Challenge 26 Add some bling - Pan Pastel Challenge

Welcome back to another Pan Pastel challenge!

This week we are all about the Bling - now we have the new Pan Pastel Pearlescents with the amazing Sparkle Mediums we can get even more swishy and blingy with all our Pan Pastel projects -  must confess I can't stop using the mediums and everything is all glittery and lush whether it's intended to be or not LOL!

So our challenge for  you is

Add some Bling

and you can interpret this however you wish.

You have until 16th November to enter and our Random Winner will receive a Pan Pastel goodie bag. You DO NOT have to use Pan Pastels to enter, we just want to see your creativeness! 

Let's see what the team have made for us! ....

Anjie - I've gone very CAS for this one so the stamp does all the work. I have used the Perfect Poinsettia Stamp set. I have layered the stamp up on 3D foam to really make it pop. I have coloured the Poinsettia in with the Permanent Red and Permanent Green Pan Pastels. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. The bling I have added is in the centre of the flower, I have added some gold pearls.

Tracy - Bling it on wood with Metallic Pan Pastels and Sparkle Mediums.

I used Maimeri Gesso as my base before doing a quick doodle and adding a touch of bling with the new Sparkle Mediums . . .

 I wish the photograph picked up all sparkle and shimmer! More details on my blog.

Doreen-I have a Christmas card today. 

I have gone over the blue sky with the Coarse Black Pearl Medium and it has given the sky a shine. The snow has had a coat of glitter,so to have the trees. I am just so sorry the photo doesn't show the shimmer.

Claire C I've had lots of messy fun making this tag using lots of goodies from Premium Craft Brands, you can find all the details on my blog. To add some bling I used lots of the gorgeous metallic PanPastels and also used them to colour some beads in the centre of the flower. I simply glued the beads in place and spritzed them with a mixture of Maimeri Gloss Gel and water before lightly brushing over some Rich Gold PanPastel

Anjie - I started by stamping the background using the Vintage Scruffy Flowers stamp set. I then coloured all the flowers and background using the Orange, Violet, permanent red and permanent green Pan Pastels. I then added the white dots using the Graph'It Shake white pen. Next I stamped the girl and wings from the Art Girl stamp set onto white card and coloured them in using the the Violet, Orange, Neutral Grey Extra Dark, Paynes Grey Extra Dark and Black Pan Pastels. I then added the dots using the White Shake pen, and cut the images out. Finally I stamped the sentiment from the Leave A Little Sparkle stamp set.

Claire C I've made a little tag using Halloween colours. I was experimenting with Maimieri Glassy Gel medium for the background and discovered that it works beautifully mixed with PanPastels to create a gorgeous glossy raised effect when you stencil with it!. You can find all the details on my blog.

Postcard Stamp Set	Rich Gold - Metallic Pan Pastel

Terry I had lots of fun with altering a canvas and started out with gesso and worked for the background with the metall tool to make scratches on the canvas. On top of them I played with the Roses Stencil from Dutch Doobadoo and the A4 Butterfly stencil from Premium Craft Brands, but did not use the butterfly but only the Huge Roses.....when the background was dried up I played with the Purple, Orange Pearlescent Pans and the Metallic, White COARSE and Purple Pans to give the Roses some colour. And last but not least I placed a wooden window in the middle of the canvas and placed a butterfly in the middle which I colored with the Pearlescent Pans and topped it off with Glossy Accents.

The products that I have worked with are: 

Violet Pearl	Orange Pearl	White COARSE Pearl Medium for PanPastels	Pearlescent Pan Pastels	Pearlescent Colours & Mediums Palette set of 10
Rich Gold - Metallic Pan Pastel	white Gesso	Maimeri Light modelling paste	Mask Stencil A4 Butterfly
