Default What to do with BLACK poly shrink?

I just bought the poly shrink assortment. Now, what do I do with the black sheets? I need ideas, I can't think of anything to do with them.

Black is the BEST! I've used Gold Encore Ink and stamped a tiger on one, a German Shepherd Dog on another. They look absolutely gorgeous when finished.

I haven't done this, but have seen a bracelet with the black polyshrink and they used white craft ink. I think you can also somehow use pearlEx on the black polyshrink. Not sure how though. I would be interested in what other have one and if anyone has used pearlex on it.

I made a charm for my husband's V-day mini-book using the black polyshrink and the white craft pad. I used the Soft Swirls BG stamp and let the ink dry over night. Then I just cut out few random shapes and shrunk them. One reminder: poke the hole BEFORE you shrink it.

The white ink creats a raised image on the polyshrink; it turned out really cool.

How do you get the ink to dry? Do you need to seal it somehow?

Make some mini buckles to use with black & white gingham ribbon.

I used my sizzix with the buckle die cut & they turned out fab

For Halloween cut out some bats to hang as charms on the card. Where did you find this black anyway?

SU used to have it in its assortment. Don't know where you can purchase now - maybe H.L.

Default I made some Disney pages by

punching out the mouse ears & then shrinking them out of the black. They came out really cute!
