Challenge 12 - Anything Mixed Media/Creative...We Love 2 Create craft challenge

Good morning crafters, its time for a new challenge here at We Love 2 Create and we're keeping it nice and easy with our regular theme of

Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes

Just to spice things up a bit we've got extra prizes up for grabs this week, as well as the regular prize of some goodies from Premium Craft Brands our lovely DT ladies are all going to be sending their project out to someone who's left a comment on their blog (sssssssshhhhh, don't tell but I think some of them may have some extra goodies up for grabs too so if you've always fancied having a play with stampbord go and check out the DTs personal blogs!!).

The DT wanted to find a way to say "thank you" for your continued support, so have decided
to do a RAK (random act of kindness) giveaway. So as well as having a challenge winner, our Top 3, we will each be choosing a random winner of our project too. All winners for the RAK will be announced on Sunday 28th June 2015.


A big thank you to everyone who entered our last challenge, wow some amazing artwork! We'll be announcing the winner and top 3 next week so don't forget to pop back and see if you've been picked!


Let's see what the DT have been busy with this week

Claire C: I've made a little scene with my PanPastels this week:


It may look like a tag but it is a postcard honest lol






Tracy Evans: I have created a postcard with full on colour this week, inspired by the Poppies just coming into flower in my garden.







Yvonne - My postcard using stunning PanPastel colours.  More info regarding the giveaway on my blog.





Tracy Scott - I have made my postcard using a mix of amazing PanPastel colours and acrylic paint. More details on my blog






Lou: I have made my postcard by painting all my stamped images with pan pastels as well as using my pan pastels to colour the background.






Terry, I made a postcard with a background of Roses, colored with the Metallic Panpastels, covered with White Coarse Pearlescent Pans. On top a small postcard covered with Butterflies which I colored with the Metallic PanPastels. And last but not least I have stamped some images and sentiments.

Tracy S - Hi all you lovely people out there. It's such a great pleasure to be here with you and on this fabulous team. I look forward to getting to know you all better. For my first project I went whimsy with my pan pastels in my dylusions art journal. Love these fabulous colours.....

Lou: I have been inspired to make another tag card with lots of layers smoothered in pan pastels. It was also a good chance to use up lots of "bits". Full details are on my blog.
Products I used:

Terry I made a few labels to put on a rose, for my girls, they gave it to our dearest neighbourlady and 3th mother who has sadly passed away. The girls wrote a few sentences on the back. I altered a wooden heart to give to her. I worked with Gesso for the background, Used Light modelling paste onto a DD stencil and crackled it. I colored the labels and heart with the Metallic PanPastels and some Pearlescent Pans. To decorate it some more I placed a few butterflies on top to symbolise our dearest neighbour and his wife to fly off to heaven...so they can be together.....
Some of the products that I have worked with are:


Claire C I've made a little canvas using PanPastels mixed with gesso for the background and i've also used my Pans to colour the image, adding some definition  with my Graph'It markers, you can find all the details on my blog.





Hopefully that'll have given you loads of inspiration to play along with our challenge!!
