Throwback Thursday Challenge - Shrinky Dinks
Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2018 3:14 pm
If you saw my page last week with the ticket charm you might have guessed this was coming. I'm going to blame Marianne a bit for this too; while the thought definitely occurred to me, it wasn't until she mentioned it also that I decided to put it out there. I thought it went hand-in-hand with Pam's stamping challenge this month, but ended up going in a different direction myself.
Have you seen those t-shirts, mugs and bookmarks with 'Advice from a' bird or animal on them? I decided to do a card version. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google can show you plenty of examples; it's also something I plan to try in my naturalist journal.
So the challenge then, is to use your shrink plastic. I've tacked this on the Scrapbooking board just so the TT challenges are all in one place, but any kind of project works. If you don't own any Shrinky Dinks there's lots of DIY information online about recycling various household plastics - even some types of styrofoam work apparently. Here I've used a Tim Holtz Bigz die, coloured with StazOn inks. This might end up being a birthday card, or maybe my Daughter's Day card this year.
