Alysha - Happy Sunday! Its time to get your Pan Pastels out and make something for our fortnightly challenge. This week I have made a card using Violet and White Pan Pastel, I have used a couple of masks for building up the background, White gel pen for accents then stamped out the dragonfly and added a sentiment - I then matted and layered onto a card.Looking forward to seeing your creations this fortnight, hugs Aly xx



Claire C I've used my PanPastels  to create this card using some gorgeous new stamps from Polkadoodles






Terry I had lots of fun altering a square box, the background was made with Gesso and I played with an ABC stencil and Light Modelling Paste. I worked with Pearlescent PanPastels and the colour this time was pinkish and brown. A bit darker brown was used on top of the letters on the background. All around the borders I placed a piece of lace. On top of the box I glued some hearts. I placed some rope around the hearts and glued them on top of eachother. Last but not least I colored a little butterfly and put it near the hearts. If you wanna see some more pictures just click on my name and it will take you to my blog where you can see some more pictures. 


Some of the products that I worked with are:




Lou: I have used my pan pastels to alter a frame I found in a charity shop for 10p. Stamped images are from Polka Doodles. More details are on my blog.

Congratulations ladies awesome artwork!!! To celebrate why not help yourselves to a 
Top 3 badge for your blogs.

Back to our new challenge and it's time to check out the beautiful artwork from the DT ...



Terry: I altered a heartshaped box for a coworker, she wanted something to put money in for a cousin's birthday So I thought I alter a heartshaped box. I worked on the background with lots of Purple PanPastel and white Coarse.



I worked with the honeycomb stencil and played with Light Modelling Paste. 


On the top of the box I created a flowerarrangement of roses and lots of different flowers. I colored the flowers with the Dark Purple PanPastels and dipped them into Glossy Accents to give them an icey look. Sprinkeled some White Coarse Pearlescent Pan on top and finished my flowerarrangement with some Dutch Doobadoo Butterflies.....


The inside of the box is also colored with White and Purple and Lavender colors of PanPastel. Hope you like my project. If you wanna see more pictures you can find them on my blog, just click my name and it will take you there. 

I worked with: 




Alysha ~ This week I have a little 7x5 canvas to share I have used various colors of  Pan Pastels.
I have stamped the butterfly stamp over the colors and then covered in Versamark and clear embossed twice. The stamps on the canvas background are from the Brand New Absolute Vintage stamps set from Polkadoodles. Looking forward to your creations this week,
hugs Aly xxx



Lou: This is the 2nd part of my box that I created several weeks ago, (see HERE) and I have used the same backing card design to create a mini album. Full details of how I created my backing card can be found on the previous post. This is the album inside the box and on the other side are some postcards I created, backing papers and other embellies.


Close up of the album ...


All the inside pages, pockets etc can be found on my blog along with a You Tube video ....!
