As always our DT have been creating some mixed media magic, let's check out what they've been up to this week:

Tracy Evans - I am really enjoying using PanPastels at the moment, the blend of colours is fabulous and the colours work so well together. Once again I used a combination of circles in my design.

Black COARSE Pearl Medium for PanPastels	Pan Pastel - Magenta	Magenta shade	Magenta Extra Dark	PanPastel - Sofft Tools Kit
Stampbord Assorted sizes

Yvonne - A birthday card for a very special relative.  All details are over on my blog, would love to see you there.

Phthalo Green Shade

Tracy Scott - A new journal page in my large dylusions journal using the fabulous PanPastels and black and white doodle pens, check out my blog for more details.....

Claire C I've had loads of fun creating this little piece of fairyland to hang my keys on. I coated the MDF base with gesso and then got to work adding lots of colour with my PanPastels. I sealed it with my homemade sealer spray made with 1/3 matte medium and 2/3 water in a spritzer bottle and left it to dry before adding polka dots and stripes to the letters with a white Graph'It shake pen. Once everything was dry I created a scene for the background with my Pans on some white card and attached this to the back of the mdf.

here are links to the products I've used

Burnt Sienna	Raw Umber PanPastel	Bright Yellow Green Shade	Pan Pastel chromium oxide green	Perm Red Pan Pastel
Permanent Red Extra Dark	ultramarine blue	Ultramarine Blue Tint	Hansa Yellow Pan Pastel	Orange Pan Pastel
White COARSE Pearl Medium for PanPastels	Graph It shake it white marker	PanPastel - Sofft Tools Kit	Neutral Grey Pan Pastel

Lou: I decided to make a tag using up lots of emphera bits I recently found whilst having a much needed tidy up! I have used my pan pastels to both lighten and age the pieces.
