Yvonne - wow did I enjoy making this one with all the fabulous products from Premium Craft Brand. Details of how I made this on my blog.




Doreen
I have made my background by shading Diarylide Yellow, Permanent Red Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna Shade,I then sealed this with some cheap hairspray,next I stamped my image using black Archival ink and coloured in with PanPastels,I then stamped the sentiment and tied on some twine and a button.xxx





Tracy - Inspiration for my project came from the trees changing colour and a time to be thankful for what we have. A chunk of wood, book pages, Maimeri Gesso/ Matt Gel, a stamp and a few Pan Pastels was all that was needed to create my wood art.
Really quick and such a joy to mix the Pan Pastels together. Please hop on by my blog if you have a mo. x




Anjie - On the image her hair and skin are coloured with Graph'It Makers and the dress with Pan Pastels. The colour I used for the dress is Orange Extra Dark. To create the background I have used the leaves stencil and mixed some iridescent paste with the orange Pan Pastel and put through the stencil. I then used the pearlescent orange Pan Pastel over the top of all. Then I used the pearlescent PP red around the edges and finally the magenta extra dark PP right at the edges. I then stamped the butterfly and sentiment from the Postcard stamp set and used the same colour PP's to colour them. I have finished the card off with some satin ribbon from my stash. More details on my blog.

Here are the products I used.

Doreen
I started by putting my backing card through a dotty embossing folder then lightly sponging over with my Turquoise PanPastel.. I then embossed another piece of white card with a free folder.The Dragonfly has been die-cut and embossed using card that I coloured with my Pans....Last of all came the sentiment which has been clear embossed with Distress Ink.xxx



                                       
Yvonne  - I loved making this pretty card all the details of how I made it can be found on my blog.









Terry, I had lots of fun altering a little box. I worked on the background with the Light Gold, Orange Pearl, Green Pearl, Red Pearl, Yellow Pearl, Copper and White COAR|SE PanPastels. To make the heartsy embellishments I used the board from the Hearts from Dutch Doobadoo, I played with Light Modelling Paste, waited untill they were allmost dry and put them through and embossingfolder. Colored them with the Pearlescent Pans and topped them of with the Iridescent Paste. To finish my project I placed some sentiments.

Anjie - The image is from Polkadoodles and is called Maddie With Present and is coloured with my Graph'It Markers. I have used an embossing folder and a mask as an embossing folder and have gone over them with the pearlescent Pan Pastels.
