Celebrating Creativity

Hi crafty friends!  Leigh Ann here today for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts, bringing you an artist trading coaster celebrating creativity. 

I started my coaster by giving it a messy coat of Paper Texture Paste by Prima.  I used a pallet knife to achieve this look. 

I grabbed this old ship tag from my stash, inked the edges and glued it to the coaster. I thought the ship went along with my creativity and inventions theme. 

I embossed this chipboard light bulb with black powder and then used vintage gold wax on the inside filaments.

I attached the light bulb first and then also added this metal phone that I had in my stash. 

My next step was to add some Tim Holtz gears and art stones for texture because I put art stones on just about everything!  I finished the coaster by cutting this "create" sticker into two pieces, inking the edges, and popping it up with foam squares. 

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and tribute to creativity of the past.  I used the following Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts products on this project:
