A nice idea.. Now I know hiw I can use all my colired circles......Thanks for this video

[@DeniseLush]

you're very welcome

[@Miastrong930]

Super thanks for sharing. I have never done this exactly. Since I like the distress oxide I bought color sets of the drinking bottles and I find it is perfect for this technique just smear it on the plastic.

[@DeniseLush]

Yes. I don't think the sprays existed when I did this. If they did, I didn't own any at the time! Thank you.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Denise, I’ve watched this before, but I really really love 💕 these coins their so stunning and gorgeous and whimsical too. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@DeniseLush]

awww thanks you Mags. You know I haven't made any coins since! I keep saying I should, but never do!

[@scrapstampcreate]

Love these, that "dear" though is the best.

[@DeniseLush]

Thanks! It may be time to make some more. I haven't done any since!!!

[@robindudleyhowes]

These are so cool!

[@DeniseLush]

thank you!

[@jnordfors]

Never heard of Artist Trading Coins! Oh dear, a new obsession for me! Shhh, don’t tell the hubby! These are wonderful. Off to Amazon to order Art Foamies. Also love the background music.

[@DeniseLush]

LOL It's so bad trying to stay away from new obsessions, isn't it. Thank you!!! Have fun!

[@JoanneOwens1943]

You’ve been oxide mad for quite some time! Loving this too! 😍

[@DeniseLush]

The smoosh technique that I do in this video is what finally made me fall in love with the oxides. Didn't really care for them before then! In a class I taught they called it 'the Lush Smoosh' lol

[@kelleyfreeman401]

These are so fun. Love all the wonky images! Thanks for sharing.

[@DeniseLush]

thanks so much!

[@SammiJarrad]

[@DeniseLush]

Glad you enjoyed it! I really do need to make some more. lol They're cute.

[@maramakesjournals2319]

I really enjoyed watching you choose elements for your circle collages/ATC cards. I liked the urn and flowers/berries so much I’m going to try more of that in what I make. I also liked the dear deer. 🤪 Thanks!

Hey Denise, they are great. Love the wite ink. What do you do with them and can you tell me what the music is, the guy with the guitar playing like a bird on a tree?? thank you in advance!!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you. I just made them for fun. I have a container that I decorated to hold ATCoins, here's a link to that video if you're interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJWkZ4Ouo7yGkLM The song is from my editing software, it is called You and Me by Eldar Kedem

[@dckn8767]

Love your videos, so fun to watch! Where do you get those transfer/stickers?

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you so much. They're rub on's and I have had them for years and years. I know rub on's still exist by different companies. Just search rub on's. I know Tim Holtz has a pack or two. I'm sure scrapbooking companies must still have them.

[@dckn8767]

@@DeniseLush thanks

[@pippipants]

These are such fun ! The stitching made them extra special Will have a go, got a lot of gelli prints waiting for a new life lol Loved the sound track in your video too. Who is it?

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you! I love adding stitching to projects! The music is just what's available through my editing software that I use.

[@pippipants]

@@DeniseLush Thanks

[@gardenglory6624]

this music is nice, Who is singing the song in the beginning of the video? good art work

Thanks That's music that just from my editing software. It's Ron Raffel - April.

[@peggyprose]

I want to buy ArtFoamies but cannot find them!! Your link doesn't work. Any suggestions? Sooo frustrating!!

[@DeniseLush]

Sorry for your frustration. Here's a link from the Art Foamies website that shows where to buy them near you: www.artfoamies.com/find-a-store-near-you.html I think they're going through some changes or something. I found they had an etsy shop but when I tried to check it out for you it said they're moving and to check their website. I'm no longer a part of their design team so I don't know too much about them. The ones I have I received when I was on the team. I know Joggles carries some foam stamps. they're not art foamie brand but it's the exact same idea.

[@dr.amyanna9235]

Did anyone see the size of the circles? I love 💕 them!

[@DeniseLush]

thank you. They are 2 1/2"
