Christmas in July

Evening Folks
A bit of a late post for me but been busy today.  Spent some time in my crafty room working on a wedding table plan and post box that I have been asked to do.  The wedding is in a couple of weeks so will post some piccies after the event.

Finally found some time to create a card just for fun and not for a DT.  I decided to have a play with some Imagination Crafts products that I recently ordered.


I used a stencil called Hanging Bauble and applied Sparkle Medium through it in gold and red berries.  Just love the sparkle medium.  Once dried I matted onto red mirror card and black card.  For embellishments I simply added a bow, poinsettia flower and gems to each corner.  The sentiment is a glittery peel off that I bought last christmas.  Really like the way it came out and will certainly be making a few more of these for my christmas cards. 

Here is another shot which hopefully shows more of the sparkle.
