More Imagination Decoupage

Evening Everyone
I hope you managed to catch Imagination on QVC earlier this evening. Unfortunately my cards didn't get much of an airing so I thought that I would post a couple of them here quickly before I get to bed.
 I think this one was given a very brief moment of air time. All the samples tonight have been made using the fantastic Crocus stamp set. This particular card also uses the Summer Blossom stencil and stencil paints.
I have used a combination of background papers to create this card which I would like to enter into the challenge over at Paper Sundaes where they are looking for Paper Piecing.
 I have stamped one of the little background stamps over the stencilled flowers.
This second card makes use of bleach, dark card and dye based inks.
 The handmade background paper is made using the Sylus tool and a Petal Point pigment ink pad.
This final card uses Inkidink inks, and embossing both heat and cuttlebugged. The swirly folder matched the stamps perfectly I thought.
Hope you like them.

Imagination on TV - 6pm on QVC

Evening Everyone
I have been having way too much fun recently making samples using the stunning new collection of Spring Decoupage stamps sets from Imagination.
There are 6 stamps sets in total in this new collection and each one gives you brilliant value as it contains not only a large stamp but also several smaller stamps and sentiments which co-ordinate perfectly. I would be hard pressed to choose a favourite one from amongst them.

Tomorrow evening the lovely Sue from Imagination will be on QVC showcasing some of these stamps, amongst other things.
My card tonight uses the Butterfly set. I stamped and embossed the main image from the set onto some watercolour card and then added a wash  of colour made from a mixture of Pearly PaintInkidinks and water.
This panel actually started off a completely different colour but I played around with it adding extra water and then removing colour with kitchen paper and dropping different colours in to the mix until I was happy with the results.
That is the beauty of watercolour card, it is very forgiving, allowing you to play and mix things up with out ruining the card, something normal card stock will not usually allow.
I added some extra colour to the leaves, and white Gelly Roll Glaze pen to the small daisies.
The background papers are from my stash, and I have stamped and embossed the small floral branch down the right hand side of the pink paper panel.
I also added a little Magi Glaze to the butterfly and flower centres.
All of the products are available from Imagination Crafts who offer a first class delivery service both UK and overseas.
Don't forget to catch them on the TV. Remember 6pm on QVC.
Hopefully you will get to see some of my samples, although I have noticed that the Presenters are not quite as laid back as they are on Create and Craft so you may just have to wait for me to post them all here over the next couple of weeks.
I am going to enter this card into a couple of challenges.

Charisma Cardz Challenges - Pretty in Pink
Crafts and Me - Pink and Sparkly  Unfortunately the sparkle from the Pearly Paint doesn't show up well in the photos.
Flutterby Wednesday - Must use Embossing with Butterfly/ Fairy/ Angel

Off to bed now, or maybe there is just time to catch up with a couple of comments :)
