Love is in the air at Imagination Crafts

Good morning all you lovelies in blogland! I do hope you are well and happy. If all is working as it should when this scheduled post goes like I will be at the Premier Inn having breakfast and getting excited about my day ahead with Hels and lots of other ladies at a workshop! Not long to wait now!

Todays post then is all about Imagination Crafts - we have a new challenge starting today and some new design team members too - make sure you check out the full challenge post here..The theme for february is of course love - here's my first make:




To make my card I have used the following Imagination crafts Products - just click the link it will take you straight to the items in the shop:

To make my card I first painted a chipboard heart with red silkies then left it to dry - then added the sparkle medium through the stencil onto the black card. I stamped the bird of paradise stamp onto balck card using flitterglu then added flakes and fussy cut. I stamped the sentiment in versamark and added brass regular wow powders and heat set. Then I stamped the flowers onto the heart in black staz on and assembled the card adding the ribbon and the red mesh.

I hope you'll try to join our challenge this month - and remember if you use Imagination Crafts Products you'll be in with a chance of winning £40 to spend in store.
