Now let's see what the DT have been busy creating this week

Doreen-I have another moonscape to share today,I have made the background with Magenta, Raw Umber and white then after spraying with a cheap hairspray to set the pastels I stamped my image. It was then backed onto some pink card and a sentiment added.xxx

Anjie - This was a plain MDF plaque which I primed with white Gesso. I then covered it with the dotty paper. I lightly sanded the edge of the paper and used the Magenta Pan Pastel to colour the distressing and added some faux stitching. I then painted over the paper with the Glassy Gel to give it a sheen. I then used the dots part of the Leaves & Birds mask and put  light modelling paste through it. I then used a sentiment and covered it in Glassy Gel again. I then used some flowers some lace from my stash.

Terry; I had fun altering a heartshaped box. I worked with Gesso as the first layer, on top some Light Modelling Paste with the Dutch Doobadoo stencil, Roses. On top of that I played with the Red Pearlescent PanPastels and the White one, I colored the roses with the Red Pearlescent PanPastel and topped it with the Iridescent Paste. To Finish I placed a butterfly and colored that with Pearlescent Pans too.

The products that I have played with are:

Pearlescent red	Pan Pastel, White (fine) Pearlescent	Pearlescent Colours & Mediums Palette set of 10	white Gesso	Maimeri Light modelling paste

Lou: I have used my magenta and red pearlescent pan pastels to create my card. The background has been created with Perfect Medium, a stencil, white and clear embossing powders and then colour added with my pan pastels. Full details and more photos can be found on my blog.

Anjie - This started out as a MDF heart which I primed with white Gesso. I then covered it with the dotty paper. I lightly sanded the edge of the paper and used the Magenta Pan Pastel to colour the distressing and added some faux stitching. I then painted over the paper with the Glassy Gel to give it a sheen. I then used the dots part of the Leaves & Birds mask and put  light modelling paste through it.I then cut out some letters and added some faux stitching and covered them in Glassy Gel again. I then used a die cut to create the border and used the Magenta Pan Pastel to distress it. I then glued everything in place.

Tracy ~ so happy to be here today sharing my love of using Pan Pastels as watercolour paint on a little canvas.

A quick doodle doo and it was time to mix the PP with a little water to make it fluid. Once dry I added a few dotty dots using a white gel pen.

Now to let it tell it`s story . . . a quick type on the computer, printed off, snipped it out and it was ready to be fixed in place with a little Maimeri Matt Gel to finish.

Claire C I've made a little wallhanging using Stampbord ATCs, I've always loved Stampbord as it works beautifully with ink but it also works a treat with your PanPastels Too. I've blended shades of magenta PanPastel and added lots of stamping, lace and ribbon for a pretty vintage feel, You can find more details on my blog
