Sand the PolyShrink well to accept the colored pencils (Sheryl uses Prismacolor) and pastels. Stamp the image with Decorit Ink, then color in the design. Shrink, then apply Gold Foil Tape to finish the edges. Finally, apply a coat of 3-D Crystal lacquer to the top of the PolyShrink. Let dry completely before handling.

Decorate the shelf liner using the embossing powders. While the powder is hot, add the Beadazzles and Mini Mosaics.

Black PolyShrink™
Rub n'Buff™ in a variety of colors
Suze Weinberg's silver BeaDazzles™

The pieces surrounding the edge of the frame are made using the Intaglio Technique. Use a PolyShrink ruler to help you decide what size to cut the PolyShrink so that it shrinks to the correct size for your frame.
Make your Intaglio pieces.

Apply Rub n' Buff to highlight the design. Glue the pieces to the frame with E-6000. Bend the wire and add beads. Glue the wire to the back of the frame, or drill holes with a tiny drill bit and fasten the wire to the frame through the holes. Use glue to apply BeaDazzles™ to the finished frame.
