Gemma 

I am excited to say this is my first inspiration post for We Love to Create. and my first real use of PanPastels. I am loving both my new teamies and the product. I applied Magenta Shade and Blue through a stencil making sure to blend them into each other. Then I stamped the flowers and text onto book pages and coloured them in using Titanium White, Violet and Magenta Shade Pan Pastels. You can find out more on my blog and I am looking forward to seeing everyone's entries for this challenge







I've made a journal page using lots of the lovely metallic Pans for my project this time. You can find all the details on my blog








Terry: I was having fun making a notebook...this time I worked on the background with first Gesso and a bit darker colours.....a bit of blue, reddish, green, blues and white....When all the colours dried up I played with a flower stencil and used Crackle. A few dots of blue and red and a couple of sentiments and my notebook was ready. One last layer of Matte Gel Medium and my inspiration notebook for you guys is done. Wanna see more pictures? than I suggest you click on my name and check out my blog....

Alysha ~ Hi there this week I have created a card using Polkadoodles Papillon Stamp Set and coloured in with pink Pan Pastel I have used a mask with pan to create the flowers in the background, added ribbon and gems and voilla hope you like. hugs Aly xxx




Terry; I had fun altering a photoframe, the frame is made with Gesso, After the Gesso was dry I played with the Roses stencil with Modelling Paste. I made a couple of layers like this to get some 3D effect. After each layer I worked with the Metallic PanPastel to give my project this "old" look. 
The last layer on the frame that I used was the Gel Medium to seal the Metallic Pans. For the centre of my frame I played with some stencils to create a vintagy background. I worked on the butterflies with Metallic Pans and crackle and another layer of Gel Medium. Last but not least I stamped a sentiment and devided it onto the frame. Would you like to see more pictures, than I suggest you click my name, it will take you to my blog. 

The products that I have been working with are:

 


Claire I love the Permanent Red PanPastels, they are so rich and vibrant. I've used them to alter this little MDF Toadstool house and added stamping and die cuts from Polkadoodles


Here are links to the products I've used:
