PanPastel Frame It

Thank you for popping on to my blog to take a look at my Frame It project for the PanPastel UK Challenge which starts today.  Thank you to all the entrants of the Pink, Pink and more Pink Challenge, yet again we had so many fabulous entries.

For this project I decided to make it tonal and used one PanPastel - Copper.  It's fascinating how you get different tones just by using different paper and mediums.

Here's a few photos of how it started.

Before assembling I crackle stamped Versamark into the box frame and dabbed with the PanPastel and I coloured the paper clay with the same copper PP before putting it into the little silicone frame mould. I also added a touch of Maimeri modelling paste through a stencil for a bit of texture. Two pics of my furry lads and all finished.

Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - More than one fold

It's my pleasure to host the Challenge over at Fussy and Fancy, starting today.  Thank you to everyone who takes the time to enter their fabulous work and well done to our talented winners.

My card for this project includes no stamping, ink or colouring!!  Probably a first for me.

It was refreshing to make something so different from my norm.  I've used lovely paper from my stash, border punch, corner punch, mirri card for matting and border peel offs.

Nature - Claritystamp Challenge

Congratulations to the winner and Top 5 of the Feminine Challenge - so many beautiful entries, it's very difficult to choose and fabulous that so many people take the time to create such wonderful pieces of art.

This months challenge is Nature - wow such a lot of wonderful Clarity Stamps and Stencils to choose from.

There is an amazing array of art work from the Design Team over on the blog HERE.

I loved making this project - it's quite different for me but incredibly enjoyable to make.

I took Brusho's, Centura Pearl card and the poppy Clarity Stamps.

I started by stamping and heat embossing the poppy stamps, after this I masked off the poppies and sprayed water onto the card which was uncovered.  I then sprinkled Brusho's on to the wet card and let it spread, I then sprayed a little more water on top to help it to mingle together.  I love the effect of Brusho's on Centura Pearl.

I coloured the poppies with Promarkers, quite roughly, and then went over it with a Promarker blender pen.

To finish off I stamped the thank you line stamp and joined it all together with a fine liner pen.

Thank you so much for popping over to my blog today, I appreciate all your comments.

Pink, pink and more Pink Inspiration

This is not my usual style of card but I made it to show several different ways to use OanPastels.

Firstly I covered the inside of an embossing folder with Versmark before embossing the harlequin card. Then I dabbed the PanPastel over the Versamark and then blended all over the piece of card.

I then heat embossed the stamped image and painted the flowers using PanPastel.  The flower is made of paper clay - you've guessed it - coloured with PanPastels!!!

Well done to the winner and top 3 of Bold and Bright - thank you so much for all the lovely entries.

Pink, pink and more pink - PanPastel Challenge

Morning everyone and welcome to my new followers, hope you enjoy following my crafty journey.

A new a Challenge today on the PanPastel blog and if you like Pink you'll love this!

I decided that there was no reason why xmas cards can't be pink, so decided to go with that theme.  Very clean and simple.  I used the stamp Lovely As a Tree for the main image.  I then added a "flying Santa and pink Stickles, very good card for batch making a xmas time.

It would be fabulous if you could pop over HERE to the Challenge page to take a look at the fabulous pieces created by the other lovely ladies in the Design Team.

Thanks for popping in xx

Panpastel Challenge -Bold and Bright

I got this stamp set for this challenge inspiration and it's rapidly become one of my favourite sets.

I used a selection of Panpastel colours and masked off either side the Versamark stamped image until I'd covered each individual area with it's own particular colour.  The splats I stamped with archival ink.

It's a very quick and simple card but I'm loving it.

Pop over to the Challenge to see the fabulous inspiration from my Deasign Team mates and why not join in, you could win a lovely prize, and it doesn't have to be complicated as you can see from my piece.
