Make beautiful embellishments with Sparkle Medium

Good Morning Crafters

Friday has come around quickly this week don't you think.

Today we have Christine showing you how to make beautiful embellishments with Sparkle Medium.

This is what Christine has written.

Iv'e found a new way of using my Sparkle Medium (Chartreuse)  which I'd like to share with you all. 

I have some Cake Decorating icing " Lace"  moulds which I use for my Cake Decorating  demonstrations. As I like to experiment with all things crafty, I wondered what it would look like if I spread Sparkle Medium into the moulds. 

It's fantastic as it comes out in one piece and you can use it to embellish all your craft projects.  I strongly suggest you have one set of moulds for icing and another for Sparkle Medium for health and safety reasons. 

Firstly, using a spatula,  spread some Sparkle Medium into the shallow Lacey Icing Mould. Make sure you get into all the bits and that your mould is completely covered. (these can be found in most good cake decorating shops 

2.  Leave this to dry overnight. 

3.  Tease out the "lacey" embellishment and hey presto - you have a lovely embellishment to use which will compliment all your other Imagination Craft products.  

These new "embellishments" look Die Cut and will stick onto card, glass, plastic etc., Keep a look out on the Imagination Crafts blog for projects made using this method in future. 

We hope you have enjoyed today post.
