WOW girls have i got hot news for you xxxx

the very kind team over at Imagination asked me if i would try there new fantastic products and well girls i have to say RUN as fast as you can and get these beauties in your shopping baskets

the first new product in this range is the inkadinks (dont you just love the name ) which is a a water based ink which you can paint with ,mix with micra powders ,glitter and spritz but to name but a few things this this brilliant product can do plus the endless colours you can create by mixing them (full details here)

the second products are called the silkies (not realised yet) are the bottles that look like nail varnishes (love them) these fabulous gorjuss bottles are a fabulous new cutting edge product as if any of you out there like me could not get on with H2o,s as when using them trying to get the right shade before they tried then these are the prodct for you ,

you can use them straight from the bottle no messing or mix water with them on a craft mat of old plate to get a water colour affect ,

you know i am not great with words so you see by this post today i love them so much i just had to tell you all so look out for these babies as i will be using them all the time now xxxxx

the card you can see below is all made using these fabulous new products and it fits in nice with a few challenges the frist being spoonfull of sugar challenge which is create a scene ,for this i have used the gnomes stamp from the whiff of joy and the christmas tree accessories stamp ,the sketch i have used is from the create 4 fun challenge and last but not least i have done a bit of doodling in the form of foe stitching which is the challenge over at creative card crew
