TGF Farmerz Challenge

Image
I had so much fun participating in the Shrinky Dink challenge issued by the TGF Farmerz Club by Funkie Munkie Scraps. I won by default because no one else entered and can't wait to see what the challenge will be for the next month!! So , how did I make this cute little card? It's actually relatively simple! I had to play around with the Shrinky Dinks to find the right combination for my coloring and my oven. I used Jet Black Staz On ink and my Prismacolor Watercolor pencils.

The bride/groom stamp is by Stamptivity out of the UK. Their stamps are wonderful and really great in quality! The circle sentiment is by Just Rite Stamps . The set is the Wedding Stamp Ensemble. Th
