Before we check out this weeks inspiration from the DT we're very sad to be saying goodbye to two lovely teamies who are moving on to pastures new. Anjie and Tracy have created some awesome artwork and we're sooooooo going to miss them! 

Right, let's see what the DT have been up to this week .....

Yvonne - Spring Colours, for this project I used all pearlescent Panpastels which are perfect for soft gentle colours.  All the details are on my blog - would be great to see you there.

Well done ladies, gorgeous projects!! Don't forget to grab your Top 3 badges for your blogs.

Its time to check out the inspiration from the design team, some of the girls have been playing with Stampbord which works beautifully with PanPastels as well as inks: 

Stampbord™ is an incredible art and craft surface; developed by Ampersand Art Supply that allows clean, perfect rubber stamp impressions every time. The surface is correctable and erasable, great for jewellery, custom boxes, magnets, altered books, ornaments, embellishments, scrapbooking & more!

Stampbord’s ultra-smooth clay finish, accepts all types of stamping inks including dye based, alcohol and pigmented. The absorbency of the clay surface lets you apply colour without smearing, and no matter how saturated the surface becomes, the material will never buckle.

Anjie - I've used a cheap canvas and some Stampbord to alter for my project. More details can be found on my blog.
