It's bank holiday Sunday and I hope you are all enjoying some relaxing down time. We enjoyed visiting our family at the South Coast yesterday and with the recent rain everywhere is greening up nicely and the May is fully out.
It's time for my second post for Country View. Our May theme is "Opposites". If you would like to see my Visible/Invisible card I made for 1st May you can see it here
You can enter our May challenge as many times as you like and combine with other challenges. There is also a £20 crafting voucher up for grabs to the lucky randomly selected winner to spend over on the Country View Crafts on line store. Remember that UK postage and packing is absolutely FREE! All the details for the challenge can be found here.
This time I went for the opposite words Little/Large as I had an idea to use my shrink plastic with my sweet Visible Image Tin man stamp set, part of the brilliant Oz collection. Susan sells both the Tin Man stamp set and the coordinating dies on the website.
First I stamped him onto my Shrink plastic and coloured him with pencils and then die cut him out
Then I stamped him onto silver card. Here they both are pre shrinking.
And how cute does he look shrunk!
I also shrunk his oil can and heart too for extra embellishments.
I made a distress oxide background, added some stamping using stamps from Ahead of our time and the sentiment from the Tin Man set.
