Now lets see what the DT have been busy with this week ...

Yvonne - For my inspiration this week I've used an MDF Heart.  Firstly I added texture paste through a stencil and when dry I covered it with yellow Panpastel and silver gilding wax.  I then added the flowers and humming bird which I black embossed onto white card and coloured with Panpastel and added black Distress Glitter to the centre.  It would be lovely if you could pop over to my blog for a peep.

Our talented DT girlies have stencilled up a storm to inspire you this week

Anjie - I have used the Spirograph Mask for the background by placing it over some white linen card and putting some Light Modelling Paste through it. I have then coloured over it with a black and pearlescent violet Pan Pastels. I have then used the Postcard Stamp Set to stamp out the postcard and sentiment in black ink. I then stamped the butterflies in Versamark ink and rubbed over them with the pearlescent violet Pan Pastel. Finally I added a black bow and some pearls.

Doreen- I first made a background for my stencils by sponging over my Bright Yellow Green PanPastel onto a Manilla tag.

I have used a few stencils over the top laying them over each other and using different colours of PanPastels . I then stamped the butterflies and  added the dream word and ribbon.xxx

Yvonne - For this card I've used Grunge Paste, Panpastels and embossing powder.  All info about how I did this over on my blog.

Terry I had fun working on a canvas. This time I choose the  Purple, Pink and White Acrylic Paints for the background. On top of the first layer I played with the White Coarse Pearlescent PanPastel. I could not resist to play with 2 different stencils from Dutch Doobadoo. First one was the Diamond and the second stencil was the Roses. The roses and diamond came alive with the Light Modelling Paste. When the layers were dry I stamped a heart with the sentiment Love in it on the canvas. The heart was worked on with Glossy Accents and Crackle Accents. Last but not least I placed a butterfly to finish my project.

The products I have worked with are:

Maimeri Light modelling paste	white Gesso	Iridescent Paste	Pan Pastel, White (fine) Pearlescent	Pearlescent Pan Pastels
Pearlescent Colours & Mediums Palette set of 10	Dutch Doobadoo Mask Art A5 Diamond

Lou: I have used quite a soft colour palate this week using white gesso, a Dutch Doobadoo stencil and my pan pastels. The centre stampbord panel has also been embossed and coloured with pan pastels. Full details and more photos can be found on my blog.
