No shrinking violet

Hi all ......
I am having a shrink plastic moment, feel like a kid when it starts squirming lol, this is what I've come up with.
The papers used are from crafty bitz,roughed up and torn a little to give it character.
The sign is shrink plastic cut with a tim holtz hanging sign die, distressed with scattered straw, the word "cafe" was stamped and coloured with promarkers before shrinking, the bracket was distresses with rusty hinge and blk soot.



This lovely woj image coffee 2 go has been coloured in with promarkers The following were used.

Hair satin, sandstone caramel
skin almond blush
dress etc tea green soft green
cup caramel cinnamon



The flower was made using you guessed it shrink plastic... cut with Tin Holtz tattered flower die, coloured with distressed ink scattered straw, the back petal is a piece of vellum cut with the ek retro flower punch and martha stewart edger punch doily.

Hope you liked my creation I certainly had fun doing it..

i have used some pearlized cream card and gorgeous paper i had from sues.the middle panel is the same cream card but has been inked with frayed burlap distress ink to darken it.i have used a martha stewert doily edge punch to soften the edges and then some marianne swirls and prima eline flowers with rose centres.image coloured with promarkers and a wild rose studio sentiment.all products are from crafty urchins apart from the roses which are from my vast stash.lol.

promarkers used are

A horse of course

This is a card made using an Inkadinkado stamp Horses. Its my favourite stamp at the moment.
I am not normally a horsey person but you know when you just look at a stamp and say "mmmm I could use that set in so many different ways". well that was one of those moments....

I will stop rambling on and begin,
Cream pearl card base, 1st layer wood grain card stock distressed with antique linen, scattered straw and just a touch of black soot.
This was then bound with string, next....




The image was stamped onto cream pearl card with black Archival ink , cut with a Marianne Design die, painted with Distressed Crackle paint (rock candy) once dry I swiped it over with scattered straw distress ink just to accentuate the crackles a little.

I stamped the Hero Arts sentiment on cream pearl card distressed the edge slightly with a pair of scissors then applied scattered straw distress ink and added a knot of the string

Just wanted to share
Thanks for looking
Sue
