayed an acrylic glossy sealer to waterproof my coaster. I affixed felt to the bottom of the coaster to prevent scratches on table services.
