PanPastel Bokeh technique

Morning folks and congratulations to the winner and Top 3 of the last PanPastel Challenge.

For my inspiration this week I decided to have a go at the Bokeh technique which seems to be very popular at the moment using paints and inks.  I think it works perfectly with PanPastels too!

I took a stencil with three different size circles and randomly coloured through this with different PanPastels. I'm then sprayed with spray and sparkle.

The sentiment was stamped onto vellum and attached to the card with glue and small glass beads to cover the glue marks.  A little organza bow and its done!

Hope you like it xxxx

  4. Thanks Zoe, Janet and Karen.
    Janet by all means take the idea, don't think it was mine in the first place! I used the outer of the Clarity moon mask as it has three different sized holes in it. Look forward to seeing what you do xxxx

  8. I have been looking for something to christen my pan pastels with and that looks a good way to get the feel of them. I love the idea of the vellum over the top to give that soft look. Beautiful, Yvonne. xx Maggie
