Nikky...

I haven't got an autumnal project for you as I've been busy filming and making magazine deadlines this week, but instead I have another Video for you showing the amazingly LUSH metallic Pan Pastels, so I hope you enjoy this ( I did reshoot this but the camera battery ran out halfway through so I had to revert to Plan A...basically, remove the stencil before you start application so you don't waste all the product!)...hope you enjoy it anyway....

I've created a rusty background using Maimeri gesso, Metallic PanPastels and Phthalo Green and bright yellow green PanPastels. I added some texture with a mixture of Maimeri light modelling paste and microbeads. I had loads of fun creating lots of leaves using die cuts and more PanPastels....

I've used Pan pastels to create my leaves and stamped using versamark and metallics Pan Pastels. Check out my blog to find out in more detail!

Hi everyone, this week my inspiration came from a Leaf that I picked up when I was out walking . . . it reminded me of the bottom half of a boat!...

I used a bit of wood that I had lying around the shed along with: Maimeri Mediums, the new Metallic Pan Pastels, if you haven't got them already you need to they are deeeelish...Mask Stencil, Stamps and Ultra Thick Embossing powder.You can find out more on my blog Here along with links to the materials I've used.

Terry

I have worked on a Birdhouse but made it into an Autumn Falling Leaves house...the background was worked on with Gesso, modelling paste and a stencil. I worked on the bricks with embossing powder and Inksprays.

The butterflies are colored with the GraphIt Markers and on top to seal them I embossed it with Utee, the leaves are embossed and sprayed with Inks and I added some text to it.

Lou: I wanted to use the fab holly leaves from the Premium Craft Brands Christmas stamp sets for my card this week as they are easy to stamp and crisp images to use on any project. I stamped them on to card using a Versamark pad and then coloured them with my pan pastels. I also diecut some extra leaves and coloured them too with pan pastels. I have tried to add a subtle gold sheen to my leaves.

For my background paper, I have used Glassy Gel with a stencil and then enhanced the design with metallic pan pastels and a hint of magenta.

The sentiment is also from the same fab set of Christmas stamps.

So there is our inspiration from the fabulously talented Pan Pastel UK team this week!...
