Daily Candy Add on

Ok folks here is a biggy for you this morning.... I know it doesn't look much in the picture but would you believe there is somewhere in the region of £35 worth of goodies in this one picture..
Firstly I would like to thank the wonderful Mr Sakura himself (The Flying Scotsman) for being so generous & actually donating this gift for me to offer to you... yes that's right & I put my hand up to this... it hasn't cost me a single penny....
THANK YOU CRAIG....... perhaps you could leave a comment thanking him also.
Now this part of my candy was unplanned until I loaded a project called "Sakura met my Bunny" for which many people left comments thinking I was offering the pens... which I wasn't... when I mentioned this to Craig he very kindly offered to donate a set of them, along with some fabulous peel offs.
Now don't be turning your noses up at the words Peel offs... I know so many people still think of borders & corners but we have come a long way since then... in addition to that... these peel offs have been designed specifically to work with your Sakura pens.... yippee......
I have attached 2 picture sheets below to give you an idea of the types of designs available... as you can see they are very swirly ( the current trend).
You will see that there are gold/silver on one end of the pic & white on the other... this is where the true magic begins....
The white sheets you see are infact double sided peel offs... covered by a protective layer of course... these peel offs are designed to be used with ultra fine glitter & boy do you get some dazzling results... you would simply cut out the image you require (roughly) then peel back the protective layer... this then allows you to rub (in circular motions) your glitter onto the design. Once you've finished rubbing it in, simply remove & position... there are birds, hobby horses & flowers to name but a few..
Please see the bottom of this post on how to order your Sakura products online in the UK...
Today's daily candy add on


Example of bird designs

Example of Butterfly designs


To enter today simply leave a comment (please do thank Craig for his generosity) as I'm sure he will be looking to see what you all say about our beloved Sakura products.
Finally, I know that many of you love Sakura but may not always live close to a shop where you can easily purchase them... so don't say I never lead you in the right direction... problem solved.
What more can I say... oh yes... make sure you have a cuppa to hand along with your purse...
Hope you all have a fabulous day.
Hugs

Linda S. said...

To Lorraine and Craig, I would like to thank you both for your generosity. The peel offs look like so much fun, but I have never tried them. Not quite understanding how they work with the Sakura pens. But then, doesn't everything look better with a Sakura pen having gone over it? I am especially fond of my Stardust set. I was using them just tonight. Thank you both again, Linda S. in NE
