Imagination Crafts Challenges

Good Morning to all my crafty friends and followers.

We are now halfway through February and it's time for a little mid month inspiration over at Imagination Crafts Challenges.  Our theme for this month is
Love Is In The Air

Don't forget that if you use Imagination Crafts products you could be the lucky winner of a £40 voucher to spend at Imagination Crafts.

Here is my inspiration post.


Imagination Crafts products used
MDF frame
Bird of Paradise gilding stamp set
Gold sparkle medium
Gilding flakes
Acrylic paint
Crackle glaze

I decided to make a Valentines gift of a wall hanging.  The bird of paradise image from the stamp set was done with gilding flakes together with the trellis background in the centre.  The frame itself was painted and crackled and then stamped with the small stamps from the stamp set.  I added some red hearts that had been cut out of a previous project.  The letters were die cut and then stickles added for sparkle. Some red roses and ribbon were the finishing touch.

Thanks for popping by and you have till the end of the month to get your entries in.  Just pop over to Imagination Crafts Challenges to enter. Don't forget to check out the inspirational work from the design team while you are there.
