Evening Folks
Hope you are all well. Been having a little play tonight with some new goodies that I purchased on Saturday. I went along to Sir Stampalot as they had a demo day. A lovely lady called Jayne Saunders was demonstrating products from Imagination Crafts. It was totally fascinating and I came home with loads of ideas and a bag full of new goodies.
The main items that I bought were some Sparkle Medium and stencils from Imagination Crafts.
Here is what I created whilst having a play. This card will be going to a good friend of mine for her birthday.
The sparkle medium is a gel paste which can be used on card, acetate etc. Once dried it leaves a lovely glittery surface. In this card I have used Summer Blossom stencil and stencilled with the sparkle medium onto acetate. Once dried I mounted this onto some white card. The sentiment in the centre is also from Imagination Crafts. I stamped and embossed it and then die cut it out. I used the next size up of die cut for the purple layer. The border around the outside is done using some ribbon. Although you can't see very well from this picture the ribbon has a real purply glimmer to it. A couple of bows, a flower,some gems and pearls and a little pearlescent butterfly on the sentiment were the finishing touches.
Here is another picture which shows the sparkle off a bit more. I really wish you could see this in real life, the purple is so much more vibrant.
I really enjoyed using the medium and think it would be really great on christmas cards. Would be really interested to know what you think.
