This is not at all craft related.

I'm really hoping that tomorrow this little man is coming home with me.

Bold and Bright - PanPastel Challenge

A new Challenge today for the PanPastel fans amongst you!

This is my little bit of inspiration for this week.  The flowers have been sprayed with Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle which not only blings the up, it also acts as a fixative for the PanPastels.  Spray and a Shine works in the same way too.

After adding paper string, a few pearls and a little tag on the side the project is finished.

You can enter the Challenge and have a look at the superb projects by my teamies HERE.

Glitter Tag

This tag was amazing fun to make.  For the background I took a black tag and brushed on Diamond sparkle medium - I was surprised when it came out blue toned!

When the tag was dry I embossed it with a Tim Holtz Texture Fade.

The flowers were cut out with Sizzix dies and covered with PanPastels and Stickles.  For the centre of the flowers I used Black Distress Glitter.

The butterfly I made a while ago using the Caught in Crystal technique.

Chit chats to finish.

Fussy & Fancy Friday Challenge - Bingo Board

From the Bingo Board I chose the two lines - Pearls, swirl, flowers and stitching, lavender and lace.

On the flower and swirls I also used clear Wink of Steallar to give them a lovely sheen.

Brusho's and Goosebumps!!

This page was done just for fun!!!!  Not something I've done for ages.  I thought it would be really exciting to spray the watercolour paper with Goosebumps before adding the Brusho's crystals.

I found it really relaxing.

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.
