I got these amazing digi files of mandalas a while ago and have been dying to use them, so when I had the opportunity to work with Mod Podge I knew i had to crate something with them.
I started with some gold plastic coins my kids got as a fun little party favor, and decoupaged the printed digi files to the coins on both sides. Here is a video on how I made these fun art tokens.
I cut the images out and used the Matte and Glossy Mod Podge to glue and seal the digi papers to the plastic coins. It worked like a charm. I did both sides, and one side I left plain, and they look amazing.
The digi files were a perfect fit for size of the coins, and the Mod Podge took care of the rest!
One the other size of the coin I added little dots of paint from various brands of 3D paint such as Nuvo drops, Liquid Pearls, and Scribbles. I went with the colors of the mandalas to make them fun!
The rings of extra color really help make these token pop!
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out all the fun!!

Ever wonder how easy it is to get a water color look on paper without the fuss of using watercolor paints? Check out how using Derwent Academy Water Soluble Markers and Marker Paper pad to make Christmas Cards and Snowflake Ornaments.
Various companies provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own.
Here is the video to learn how fun this watercolor technique is and how to make these fun snowflakes.
The laminated paper repels the marker and the water help add some more liquid to the color to help transfer it to the Derwent Academy Marker Paper Pad. This paper held the color wonderfully and it made a really cool watercolor effect.
Change up the colors of the makers to get some really cool effects on the papers!
I used the first batch of solid color watercolor backgrounds to make some Christmas cards with a calligraphy JOY using the Derwent Academy Twin-Tip Markers on the brush side of the pen, but I am super new to calligraphy and they just did not look quite right. I am not going to throw them away, but it got me to thinking of what else I could possibly make the watercolor paper I had just made.
So I dug into my dies and found this really cool snowflake die set that can be made into ornaments. So off I went to make some foil and watercolor ornaments in a variety of colors! The first one used the blue and green watercolor paper which I die cut into a small snowflake and then outlines with the blue and green makers and paired with Rinea foiled papers in silver and Tonic Nuvo Drops accents.
I repeated the same idea of a snowflake as above but this time with the purple and red watercolor background. I used a purple marker to accent the snowflake and a red maker to stamp the in the back and paired it with more Tonic Nuvo drops and Copper Rinea Foiled paper.
For the next batch of snowflakes I did not add the stamp to the back, and this time I used the watercolor paper in the middle of the snowflake cutting and pairing it with different colors of Rinea Foiled paper in lavender and turquoise.
There are so many other fun idea you can make with this easy background watercolor paper using Derwent Markers, these are just a few for the holiday season! What will you make with your watercolor paper?
