A Coaster

Continuing with my attempts to settle into my new room I decided I needed a pretty coaster for my desk. I had an old freebie cardboard coaster tucked away that was one of those things that get sent by charities and decided this would be a suitable base. I used my Distress Oxides - I only had 4 at the time - wilted violet, twisted citron, spiced marmalade and broken china. Thanks to a trip to Ally Pally on Sunday I now have 3 more  ;) . I used a blending tool to rub some of each colour onto a scrap of green marbled paper and then spritzed with water . When dry I used one of my Stamps by Me sets with my Stamp Buddy, Stazon black and picked raspberry DI. Having chosen the part I wanted on the coaster I cut it out and rounded the corners.

 

I'm waiting for some matt spray varnish to arrive to seal the surface before I stick a piece of spongy carpet underlay underneath and use it on my desk with my beverage of choice.
