Baking Charms and Tag

The theme over at Tag Tuesday is: Baking ... something very close to my heart (lol). When I set out to create the tag, I could not really decide what to do - there is too much choice. But then I remembered Terry's fantastic Shrink Plastic tutorial over at Frillie and Funkie and thought it would be quite good fun to make some baking charms

 

I had  not played with Shrink Plastic for quite a long time and had forgotten about all the pitfalls especially when using the heat gun! For the little cupcakes I stamped the images (Hero Arts) with Archival ink on the plastic, cut them out and coloured them with Koh-i-noor pencils and then punched a hole. For the baking label I cut a shape with Nestabilities and inked the shape with distress ink (Antique Linen) using a soft brush. Then I stamped the label (Waltzing Mouse) with Versamark Magic on the plastic. Once the ink was dry, I did a spot of colouring using the colouring pencils.

I am always so amazed how much images shrink ... the label is about 3cm in height, the cupcakes about 1 cm - they are tiny. One of them I used to make a very simple tag using the baking label stamp, layering the label on Bazill card and embellishing it with some paper flower, pearl and some ribbon - have a lovely evening, Petra.
