Doreen - For my card I have masked off the negative of a large die-cut circle and coloured inside with Phthalo Bue and Chromium Oxide Green. I then sprayed with cheap hairspray before stamping my image and sentiment. Next I matted onto some black card before sticking it to my card blank.xxx

Yvonne - I'm loving this Clean and Simple Challenge.  Not my normal style but loving how effective and quick it all comes together.  Would love it if you could pop over to my blog for the full details.

Terry: I had fun making or altering a Bag, I worked with the White Coarse Pearlescent PanPastel, the Orange and Blue Pearlescent Pans and the bag was really easy and simple to make.

Lou: I have used the Premium Craft Brand stamps again, (Postcard set) to create my card. I created the background first using my metallic pan pastels and layered on a vellum sentiment. This was finished with a butterfly coloured with my gold glitter ShakeIt pen.

Challenge 1 Clean and Simple

Happy New Year from all the team at PanPastel UK and Premium Craft Brands !!! 

Welcome to our first challenge of 2015 and we've kept it nice and easy for you this time around as our theme is 

Clean and Simple

You've got two weeks to enter and you don't have to use our products to play along. As always there's a fab prize up for grabs thanks to those lovely folk at

 Premium Craft Brands

 

And of course our DT girls will be voting for their top 3 picks too so what are you waiting for?

Now let's check out the inspiration from the DT

Doreen-For my card share I just masked off the top and bottom of the card and sponged over Permanent red Panpastel and lightening it as I came down the card. After removing the masking tape I then clear embossed the stamp with Black Versafine ink and coloured the Poppies with promarkers.xxx

Anjie - To create my card I have used the Heart Of Flower mask as a stencil and run it through my eBosser to emboss it and then used my Permanent Red Pan Pastel to highlight the raised part of the embossing. I have then simply matted onto red card and then added a few gems to the bottom.

I applied Maimeri Light Modelling Paste through the Dutch Doobadoo A5 Stars stencil and applied a sprinkle of glass glitter and a dusting of PanPastel Coarse White Pearl Medium.

Once it was dry I stamped the sentiment. Here's another pic of the stencilling which unfortunately doesn't pick up the shimmer and sparkle at all so you'll have to use your imagination :-)

Here are the products I've used:

Maimeri Light modelling paste

Stars Stencil Dutch Doobadoo

White COARSE Pearl Medium for PanPastels

Yvonne - Simply sponged blue, yellow and green Panpastels through a butterfly stencil and added a couple of stamps.  More details on my blog.

 Tracy - Happy New Year friends, clean and simple was a challenge for me as I love lots of colour and splodges ... I found limiting the amount of Pan Pastels worked for me.

A quick doodle on a flat board, followed by some Gesso and I was ready to add colour using mainly black and red with a little smidgen of blue for the eyes. I found it easy to mix the shades I wanted by adding either Gesso or Mat Gel.

Lou: I have used my fav stamps from Premium Craft Brands to create my cards. Using Perfect Medium and Pan pastels, I created my background. I then had some fun stamping ....
