* NEW from Imagination Crafts®
SPARKLE MEDIUM*Diamond

If you want to really make your stencilling rock Sparkle Medium is the perfect answer. This amazing clear gel is absolutely jam packed with sparkle & will give you beautiful, glittering images. Attach your stencil to cardstock using low tack stencil tape (try doing it on smooth glitter card you will love the results). Using a spatula, gently spread a thin layer of Sparkle Medium over the stencil. Always remember to put any paste you have left back in the jar so none is wasted. Immediately peel the stencil away from the cardstock gently, don't leave the stencil on the cardstock while the gel is drying or you won't be able to remove it later. Sparkle takes approx.1/2 hour to dry on cardstock and 1 hour on acetate (you must try it on acetate!). Do try this amazing product because it really is something incredibly different!
