This week I'm sharing a canvas I have made using Pearlesant yellow and pink pans. I have versamarked feathers onto the canvas background and brushed the pans over then I have created a matted image using an embossing folder and coloring over this to highlight the embossing behind the image.

Really looking forward to seeing your creations this week

Tracy - hey there gorgeous ones. Hope you are all well this week ???

This week I've used my PanPastels in all shades of blue and green and mixed with acrylic paints to make a fun random art journal page. The pans coordinate so well with acrylic paints and are a perfect surface to paint onto. I started with a layer of pans blended into the pagans then used a mix of pastel circles mixed with acrylics to create a completely random page. Get your pans out and give it a try !!!

Alysha - Happy Sunday! Its that time again, so get out your Pan Pastels and join in with us and share your crafty projects.

As always the theme is Anything Goes Mixed Media

This week I'm sharing a clean and simple card I have made using the pearlescent blue color, I have versamark stamped the flowers and brushed over with the Pans and then mixed with a little medium to paint onto the flowers and butterfly.

Really looking forward to seeing your creations this week

hugs Aly xx
