Hugs Aly xx



Claire C I've made a little canvas using lots of my favourite shades of PanPastels, you can find all the details on my blog






Terry: I have altered a couple of transparant bottles into a Vintagy looking decoration. The first layer of the bottle was made with Gesso, second layer paint, another Gesso layer and Paint, Last layer I worked with that looks like an Ice Crystal when it is dried up...The sentiment are a few wooden letters that were worked on with Gesso, white coarse and the Ice Crystal. Last but not least I wrapped some rope around the bottle with bells on it. A few branches with glitter in the bottle and my decoration bottles are ready to go.....

Now back to business and the DT girls have been busy bees making some gorgeous projects to inspire you:

Alysha ~ Hi there this week I have created a card using Polkadoodles Papillon Stamp Set and coloured in with pink Pan Pastel I have used a mask with pan to create the flowers in the background, added ribbon and gems and voilla hope you like. hugs Aly xxx




Terry; I had fun altering a photoframe, the frame is made with Gesso, After the Gesso was dry I played with the Roses stencil with Modelling Paste. I made a couple of layers like this to get some 3D effect. After each layer I worked with the Metallic PanPastel to give my project this "old" look. 
The last layer on the frame that I used was the Gel Medium to seal the Metallic Pans. For the centre of my frame I played with some stencils to create a vintagy background. I worked on the butterflies with Metallic Pans and crackle and another layer of Gel Medium. Last but not least I stamped a sentiment and devided it onto the frame. Would you like to see more pictures, than I suggest you click my name, it will take you to my blog. 

The products that I have been working with are:

 


Claire I love the Permanent Red PanPastels, they are so rich and vibrant. I've used them to alter this little MDF Toadstool house and added stamping and die cuts from Polkadoodles


Here are links to the products I've used:
