Right back to our new challenge,  let's see what beautiful makes our DT have created this week...

Alysha ~ Here I have used a Tatty Twinkles image and created the background using Pan Pastels through some masks. Hugs Aly xx

Terry: I had so much fun playing with this canvas, I have used gesso for the background and played with crayons to give it some color. I worked on a stencil with babywipes to let the colors dissapear from the background. This way I made sure you can all see the fabby roses. Last layer for the background is White Coarse to give it a bit of a shine..... For decorations I played and colored a bunch of butterflies. They have these vibrant colors which I love. The last layer that I worked with is a Gell Medium to cover it all. 

Some of the products that I have worked with are:"

Gesso

Matt Gel Medium

White COARSE Pearl Medium for PanPastels

Claire C I've used Pans to colour my image and to create my background. You can find all the details on my blog

Turquoise Pan Pastel

Bright Yellow Green Pan Pastel

White Fine Pearl Medium for Pan Pastels

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:

Gesso	Metallic PanPastel Set	Copper Panpastel	PanPastel Rich Gold Metallic	Maimeri Light modelling paste
Mask Stencil A4 Butterfly

 

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:

Permanent Red Extra Dark	Permanent Red Shade	Permanent Red	Burnt Sienna	Burnt Sienna Tint
Little Kingdom - Stamp Soup, Polka Doodles	Polka Doodles Elegant Lamplight
