Midway for Imagination Crafts: Love is in the air

Hello there! Wow this month is surely slipping away quickly! I'm amazed constantly at how quickly time passes - must be my age - lol!!!! And if so its only going to get faster!

Today I'd like to remind you about February's challenge over at imagination-craftschallenges. Our theme is 'Love is in the Air' and we'd love to see you entering the challenge using some of the wonderful range of goodies from Imagination Crafts. If you do you'll be in with a chance of winning £40 to spend in store.  I've used some items to make my piece - here it is :





Okay so I used the following imagination crafts goodies to make this hanger:


Silkies red from the indian spice collection
heart swirl stencil
Daisy decoupage flower stamp - sorry couldn't find this one to link to.
Gold Shine sparkle medium

If you click on the links they'll take you to where you can find them in the shop. The hearts were shapes from the sheena range and I painted them with the silkies.Once dry I used the stencil and sparkle medium to decorate them then set about making the flowers. For this I inked up a daisy from the daisy decoupage stamp with staz - on then layed angelina film over the top making a sandwich with some angelina fibres. I heat set them using a craft iron then cut them out and added some sparklers from the hobby house into the flower centres. I then stamped the sentiments and arranged them on the hearts and finally glued them altogether using ribbon.

I'd like to enter this hanger into the following challenges:
