Yes it is me back again, LOL...promise this is my last post of the day...
I was fortunate to win the April/May challenge at Craft My Life:All Crafts Challenge, and was very happy when Elaine, contacted me and asked me to be a GDT for August and September..so here is my 1st Project...this is a NO CARDS challenge.
I bought these Cork Coasters a while back, and thought this was the perfect time to use them. I also bought, some of the Madame Payraud papers, from Mc Oyster Paper Crafts, and found that I did not want to cut them up and cover them up, LOL...Now they take pride of place on my Coffee Table. I hope you like them.
I would like to enter these coasters into the following challenges:-

Coasters
I started off by Covering both sides with Modge Podge, when this dried, I painted the back of the coasters with a Decoart Cinnamon Brown, acrylic paint, so that it looked like Cork again. I then adhered the papers with Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Glue, I then went round the edges of the coasters with Cocoa Dew Drop Ink Pad. Once everything was dry, I applied a coat of Decoart Dura Clear Varnish to both sides.
I would like to enter these coasters into the following challenges:-
