Hi Everyone, Jess here with an Alice themed tag.   I had this fairy stamp from  Fairie Song Stamps  and I wanted to use just the mushrooms.  I used my Staz On ink to stamp the mushrooms onto shrink plastic.   Once the ink was dry I colored in my images using colored pencils.  I poked holes in the top of the mushrooms, but didn't end up using the holes. I used my heat gun to shrink the images and set them aside.  Notice how intense the colors are!

To make my background I used a dye ink and stencil.  Once I had the entire tag covered I shifted the image and covered up what I had just inked leaving the manila exposed.  I used a second ink color and then my whole tag was covered! It's a super easy way...

I edged with silver foil tape and laced with sparkly orange and black fibers. I topped off with a large sparkly orange bead. Now I have an adorable necklace with vintage flair ready to wear for Halloween. The size of my shrunken charm is abou...

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday !! I love rubber stamps , and thought I would share some things you can do with them ! This Dressform stamp is a favorite ! The above photo is the stamp used on Shrink Film , I just used Stazon ink and left it plain because I wanted a black and white theme , I think it makes the "junk" necklace fun ! You can also use the shrink film for embellishments on a card, tag or scrapbook page ! Your imagination can soar !! For card makers , it is perfect , I used a die from Altered Pages , stamped the image and used copic markers for color and then distressed with inks and  blending tool  ! A ribbon added for some texture ! Last project is a collage, can be for a journal or just an art collage ! Stamped my image and added papers and embellishments. I have to stop myself sometimes or I keep going ! For the above I also used the Punchinella , for background !If you dont have any , you should , it can be used over and over and on so ...
