My First Skinny

I finally gave in and decided to have a go at making a Skinny. Lesley is to blame for introducing the idea into my head and she has some fab ones on her blog. The link is to be found down the left hand side. A Skinny needs to be 5"x3". Bit like an ATC but more room to decorate. I have used Adirondack ink pads in Cranberry and Butterscotch to colour the piece of card, blended with a wet baby wipe. I then stamped in black staz-on onto white shrink plastic and stuck it in the oven to shrink. I can never manage it with the heat gun, it sticks to itself every time!
The main image is from Lost Coast Designs and the others are from Cherry Pie Art. I then fixed all the pieces of shrink plastic onto the Skinny using sticky-dots. I wanted to use silicone glue but has run out. Finally a couple of little Primas and it was done. I am sending it to a friend and I hope she likes it. Thank you Lesley for another crafty addiction....I think?

Funky Fairy challenge

Can't believe I managed all these challenges today. I am back to work tomorrow after taking time off to nurse my little boy after his tonsils were removed. As a result I have not had much crafty time over the last week. He is much better today so I got time to play.
The Funky Fairy challenge this week was to use stamping for your card. The only exception wasthe allowance of paper/card for matting and layering.
I took an A5 cream balnk and stamped all over it in Versafine Sepia ink using my new Stampendous background cube. Using the same ink pad I stamped a wonderful image from Lost Coast Designs and edged it with gold Krylon pen. I cut a mat from brown Bazzill cardstock and matted the image onto it. This was then mounted onto the card with foam pads. A smaller piece of brown Bazzill was used for the greeting. Hope I was allowed a peel-off?
