Hello to you all I am back with my inspiration post

I first coloured my card with Chromium Oxide Green Shade and Diarylide Yellow PanPastels, Then I sprayed with some cheap hairspray before stamping the Rose. I then masked this off and stamped the postcard images. I have edged the card with black PanPastel. I finished off by adding the trellis ,birdcage and sentiment.xxx

Anjie For my make I have altered a photo mount.

I started by painting the mount with white gesso. I then mixed some Turquoise Pan Pastel with some Maimeri Light Modeling Paste to give the light blue background. I then placed the Butterfly Mask/stencil over the mount and went over it with a Versamark Inkpad to make it tacky. Then I went over the stencil with the Ultramarine Blue Pan Pastel. Then I used the Black Pan Pastel around the aperture and the edges of the mount to make it pop. Finally I made some rolled roses and coloured some stamped butterflies with the same Pans as before.

 

Claire C I've made a canvas using lots of random paper roses from my stash, I painted it all with black gesso and then set to work with lots of Metallic PanPastels. The background was made with the gorgeous large Roses stencil by Dutch Doobadoo and then layered up over a Dutch Doobadoo Brick stencil background. I've added a couple of butterflies and a sentiment made using the fab stamps that Nikky has designed for Premium Craft Brands

Terry, I have altered a little gift bag, the background is covered with Ligh Modelling Paste, worked with the stencil Roses by Dutch Doobadoo and I worked with lots of PanPastels that I mixed together to get this purple color. The top layer is Irisdescent Paste to give it a shiny look. For the back of the gift bag I used some hearts from Dutch Doobadoo, I have placed a fabby sentiment from Dutch Doobadoo and a butterfly in front with a metal corner to finish my project. 

The products that I have used are

I started colouring my background  with PanPastels, by masking off my moon and tearing some card to form the hills. I then sprayed some cheap hairspray over to seal the chalk.

When dry I stamped my images and sentment with black Versafine, I coloured my roses with Distress inks

I have used Black, Phthalo Blue and Chromium Oxide green shade PanPastels

Claire  I've used my PanPastels and a gorgeous Dutch Doobadoo stencil to create this card, I created the main image by applying Maimeri Glassy Gel over the stenciled image and then sprinkling on microbeads. You can find all the details on  my blog

here are the products I used

 

Terry Hiya guys, I was having fun altering a little square box, I worked on the background with lots of Gesso, Light Modelling Paste and the georgous stencil with lots of roses from Dutch Doobadoo, PanPastels and Crackle. |And to finish I placed the lace all around the box and some butterflies on top. They are colored with Pans too.
