I've used Pan Pastels to create my background on this card, please checkout my blog for more details.
I had loads of fun making a Scents Bag with lots of Autumn Colours, worked with Gesso,Modelling past with a Leaf stencil, on top the Metallic PanPastels. The background was made with lots of ink, versamark ink and a sentiment stamp and on top the Metallic PanPastels. the butterflies have ink and Metallic PanPastels on top. A little Lace is to finish my project.
I got out all the gorgeous new metallic PanPastels and added a little Phthalo Green, Yellow Green Shade, Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber to create a distressed metal effect on my canvas. Once I'd added all the bits and bobs to create the texture I brushed on a coat of Maimeri Matte Gel and then sprinkled the PanPastels all over, leaving it to dry before I blended the colours. More pics and all the deets are on my blog.
I had fun with my Graph'It Markers, lots of Pan Pastels and some Maimeri Matte Gel with the addition of a few flowers and gems to create this pretty Autumnal Card. Full details over on my blog.
Tracy...Your Wings Exist all you have to do is Fly.
Hi everyone, I had so much fun with this challenge altering a box, making a tiny dress and a set of wings all enhanced by Maimeri Mediums, Hansa Yellow Shade, Magenta Extra Dark, Permanent Red Shade and all the new Metallic Pan Pastels. Please pop on by my blog here for more details.
So there is our inspiration from the fabulously talented Pan Pastel UK team this week!...
