Shabby Fuchsias

Good morning my lovelies, well my week off is nearly half gone so i'm going to make the most of today with lots of crafting and lunch with an old friend. Before I go and get inky I wanted  to share this card made with goodies from Imagination Crafts. I'd never tried their sparkle medium but gave in to temptation and of course a few other goodies fell into my basket lol

Now I've used loads of mediums and pastes but this stuff is gorgeous! Its quite thick which makes it really easy to use and yep its beautifully sparkly although the pics don't do it justice. Its such a nightmare trying to get decent pics this time of year isn't it? 

The main image is a stamp from Imagination crafts, coloured with Graph'It markers and decoupaged, I love fuchsias so I'll be getting lots of use out of this stamp.

The next layer was made with a stencil. also from Imagination Crafts, love this one its so delicate. I inked with bundled sage distress ink and then applied the sparkle medium, such a pretty effect.

The background was made with distress inks, bundled sage, tattered rose and milled lavender and a tiny leaf stamp (from the fuchsia set) stamped with more bundled sage.

I've added some metal butterfly charms, gesso'd and highlighted with a little treasure gold, pretty lace, ribbon, pearls and a little button with a twine bow.

I'm entering this in the following challenges:
