Lovin Craft Stamper

Gesso over the background gives some depth - i like the results!

Shrink Plastic Tiles

I did the Tim Holtz tutorial on making tiles with shrink plastic in the UTEE melting pot, then colored them with alcohol inks. Was great fun - alto i couldnt seem to avoid bubbles!

alcohol inks and fragments

i used alcohol ink right on the fragment and then used archival ink to stamp a design and immediately rub it off to leave a resist look. I love the stained glass effect and the color mixture. These make great pendants! FUN!

Xmas card making is fun!

i had fun doing this card from the recent card making mag!! I used my little mouse stamp and glossy accents. On the front in the corner i have a push button to play "twinkle little star". LOVED making these - but they took VERY VERY long! lol.

Gift Card and Bon Bon Displays!

It was so much fun making these stands to hold "gift tags", Brooches, or any little sales items!!! I love them!
