Well done ladies, beautiful artwork! Please help yourselves to a badge for your blog and we hope you'll join us again soon!

Now on to our new challenge and as usual our DT have been working their magic to create some stunning projects to inspire you ....


For this challenge, I have created a journal page. I did a base layer using Orange Tint, Permanent Red Tint and Phthalo Blue Tint. I then mixed some of the Red and Blue Tints to gesso, this made me a paint that I could then stamp onto the background with bold background stamps.  I used Magenta Shade and Violet to lay colour onto my flowers and blended them together with a water brush, more details and photos can be found on my blog. 








I've made another tag for my tag journal using my PanPastels, 








Lou: This is part one of my project! You see I can't show the full project - only a sneak peek of the final piece - as it's being used for a new stamp launch on C&C (29th June 2017) for Nikky Hall of Polkadoodles. I've used stampbord and my pan pastels, (plus the new stamps) to create a mirror ...



More photos and details of how the mirror frame is made can be found on my blog.

Terry: I have made a few canvasses, the background was made with Gesso, Light Modelling Paste and a flowerstencil, I worked with a bunch of fabulous PanPastel colours such as Metallic PanPastels, White Coarse and crackle. The Butterflies were worked on with Crackle and Metallic PanPastels. the finishing touch was made with Gel Medium.


I have worked with the following products:

I have a fun little canvas to share with you today, made by mixing PanPastels with gesso. More details can be found on my blog but I mixed Violet and Magenta Shade with gesso to coat the chipboard sunglasses I stamped over the top with Versa Mark ink and applied a second coat of Violet and Magenta Shade over the top. The background was coloured in the same way except the second coat was applied through a stencil.







 I've made another tag for my tag journal and used some of my favourite PanPastel Colours, I just adore Magenta Extra Dark . You can find all the details on my blog







Lou: I've created a notebook using gesso, my pan pastels (including mediums & metallics), stamps and a few die cuts. More details and photos are on my blog.
