Supplies:

FSSK-2pa - Pagliacci, Faerie Song Art Stamps
Aluminum Craft Metal
StazOn Jet Black Ink
Metal Tools (I used ones from TENseconds Studios)
Foam Mats
Acrylic Mat
Texture Molds
Ranger Alcohol Inks, Wild Plum and Butterscotch
Ranger Alcohol Ink Applicator and felt
Chipboard
Pin Back
Red Liner Tape (like Tacky Tape)
Sanding Block
Scissors


Instructions:

1. Stamp Pagliacci onto the metal using StazOn ink.
2. Place the image onto a thin foam mat and trace the stamped lines using a pointed teflon tipped tool or stylus.
3. After tracing all of the lines, turn the metal over and place onto an acrylic mat.
4. Trace on the outside and inside of each raised line to make it stand out with more detail.
5. Place the refined metal on top of a texture plate and rub with a rounded tipped stylus in the hat areas of the image.
6. Use the pointed tip stylus to get more detail to the texture, if needed.
7. When the image is detailed to your satisfaction, place it on a flat surface for coloring.
8. Apply a piece of felt to the applicator tool and add the alcohol inks to the felt.
9. Pounce on the metal image until the color coverage is to your liking. Use Blending Solution if needed.
10. Apply the red liner tape to the back of the metal and adhere to a piece of chipboard.
11. Trim around the image using scissors.
12. Using the sanding block, remove all the sharp edges and corners as needed.
13. Apply more alcohol ink if desired.
14. Add the pin back and you're done!

Have fun making your own colorful metal pins!
