Alysha - Happy Sunday! Its time to get your Pan Pastels out and make something for our fortnightly challenge. This week I have made a card using Violet and White Pan Pastel, I have used a couple of masks for building up the background, White gel pen for accents then stamped out the dragonfly and added a sentiment - I then matted and layered onto a card.Looking forward to seeing your creations this fortnight, hugs Aly xx



Claire C I've used my PanPastels  to create this card using some gorgeous new stamps from Polkadoodles






Terry I had lots of fun altering a square box, the background was made with Gesso and I played with an ABC stencil and Light Modelling Paste. I worked with Pearlescent PanPastels and the colour this time was pinkish and brown. A bit darker brown was used on top of the letters on the background. All around the borders I placed a piece of lace. On top of the box I glued some hearts. I placed some rope around the hearts and glued them on top of eachother. Last but not least I colored a little butterfly and put it near the hearts. If you wanna see some more pictures just click on my name and it will take you to my blog where you can see some more pictures.

Congratulations ladies, your projects were awesome!! Don't forget to grab your Top 3 badge from the sidebar.

Now what have our lovely DT been busy with this week. as always they've created some stunning projects to inspire you...

Nikky...I coloured this Oddella image up a few weeks back for the Graph'It colouring challenge and when I looked at it the following day I suddenly had an overwhelming urge to make her into a journal page which I have not done for absolutely eons...and I mean eternity eons! I've recently had a disaster purchase - I needed to bulk buy some diaries and like the numbskull I am I bought 50 (yes, that's 50!!) diaries - then realised when they arrived they were 2015 GRRRR!!! So I have 50 journals to use up this year haha!!
So I didnt lose the mojo for her I rushed upstairs as soon as I got in from work and decided I was only allowing the time it took for the pizza to cook and no more - I'm trying to set myself time goals so I just go with the flow and dont procratinate too much as it's killing my melon, man....
this was the coloured image before and after... 
 I just got all my fave colours out and random stamps which just happened to be the nearest to hand which were all my textures from Premium Art Brands and threw it all on. I did actually spritz and seal between layers but because I was rushing they did get very muddied and I used a lot of yellow ochre which I dont normally do. Not what I was aiming for at all but this was pizza journaling!!...
 I just ripped the image off the paper and glued it down with photo glue then applied all the Pan Pastel colours around it, using a Versamark inkpad to overstamp - love using Versamark ink as they just stick to the Pan Pastels like glue and make it so vibrant...
 A bit of doodling to finish off using a black Graph'It marker which will go over virtually anything and the must have Graph'It White Shake marker...

colours used: magenta, perm red, yellow ochre, phthalo green, black coarse sparkle medium, white sparkle medium, violet
Walnut distress ink to stamp, Versamark to stamp, Graph'It white Shake pen, Graph'It Black alcohol marker, Graph'It Glitter shake silver and gold (character)

Lou: I used my pan pastels to both colour my background but also my stamped images to create a simple and quick card. I wanted the bricks to stand out so embossed them first running it through my die cutting machine.

Next using Perfect Medium, I stamped my flower images and coloured them quickly with pearlescent yellow and orange pan pastels creating highlights using a rubber. One of the many benefits of using pan pastels ... rub away what you don't need or even any mistakes!
 and repeated the process with the leaves and rose buds using the Sofft Tools ...


Finally I added everything to the brick background to create a pretty floral card. This really is a quick way to create your elements as probably the longest part is cutting the images out.


More photos and step by step instructions can be found on my blog. All products and links are below. Just open the images ...




Hope you all have a messy creative week and don't forget to pop back next week to 
see what the DT have created for the new challenge.
