And now for our Top 3, and my goodness what a difficult decision for the DT this week as there were soooooo many gorgeous entries

Well done ladies, don't forget to grab you Top 3 badges for your blog.

We've got some sad news before we start this weeks challenge, our lovely teamie Zoe is moving on to pastures new so I'm sure you'll join us in wishing her all the very best for the future and a big thank you for all your beautiful artwork.

Now, on to our new challenge, you can play along with our
Anything Goes
theme or if you are feeling adventurous you can join in with our DT who were challenges to
 use fabric/canvas coloured with PanPastels. 

They've created some stunning projects to inspire you

Claire  I've made a canvas with lots of texture. I began with Maimeri gesso coloured with lots of Permanent Red Tint and white PanPastel, I used my beloved Flower Curl stencil with Maimeri Iridescent Medium dusted with a little gold PanPastel next. I used Maimeri Matte Gel Medium to apply the doily and added another coat to protect it. The flower was made with die cut layers of netting and fabric, again coloured with Permanent Red Tint PanPastel, I also brushed on a little Matte Gel here and there and dusted on some glitter. The little flower in the centre was  made using Maimeri Light Modelling Paste in a silicone mould


Terry I worked on a canvas with lots of Gesso, Modeling Paste and the huge stencil from Premium Art Brands,  First I played with the Light Modelling Paste and waited for it to dry up. Then played with the Metallic PanPastels. The Butterfly was highlighted with Crackle Accents and on the bottom of the canvas I placed a rose in a vaze with a sentiment. 

Tracy - Hi everyone, today I have a little wish project to share with you all using the Barok Border Stencil.
It was so easy to pop together with the help of a few ingredients - Fabric, Maimeri Gesso & Matt Gel, PCB Barok Border Stencil, 2 Pan Pastels, stitching and words from an old book. Please stop by my blog to see more. xxx

Lou: I have done something a little different this week and that is to show you the first part and how I have used the different mediums and pan pastels to begin to create my project. Pop over to my blog to get all the details of how I have coloured on the material using these wonderful products.
