We are lucky enough to have the hugely talented Ali Reeve join us again this week as our Guest Designer, and as always, she has worked her magic to produce this lovely card.


Hi, I have been putting Pan Pastels through their paces recently, from water colouring to mixing with embossing and loving the effects.  But I choose this card as my anything goes because I love the effect. So the recipe for this one is as follows. Place your mask onto some dark card (dust your card with talc or an anti-static bag), ink through with versamark or perfect medium, remove the mask and sprinkle on white embossing powder. Tip off the excess and heat set, for a glossy finish heat from behind, for more texture heat from the front (I heated from the front!), allow it to cool. Now grab your pastels and sponges, and just apply the pastels over the embossing, really work it in, applying different colours to different areas. The pastels really make the design pop!



When our Design Team knew it was Anything Goes week...I think there was some extra creativity bursting to get out.
























Thank you for joining us.  Have a good week.
