Congratulations ladies!! Your projects are stunning

We didn't want to leave you too long without any inspiration so our lovely teamie Terry has created a beautiful project for you this week, check out her blog if you get chance as she is a super creative lady!!

Terry: I have worked on a photoframe for a little inspiration for you this week. The backgrounds first layer was made with Gesso....I used a couple of stencils to work on the background. For that I used Light Modelling Paste and Crackle to go on top. I love how the flowers turned out. I played a little bit with the Metallic PanPastels and painted the frame with a layer of Interference Fluid and Antiquing Creme. Than rubbed with a babywipe and there ya go the background stayed a bit darker with the Metallic colour and the Flowers and the top of the frame came out a bit whiter. Last but not least I stamped an image of a family and placed the sentiment Forever Us, since family is the most important thing in the world. Hope I am giving you some inspiration with my project.

Thanks Terry, we love your beautiful project!! 

Don't forget do pop back on 24th for our brand new challenge!!

Happy Crafting

For this challenge, I have created a journal page. I did a base layer using Orange Tint, Permanent Red Tint and Phthalo Blue Tint. I then mixed some of the Red and Blue Tints to gesso, this made me a paint that I could then stamp onto the background with bold background stamps.  I used Magenta Shade and Violet to lay colour onto my flowers and blended them together with a water brush, more details and photos can be found on my blog.

I am excited to say this is my first inspiration post for We Love to Create. and my first real use of PanPastels. I am loving both my new teamies and the product. I applied Magenta Shade and Blue through a stencil making sure to blend them into each other. Then I stamped the flowers and text onto book pages and coloured them in using Titanium White, Violet and Magenta Shade Pan Pastels. You can find out more on my blog and I am looking forward to seeing everyone's entries for this challenge
