So keep in mind its the first time I've used Fimo so don't expect something perfectly made as the edges are quite rough and badly cut but I didn't realise just how bad until I cooked it. I started by rolling out my Fimo, stamping on top of it and removing the edges I didn't want. I cooked it for 30 minutes on the lowest heat possible.
I've used yellow card, orange and red strips to create a slope effect in the background, red paper background paper for the Fimo image, green buttons and the flower.
Patterned paper backed on to card, white strip of paper to create the folding zig-zags, buttons and gold wire which I twisted on to a needle to create a spring..
You will be seeing more Fimo on this blog and I hope that you'll enjoy it. Even though its an ATC I don't want one in return but feel free to pass it on in trade for another.
Here are other things that I have created using the flowers above

Hello, this is Anna from Blog Friends swap bot. You did a great job for your first project with Fimo. Can you tell me what Fimo is? Thanks, Anna
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna. Fimo I'm guessing is the same as what they call polymer clay in the U.S.
