A bit of shrinky


Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts, our host this week is Tracy and her theme is 'Anything but a card with an A/G option'. This weeks winner will receive a stamp from Chocolate Baroque who will be on Hochanda today at 11am and 3pm, do tune in for lots of inspiration from Lesley.

So a couple of floral wreaths for my non card creation, the above a recent Chocolate Baroque Hochanda make, lots of flowers from the show stamped onto shrink plastic cut out, coloured on the back and shrunk down to arrange around a heart shaped rattan frame.


This was also a Hochanda make but this time for Stamp Addicts, the Judikins Sunflowers stamped onto card, cut out and coloured with Oxides, arranged around a circle rattan frame, die cut wheat, a sentiment across the centre and a little Bee stamped onto acetate.

Really beautiful Brenda and so creative! I have some shrink plastic somewhere in my stash as well, might have to dig it out and make something! Yes, Hochanda worked on my Roku and I'm so excited. I may learn a few new techniques I always admire!

How lovely to see you make something other than a card. These are both great, love the colours. I have never used shrink plastic, I love how it makes the flowers look luminous xx

Wow!! I tuoi fiori di plastica sono spettacolari, Brenda! Io ho qualche foglio per la shrink plastic, l'anno scorso ho provato, ma il mio tentativo non è stato un granchè. Entrambe le ghirlande sono molto belle! La seconda è così solare!
Un abbraccio, spero che tutto sia ok!

Love your wreaths, Brenda! The second one especially appeals to me--beautiful crafting! I need to pull out my old JudiKins stamps which I haven't thought about in ages!

What a great idea, both fabulous but I love the translucent effect you get with the shrink plastic - something I haven't used for a while, thanks for the inspiration.
