PanPastel photo step by step

Hi everyone, I've been asked to post a step by step for this project so I'll keep the words short and sweet!  I loved the layers on this but not sure it shows too well in the final photo.

Firstly I took a piece of watercolour card which was left over from another project, this had silver Dyna paint which had been applied through a stencil.

I then offset the same stencil and applied light modelling paste.  

Once this was dry I added PanPastels.

I then took a script stencil and added more modelling paste.

When dry I replaced the stencil and added the Coarse White Pearl Panpastel which added an amazing shimmer.

I then added a few bits and bobs, the butterfly I made from air dry clay and coloured it with the yellow and orange PanPastels.

A bit of matting and layering, all finished.  I deliberately left the centre area clear so that the layers could be seen.

Well done if you stayed with me to the end.

PanPastels and Lovely As A Tree

I'm so late posting this, I can inky apologise, but we've been away to Ross on Wye for a friends birthday party.  This was his card!!!

I used lots of Pans and heavily shaded round the edges.  The stamp is from the Stampin Up Lovely as a Tree set.

My friend loved his card - phew!!!!

Thanks for dropping in xxxxx

PanPastels and Indigoblu Stamps

OToday I'm using all Indigoblu stamps for my project.  Firstly I stamped the large butterfly with Versamark and the used Wow Embossing Powder which is called clear sparkle.  Unfortunately sparkle never shows up well in photos.

The speckles around the butterfly were created by dabbing a Versamark pen onto the card and then dabbing with PanPastels and the sparkle powder.

I then used some lovely Friend stamps, also from Indigoblu, to finish off the project.  I love the BFF stamp - I only have a few BFF's but they are very special and know who they are.
