Good morning everyone!
Today starts a new challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond and this time we would like you to create a card or project with Shrink Plastic.
I've only used shrink plastic one other time so I wasn't sure what I was going to do but after looking online I decided to make a pair of fun earrings! I cut a couple of circles out of the plastic, punched a small hole in each for the jump ring and then stamped them with the awesome Kaleidoscope background stamp from Simon Says Stamp. 
I also made a card with the same background stamp... the painted 'thanks' die is from Simon Says Stamp and the Fishtail banner is from My Favorite Things.
Here's a close up of the earrings... I haven't made any jewelry in such a long time and felt a bit rusty especially with the wire wrapping but I think overall they turned out pretty cute!
Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog to check out the rest of the teams beautiful creations!

Simply lovely card in black and white Tammy and those earings are stunning. I have never used shrink plastic - seem to be one of those elements that went out of vogue. So glad you showed us just how fabulous it is.
