Oh The Fun Of Shrink Plastic

Howdy Inky Friends.

Yesterday I sat down to play with Terry’s Tips on Shrink Plastic,

I was so surprised when my bird cage came out of the toaster oven

that I had to make a card to show you.

You can find more detailed information on

Frilly and Funkie Blog.

I used Tim Holtz Alterations Caged Bird die, some Alcohol Inks

(Colors Caramel, Denim and Pearl) then over stamped with Versa Magic Chalk inks in Black and White.

Stamps used are from Hero Arts and Amuse Studio’s.

The verse “Keep A Green Bough”, is from Oxford Impression, but was far to large to work with the card, so I printed it out using the computer.

Here’s Wishing you A Play Full Sunday, try that Shrink Plastic.

Thanks for poping in for a visit.

A Day at The Beach

Had some free time to try out a new graphic card.

This is a painting from

Edward Henry Potthast (1857-1927), and a free download from

It's About Time Parasols.

I added some script writing from The Graphic Fairy to the background, making this card.

The small boat was stamped with Versafine and colored with

Prismacolors.

Boat from Arts Impressions and Birds and Sail boat from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Thank you for spending your morning with me.

Have a wonderful week-end.

Greetings Ladies.

The Farmers have returned home.

We had a wonderful trip or vacation and it’s good to be home again.

Only used one stamp and that’s from Great Impressions.
