Challenge 20 Bold and Bright

Good morning, wooo hoo its challenge time and our new theme is

Bold and Bright

You don't have to use PanPastels to enter but of course we love it when you do! Our lucky winner will receive a beautiful mask and a PanPastel too (colours may vary) so remember,  you've got to be in it to win it!

    

Now lets see what our DT have come up with this week, we're really pleased to say that the  very talented Tracy is back with us after a little break!!


Claire C I've used my PanPastels to create a watercolour effect in the background on this card, just sprinkling some of the Pans onto damp watercolour paper and spritzing with water to let the colours mix



Doreen
I have used various PanPastels to achieve the background (Turquoise,Phthalo Blue,White,Magenta and Permanent Red) Masking off the moon .







Tracy -
So happy to be back here with the girls and playing with my Pan Pastels on an 8x8 canvas. To create the background,  I covered the whole canvas with old book pages adhering them with Maimeri Matt Gel first, followed by a quick swipe of a Versamark clear ink pad then applying lots of layers with Pan Pastels, stamps and doodles.


  


Yvonne - A bright and bold tag using Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle to fix the Pans.



 


I have made a clock canvas this week.  used my pan pastels to create a background on my canvas and then added layers of texture using PCB stencils with Maimeri gloss gel, Maimeri irredescent paste and Maimeri white acyrilic paint. I then over stamped using the fab PCB stamps. My clock numbers (!) were made by first creating a background (with my pan pastels, distress inks and PCB stamps) and then cutting the background up to fit small frames.


 



Terry I had loads of fun with a Canvas, I made the background with lots of PanPastels, Red, White, Blue, Yellow and Metallic PanPastels. The Hearts are made with the Board from Dutch Doobadoo. And on top I worked with Crackle Accents and Iridescent Paste, mixed them together to see what they would do.  And to make the shapes on the background I used the Sofft Angle Round Sponce. And 





Anjie - I have made this canvas by firstly covering it all in white Gesso to give it a base. I then covered it with a light covering of the orange Pan Pastel. I then made my own circle mask my punching different sized circles into a piece of acetate. I then used Pan Pastels as a paint (mixed with a little water) and painted through the stencil. I then went around the edges of all the circles with a black Sharpie pen and added some white highlights with the white Gesso.

The Pan Pastels I used are:

Doreen
I found a stamp I have had for ages and thought it was just right for this challenge... My background has been made using Phthalo Blue,Turquoise and White PanPastels leaving a gap where I wanted to place the stamp...I then stamped my image and coloured with Distress Inks then added the sentiment.xxx



Anjie -
On my card the image is from the fabulous Work & Play collection 4 and is coloured with my Graph'It Markers. The papers are from the Dollie Daydream Goes East CD and the Sugarplum Daisy CD. The beach hut and postcard are both Tattered Lace Dies. The sentiment, swirls and hearts are all from the Premium Craft Brands Postcard Stamp Set. I have distressed the edges of the papers, die cuts, sentiment, swirls and image with the Violet Pan Pastel. Finally I added some faux stitching around the edges.






Terry, I made and had lots of fun with a Canvas, I am celebrating life with the butterflies on a background made with the fabby Roses stencil from DD and lots of Gesso, Acrylic Paints, Iridescent Paste. The butterflies are colored with PanPastels and even Metallic Pans are used. The large butterfly is from Nikky her Clearstamp set. To cover the whole canvas I used the Iridescent Paste. 
















Claire C  I've used one of the gorgeous masks from Premium Craft Brands for the focal image on my card. I inked the mask with versamark, embossed it through my Grand Calibur and added colour with PanPastels before stamping fairies and foliage around the edges
