Moe recycling and lots of messy playing!

 I love getting messy and playing and experimenting - I am blame Karen for showing me Ranger's sticky embossing powder and opening up the uses of frantage!!
I was playing with plastic milk bottles, which is a novelty as our milk comes in glass bottles.   I wanted to see if I could heat the plastic to emboss onto it - and yes you can!!  So having cut the flowers, butterflies and butterfly border out I got playing!!!  I used 2 colours of frantage on the border - I love how the gold melts on this!!  I then stamped some text over the butterflies and added sticking embossing powder, melted it and sprinkled glitter over it - wow!!!! That's all I can say!! The flowers are coloured using alcohol inks.
