Shrink Twinchie

Good Afternoon to all my crafty pals. Thank you all for your lovely comments, you had me singing along to my backing paper. Well I'm lying low today as OH and daughter are moving furniture and I wouldn't want to be in the way so I puzzled over what to play with. and my crafty pal Jenny  had the answer - http://cardsarus.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/its-twinchie-time-again.html , well I cut a piece of card 2 inches square and I picked myself off the floor from the shock of how small it was (you have all got to try this) and thought waw Jenny.
Ok so I put a bit of a twist on it and out came the shrink plastic (I know but a little bit of cheating never hurt - lol) , I just love shrink plastic and when you add dies into the mix well what can I say. Hope it brings you all a smile.


Paper and card - card is a 2 inch square piece of pearlescent,
coloured the sky with an inkpad and promarker,
Dies used – Memory Box Wrought Iron fence & Country Landscape
and Marianne Reindeer used on shrink plastic and coloured with sakura and promarker pens.

I am entering this into the challenge if it meets the traditional colour requirement

  1. Brilliant Flora. I am in awe of anybody who can do this with only just 2 inches! And what's all this about cheating? I'm sure there is no rule to say you can't make your embellies smaller to fit the space! Now all you have to do is enter it in the challenge!! Love from Christine x

  23. Hi Flora - I think I am to blame for setting Jenny off with the Twinchies - I did say that they are addictive and they are!! I love your Twinchie - it's brilliant and I had thought about using a little Shrink Plastic this month - but I'm doing something else instead. This is definitely not cheating - you can use anything. I usually make cards out of my finished ones, they look quite nice as CAS cards.

    Thank you for becoming one of my followers - I have reciprocated the compliment - especially after checking out your lovely creations.

    Big hugs to you Sue Pxxx
