Artist Trading Coins

Hi today I am sharing some Artist Trading Coins I made for UK Stampers a FB forum swap.The coins were cut with a Creative Dies scalloped die from thick card,the two purple ones were offcuts from another project with smooshed distress ink.The pale one was copy paper used for stamping off instead of cleaning stamps-the script stamp was a craft mag freebie,and the sctual sentiment stamps were from Crafters Companion.
