Mini canvas

Good afternoon all, 

Hope your afternoon is going well. 

It is such a lovely day today but oh my goodness , it is so windy. 

I think we are in for rain tomorrow , mind you 

the gardens do need it. 

Today I am  sharing a mini canvas with you. 

I love making these. 

I have used some shrink plastic too, now you know how I love that stuff. 

I started by stamping the thistle stamp from Tracy on to the shrink plastic. It is best to use a staz-on ink for this. 

Next I added some colour with pencils, cut a tag shape and then heated with my heat tool. 

Remember the colour will intensify when the design shrinks 

Look at the size difference. 

I usually flatten the end result using an acrylic block but I loved the uneven edges to this. 

I painted the 

 mini canvas with acrylic paint and when dry added some stamping 

I love the little details in designs, so here I added some bakers twine.

I thought it would be a nice idea to stamp directly onto the easel too, 

I was so pleased with this design, and it was lovely to see it on HOCHANDA too, 

Hopefully it reminds you about projects using shrink plastic as I do think it is one of those things that some crafters forget about. 

Thanks for joining me. 

Have a lovely weekend, 

Whatever you do, 

I think we may go out for a picnic on Sunday 

Karl, Eric and me...in our garden 

Don’t need to go anywhere else..

Take care all

Much love and hugs
