Hello Monday my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Transport It Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week the challenge is: WE CAN SEE CLEARLY
I'm still thinking mermaids this week, and decided to try making a charm with mermaid tails. I am trying out Simon Says Stamp's Shrink Sheets and I must admit I am not very adept at working with shrink stuff, but here we go...
i began by stamping and coloring with alcohol markers. I didn't want to put down too much color or it gets very dark in my experience .
Next step is to cut out the mermaid tails and keep all the edges smooth. I punched a hole in the top section too.
The tweezers worked great to hold the plastic while I was heating the piece. I wanted to show that I always seen to end up with pieces that work, and ones that don't. My advice is to make several and then hopefully you end wup with the number you want.
I put the tails on jump rings and added a WISH stick also to the hook clasp.
The light coming through shows all my mistakes, lol!
In my collection of oddities, I have this crab shell I've had for years, and it seemed like the perfect prop.
Mermaid Wishes...
