Just a Note

Good Morning Crafters

I hope you are all well and enjoying our tutorials.

Today it is my turn to share a tutorial with you.

The products I have used from Imagination Crafts are:

Inkadinks

Lillies Decoupage Stamp Set

Sparkle Gel

Black Satin Card (I used the white side)

Musical Note Stencil

I have also used Baby Oil too.

In an A4 plastic lid I add an inch of warm water and a couple of drops of baby oil.

I laid the satin card onto the water to absorb the oil and lifted it of and laid onto glass mat.

I then spritzed Inkadinks Mango, Cranberry Sorbet and Candy Floss over the wet card and left to dry

Once dry I inked around the edges with Adirondak Butterscotch and Raisin.

I mixed Cranberry Sorbet with Sparkle Gel then stencilled this through the musical note stencil and put this to one side.

On another piece of spritzed card I stamped the Lillies with Versafine and embossed with clear embossing powder twice, cut out the main image then the lillies.

To finish off I wrapped pink satin ribbon around the decorated back ground, matt and layered onto black pearlescent card.  Matt and layered the decoupaged lillies with silicone glue.

To finish off I added a bow, musical note charm with ribbon and 3 black gems.

The Inkadinks mix really well with the Sparkle Gel to create your own bespoke background.

Thank you for stopping by today
