PTI Stamp-a-Faire 2013...Custom accents from the Oven

Bit of baking anyone?  Remember the shrinky dinks that we got as kids in cereal boxes or chip packets?  Well, you can buy that stuff and make your own.  This challenge was about using this shrink plastic to make little embellishments for our cards.  I was limited in the fact I didn't have any alcohol inks to colour the plastic with (water based inks will not do), so I ended up using the matt plastic and keeping it that colour for the word 'BABY'.
I also gave the hot new trend of 'ombre' a go (where the colour graduates from light to dark).  I quite liked it!
