PanPastel Summer Inspiration

I've made this small card as a thank you card to be sent to good friends for a wonderful evening spent at their house.

I've used Orange, Hansa Yellow and Permanent Red for the sunset background.  I stamped with Distress Ink and then, using a Versamark Pen, covered the bottle and glass and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I did this twice.

Well done to the winner and Top three of the Inspired by Tim Challenge.

Pop over to the Panpastel Challenge page to have a peep at the wonderful inspiration from my Design Team mates.

Summer Fun - PanPastel Challenge

I had so much fun creating this project!

All the PanPastel colours I used are listed below the picture of my project over on the PanPastel Challenge Page, you can also take a look at the fabulous projects by my Design Teamies while you're there.

We've had so much sunshine lately that I felt really inspired by "Summer Fun".  Have a go, we have a lovely mask and PanPastel for the randomly chosen winner.

Thanks for looking xx

Brusho Paints and Designs By Ryn

Wow I'm loving these paints and they work so well with Ryn's stamps.

Inspiration by Tim - PanPastels

PanPastels work brilliantly with embossing folders.  I made this topper to put on a card but the more I look at it I realise it would have made a great notebook cover.  The aim was to make it look as though it's been torn from a notebook.

The colours I used were: orange, Phthalo Green Shade and Magenta Shade - of course when these are blended together you get a rainbow of colours.

Why not join our Challenge, after all we have loads of Timmy stash.

Well done to the winners of the Roses Are a Girls Best Friend Challenge.

Visible Image

This is the card I made for my husbands very special birthday.  The main stamps are from the marvellous company Visible Image.

I would like to enter this into the Visible Image Challenge Blog.

Inspired by Tim Holtz - PanPastels

I have some amazingly exciting news to share with you this morning.  Nikky Hall and the fabulous PanPastel DT have invited me to join them on their Team.  I couldn't be more pleased and delighted to be a part of such a talented group and look forward to working with them all.

So on to the new Challenge starting today over on the PanPastel Challenge Blog - Inspired by Tim Holtz.  Now I can't think of a single crafty friend who hasn't been inspired by Tim, so you have no excuse for not joining in!  We have a PanPastel and a lovely mask for the winner and you can enter HERE.

This is my Tim Holtz offering for today and I hope you like it, I'm wanting to show that you can get that lovely blended background without using ink but by using PanPastels instead.  I even coloured my seam binding with matching PanPastels.

The colours I used along with stencils and stamps were:

Permanent Red, Phthalo Black Shade (through one of the masks), Yellow Ochre, Neutral Grey Extra Dark and Burnt Sienna Shade (around the edges of the tag and to colour the ticket).
