Hi Folks
Hope you are all well. After a busy weekend I managed to get in my crafty room yesterday and have a little play. It's back to work today but a short week as our office is closed on Good Friday. Do do love long weekends lol.

Today I would like to share a little inspiration and tutorial for our Anything Goes challenge over at Imagination Crafts.
I love using stencils and sparkle medium so I am going to show you how you can create a lovely project with minimum effort. The sparkle medium really does have the wow factor but is so easy to use.
Are you ready? Then I will begin.
1. I used the Ivy Branch panel stencil and Golden Pine sparkle medium onto white card. Set aside to dry.
2. On a piece of beige paper I used one of the small leaf stamps from the Clematis decoupage stamp set to stamp randomly around the edges. I used bundled sage distress ink.
3. The background was then matted onto black card and then onto a card blank. I also stamped a sentiment using bundled sage distress ink and matted this onto black card.
4. Once the sparkle medium was dry I used bundled sage distress ink to soften the edges and then matted onto black card.
5. The image was placed centrally onto the prepared background.
6. I finished off by adding a bow, the sentiment, flowers and gems.
Thanks for popping by and hope this inspires you to have a go with stencils and sparkle medium. It is so easy to do and creates a great effect. Just pop over to Imagination Crafts and check out all the fab products they have.
