Now back to our new challenge and our DT have got some beautiful projects to inspire you ...

Terry: I had fun making a Tag, The first layer on the background is Gesso, I played with a couple of PanPastels with purple and blue colours to create the background. I mixed the PanPastels with water to let the colour spread all over the Tag. I worked with a stencil of flowers and crackle and right after that I was finished with that,  I colored a butterfly with the same colours PanPasels. Last but not least I stamped some sentiments and placed them on the Tag.

Challenge 3 Anything Creative Mixed Media Goes

Good morning crafters and welcome to our brand new challenge!! We'll be announcing the winners from Challenge 2 next week so don't forget to pop back. As usual our theme for the next two weeks is

  Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes

You don't have to use our products to enter (but of course we love it when you do) and we've got some lovely crafty stash for our lucky winner thanks to our generous sponsors Premium Craft Brands

The challenge will run for two weeks so you've plenty of time to play along.

As usual our talented DT have been working some mixed media magic to inspire you so let's have a look what they've been up to this week

Claire C I've altered an MDF heart for this weeks project, using lots of my favourite products from Premium Craft Brands. I've used Panpastels on Clearly for Art film to create wings for my butterfly, love love love this effect :-)

I stamped my butterfly wings on Clearly for Art film with versamark and applied Magenta Extra Dark PanPastel with a Sofft tool. I cut them out and stuck them to a Stampbord domino that I'd coloured with the same PanPastel. I adore the Extra Dark pans, they look a bit dull in the pots  but once you start using them they are lush, some really gorgeous rich colours!

PanPastel Magenta Extra Dark	Magenta Shade Pan Pastel	White COARSE Pearl Medium for PanPastels	Metallic Pan Pastel, Pewter	Stampbord Assorted sizes
PanPastel - Sofft Tools Kit	Dutch Doobadoo Softboard Art Honeycomb

Lou: I decided to create a canvas using mediums, stencils and off course pan pastels. I thoroughly enjoyed my messy time as I had no plan and just went with the flow ...

I created my background in different layers using Maimeri paste and adding colour using pan pastels. Shadows were created using black medium pan pastel. I added even more layers to my canvas (not shown in photo below) but the different stages can be seenon my blog.

I even used my pan pastels to water colour my stamped images, I love the rich colour depth you can achieve even though you have water coloured the images.

Even more photos, with step by steps can be found on my blog.
