Challenge 6 Alter it

Good morning crafters, its time for a new challenge and this time around our theme is 

Alter it

as always you have two weeks to play long and you don't have to use our products to join in the challenge! Our lucky winner will receive a beautiful mask and a PanPastel too (colours may vary)


  Turquoise  PanPastel

Now lets see what our DT girlies have been creating to inspire you

Yvonne - today I've altered a Dictionary page.  I stamped the butterfly and distressed the dictionary page behind the coloured butterfly.  The word Butterfly was highlighted in Hansa Yellow.






Claire C  I've altered a Next directory to create a cover for my art journal, you can find all the details on my blog and links t the products i've used below the pic





Terry, To alter something is not that difficult for me, lol I do it all the time when I see a cute box to alter. I altered this round box and worked with Gesso and Light Modelling Paste for the background. I used the Pearlescent Blue and mixed it with Iridescent Paste.and colored the box. On top I played with roses and colored them too with pearlescent pans and Iridescent Paste and to finish I placed lace all around the box and a few butterfly embellishments and a tiny heart.








 Tracy ~ I love little boxes, so my project today is a set of metal nestling boxes altering by stamping and painting with Pan Pastels. It`s amazing how quickly something can change with a little paint!

Nestled inside is another 2 boxes that I will be sharing  next Sunday for my inspiration post, see you then. More pics on my blog here

Lou: I have altered one of the boxes that my pan pastels were sent to me in. I have layered it with papers, stamped images and all coloured with my pan pastels. Full details are on my blog.

Now on to the DT inspiration projects ...

Anjie - This was a plain MDF tag that I started off by mixing some pearlescent violet Pan Pastel with some Gesso and painting the background. I then place the Heart Of Flowers mask over it and stenciled through it with a black Pan Pastel. I then stamped out the butterfly, message and flowers from the Postcard Stamp Set in versamark ink and rubbed over then with the Pan Pastels and glued then to the tag. I finished it off with some black ribbon.


Doreen - I have made a scene on this tag, I first made my background by sponging on my PanPastels while masking off the moon onto a Manilla Tag.I then sponged on my stencils the bird  and leaves.
and stamped the trees and Quote using Black Versafine ink






 Tracy ~ Hi everyone, I have an easy quote in a frame for you today using a PCB Stencil, 2 Pan Pastels along with Matt Gel on calico.

It`s a really quick project that brightens up a shelf with inspiring reminders for you to see dotted around your home. You can find me here



Yvonne - This card was made by using three layers of stencils.  More info on my blog, it would be fabulous if you could pop in to take a peep.


Lou: I have used the same colour palate,stencil and pan pastels (as last weeks card), to create my card. I have added some Washi tape as an additional embellishment, to change the look. Full details are on my blog.






Terry: I had fun altering a box, worked with Light Modelling Paste, 2 stencils from Dutch Doobadoo, lots of Pearlescent Pans, The hearts were made with the "old" empty cardboard Hearts from Dutch Doobadoo with Light Modelling Paste and Iridescent Paste on top. Roses and last but not least a sentiment were placed on top of the box.
