Nikky...I really REALLY love colouring with my PanPastels, the super smoothness of the pigment makes it so easy to create really soft blending very easily and more importantly for me - very quickly. I'm quite a speedy colourer inner anyway but this fish is A4 and only took me about 2.5hours from start to finish because you can cover such a large area and using the right PanPastel tools means the coverage is great.
In hindsight I wish I'd printed this image onto Bristol board or a smooth watercolour board as the results would've been much more vibrant but I didnt plan ahead, so this is just on a smooth paper (Ultimate Graphic from Polkadoodles). I had quite a lot of crumbles because it didnt really have enough tooth for me but I still like the results, just wanted a bit more colour. I used small paintbrushes dry and the PanPastel tiny applicators (like makeup applicators) to apply colour into the fine areas. The only other product I used was a grey Graph'It brushliner pen just to add some shadow detail back in on the fins as I lost it a little and the paper wouldnt let me add any more pastel, and the addition of the white dots with my Graph'It Shake White pen which I cant live without - it literally works on ANYTHING. Sorry I've not listed my colours I used as there was quite a lot on this piece, I just mixed everything I had to hand LOL.



Tracy Evans - I have opted for some lovely warm Autumnal shades this week.




Yvonne - Sparkly butterfly.  All details are on my blog.






Tracy Scott - I love adding my PanPastels on top of acrylic paints. It creates such a lovely soft effect. 


Claire C I've been colouring with my PanPastels too, such a quick and easy technique! I've used Lyra Polycolour Pencils to add detail to the houses. The die cut letters were also coloured with my Pans












Terry: I had fun with another canvas and used my favourite vintagy image, the background was made with a layer of paper and on top lots of Matt Gel and Glassy Gel. Than I covered the top with a wooden heart and some lace underneith the heart.  I played with some roses and a metall heart colored them all with pearlescent and panpastels. To finish my canvas I placed some hashtags.









Lou: I have been completing my suitcase  project which I started earlier (see here) with some additions to the inside of the case. Full details are on my blog.

 And our Design Team will also be choosing their top 3 picks too!!

Now let's see what our lovely DT girls have been doing this week ...
they are definitely in the pink lol.


Doreen-I first made my background using my PanPastels while masking off the moon and using a mask for the hills. Next came my Stamps and a die-cut sentiment. More details on my blog





Yvonne - All stamping used Versamark.  The white is embossing powder and the pink is Permanent Red Tint straight on to the Versamark.  More details on my blog.





Anjie - This started out as a MDF heart which I primed with white Gesso. I then covered it with the dotty paper. I lightly sanded the edge of the paper and used the Magenta Pan Pastel to colour the distressing and added some faux stitching. I then painted over the paper with the Glassy Gel to give it a sheen. I then used the dots part of the Leaves & Birds mask and put  light modelling paste through it.I then cut out some letters and added some faux stitching and covered them in Glassy Gel again. I then used a die cut to create the border and used the Magenta Pan Pastel to distress it. I then glued everything in place.




Tracy ~ so happy to be here today sharing my love of using Pan Pastels as watercolour paint on a little canvas.
A quick doodle doo and it was time to mix the PP with a little water to make it fluid. Once dry I added a few dotty dots using a white gel pen.
Now to let it tell it`s story . . . a quick type on the computer, printed off, snipped it out and it was ready to be fixed in place with a little Maimeri Matt Gel to finish.




Claire C I've made a little wallhanging using Stampbord ATCs, I've always loved Stampbord as it works beautifully with ink but it also works a treat with your PanPastels Too. I've blended shades of magenta PanPastel and added lots of stamping, lace and ribbon for a pretty vintage feel, You can find more details on my blog

  






Terry, I have altered a pair of real Dutch Wooden Shoes, had them for a while and at first they were yellow. Not anymore...I worked on the wooden shoes with Gesso, Light Modelling Paste, on top colored them on top of crackle with Pearlescent red and white PanPastel. And topped it all off with Iridescent Paste. For more detailled pictures visit my blog please.
