Back to our new challenge and as always our DT have been working their very own brand of mixed media magic to inspire you .....

Alysha - This week I had a go at "Freestyle" painting with the Pan Pastels Ive used blue, yellow, white, and black Pans and created a card, hope you like it, hugs Aly xx

Tracy Scott - Hey there beautiful people, hope you are all keeping well and wrapping up warm this week. My post this week is a 'DreamCatcher' in acrylics and PanPastels in my Art Journal. I love these magical things and the Pans were a real 'dream' to work with alongside my acrylics and add that little special something to the background for the finished piece...

Terry: I have made a project for Christmas, I started the background with Gesso and second layer with a snowflake stencil from Dutch Doobadoo, I used the Light Modelling Paste to create the snowflakes..on top of the snowflakes I worked with the Light Blue PanPastel and White Coarse to give it a bit of a snowy shine. 

For decorations I placed this cute image of the vintage girl, A few stars are worked on with PanPastels and crackle and the top layer is Gel Medium...the front and back of my project were decorated with some lace. Last but not least I placed a sentiment. 

These are some of the products that I have worked with: 

Gesso	Maimeri Light modelling paste	White COARSE Pearl Medium for PanPastels	Pearlescent Blue	Pearlescent Pan Pastels
Pearlescent Colours & Mediums Palette set of 10	PanPastel Turquoise Tint

Well done ladies, your projects were outstanding!! Please help yourself to a badge for your blogs if you'd like one :-)

Now back to business and as always our DT have created some awesome artwork, if you have time, grab a cuppa and check out their blogs for all the details

Alysha - Happy Sunday! Its time to get your Pan Pastels out and make something for our fortnightly challenge. This project I made by creating the background using various colours of Pan Pastels through a floral mask, I then added some flowers, a butterfly and a sentiment from Polkadoodles Lavender Tea Collection CD.  Looking forward to seeing your creations this fortnight, hugs Aly xx

Tracy Scott - Hey there creative lovelies!! What creative goodness have you been up to this week??

I've been playing with paper napkins, index cards and of course my delicious PanPastels!!

The napkins that I used were black and white and once I had adhered to my card with gel medium and dried I started to colour using watersoluble crayons. Once these were dry I had to add my gorgeous PanPastels over the top to highlight and bring the colours to life !!

Finishing off with some sparkly glitter they look like a real work of art. Thanks for stopping by, why not give it a go and create your own beautiful blooms !! Xx


Terry I had fun making a baby card, you cannot have enough of them in the craftroom eh? I worked on the background with Purple Panpastels, layer on top is made with Light Modelling Paste and Crackle made with a few stencils. I also used some Pearlescent and White Coarse.

The heartshaped die is colored with even darker Purple Panpastel and sealed with Glossy Accents.
I colored the borders with Distress ink and with Metallic PanPastels. Last but not least I placed a sentiment.

Some of the products that I have worked with are:

Maimeri Light modelling paste	White COARSE Pearl Medium for PanPastels	PanPastel Magenta Extra Dark	Pearlescent Violet Pan Pastel	Pearlescent Pan Pastels
Pearlescent Colours & Mediums Palette set of 10

Claire C I've used some of my all time favourite colour PanPastels to make this project, you can find links to them below the pics and more details on my blog

I've used one of my favourite techniques for the background, once I'd stencilled the leaves, I reapplied the stencil and them added Maimeri Glassy Gel Medium before removing the stencil and sprinkling over tiny microbeads

Bright yellow green

Bright Yellow Green Shade

Turquoise Pan Pastel

PanPastel Turquoise Shade

PanPastel - Sofft Knives and Covers

Lou Sims: I used my white pearl medium to create a wonderful pearlescent finish to my paper pieced houses. I also used it on top of the white gesso which helped prepare the MDF key shape. This created a shimmery background.

I used turquoise pan pastel to cover my stampbord pieces before creating my house scene. I then punched a hole and made a keyrinf.
