Let's have a look at this weeks inspiration from the DT

Doreen-I covered my background with Permanent Red, Phthalo Blue and Black Panpastels while masking off the moon with a punched circle. I  stamped my image and this was then mounted onto white and black card

Anjie - To create this card I used 2 of the roses from the Roses A5 stamp set and stamped them to create the corner. I stamped some of them a few times and decoupaged them up. I then used the frame and sentiment stamp and the roses in bud stamp to create the message section. For the background I used the A4 Butterfly mask and embossed it onto white card.

Yvonne - For my Birthday card this week I've used Hansa Yellow and Pthalo Blue Shade - no green!.  I blended the two colours over the background then masked off a square with a post it note.  I then stamped the raindrops and branches and removed the post it note.  More details on my blog would love you to pop over.

I have altered a frame and started out with lots of Gesso and allmost all the colours fromt the New Pearlescent Pans, some other panpastels were added into the frame that I made with Light Modelling Paste and the Burlap stencil from Dutch Doobadoo. Inside the frame I worked with the Roses Stencil from Dutch Doobadoo. To finish my frame I placed Irisdescent Paste on top. I did the same with the heartshaped frames and topped it off with the Metallic PanPastels.
