I like how polyshrink makes the images so much smaller giving you a way to use them in a different way. This cardinal looks so much better in person...it's just too dark in the scan to see it clearly.
I used white craft ink (last week's challenge) to get a nice distressing look on the edges and also makes me think of winter.

Beautiful card, and the Cardinal looks terrific like this! Thanks for sharing such a great idea! Did you color with the regular SU! markers? I didn't think they worked on polyshrink. Did you color before or after shrinking? TFS. Linda

I colored with the SU markers on the back rough side of the plastic and stamped with Stazon on the front smooth side. I did use Shrinky-Dink make shrink plastic so I don't know if this makes a difference?

I have the same ?'s as labullard. Also I have always used Stazon Ink, but have wanted to try classic inks. So is the entire white piece with the stamped cardinal polyshrink? Thanks for another fun challenge, Nancy

This is a very neat card and now I know what I can do with the beige color ployshrink I bought. I love all the challenges for ideas and thanks again for sharing your time and talent!
