Zoe....Please checkout my blog for details of how I created this card....

I created two different background papers for this card, one uses an embossing folder and black Pan Pastel, the other a mask, black Pan Pastel and some Gloss Gel Medium.  Check out my blog to find full details on how I created this card.

I've used the fabby Premium Art Brands stamps to create this card. The image is coloured with Graph'It Markers and the background was made by stamping the Winter Spruce stamp with versamark and then applying some silver and Pewter PanPastels....

Tracy - Collector Of Memories....

Hi everyone, my inspiration this week came from old books . . . what can I say I love the smell and the textures!....

I altered a very plain chipboard notelet holder using a Mask Stencil and some Maimeri Modelling Paste - a first for me and oh my goodness I think I am hooked!

 I got to play with the Metallic Pan Pastels in Pewter and Silver, although you can't see it I also used a touch of Copper and Bronze along the way . . . they are a dream to work with.

I did add a touch of Magenta Extra Dark to give a little lift and some Tim Holtz IdeaOlogy rub ons.

Seriously, I ended up using quite a few Maimeri Mediums and Pan Pastels, if you would like to see more then please hop on by my blog here.

Lou: Firstly, forgive my photos as they really do not show the sheer shimmery effect the silver and pewter pan pastels give my card. I have used the Doily 1 mask as the main focus as when embossed on to the card, it looked like a snowflake (to me)!

I then cut a frame and embossed with the same mask and added my baubles stamped in versafine and then lightly brushed over with petwer pan pastel.

Terry  I was playing with 3 Tags and made a Tag Card with them. You can fold the 3 different tags in a way to make a card out of it.

The background was made with Metallic Pans, Stencils, Modelling Paste, the Grey Metally Pans in Silver. And I worked on those fabby butterflies with Utee and PanPastels. Added a piece of Ribbon on the top and the Tag Card was finished.

So there is our inspiration from the fabulously talented Pan Pastel UK team this week!...
