Black and White



I love black and white - silhouettes - black and white papers -black and white pencil drawings I love them all. So naturally I really wanted to take part in the challenge on http://artygirlzchallengeblog.blogspot.com/. The challenge was to make a card, do a scrapbooking layout, Altered Art or anything else that took your fancy as long as it was in Black and White.


Well I decided to get out my shrink plastic and use my wonderful carnival mask stamp to work on the black and white theme. I really wanted to use the two masks on one card but the two plastics shrunk at a different rate and the black mask ended up quite a bit smaller. Hmmm worth remembering!!!

After shrinking and flattening the plastic I quickly (yes I did burn my fingers) wrapped it round a small bottle to get the curved effect. There is a lot of silicone glue holding those masks on -but they do seem to be holding firm.

What a lovely pair of cards Ann. I love black and white too and I adore the mask stamp which I have too.

Love both of these but this is my favourite stamp as you probably know. You should have entered this for my shrink plastic challenge last week.
