Alysha - Happy Fathers Day and time to play with your pans my first offering this week obviously has to do with Fathers Day and I have created a canvas using several shades of blue Pans and then created the heart, splattered paint and added a sentiment to it. This has been made as a gift from my daughter to her daddy.


My second offering is a Vintage Card using Permanent Red Pan Pastel in varying degrees of subtlety throughout the card  



So join us and let us see your projects for this week!
Hugs Aly xx


Terry: I had loads of fun altering a photoframe for my colleque. Remember the notebook with that stunning image in it? Well this is for her mother, she misses her girl that much, so I thought I would make a frame for her with her daughter in it. I did not make the image though, that was made by an artist. I made the frame. I started out with metall foil and embossed it. I added alcohol inks and loads of PanPastels on it and tried to make it look old. I think that worked out great, don't you think.....
So the background was done with lots of PanPastels, the inside was colored with PanPastels too, I worked with the Metallic PanPastels I just love them cause they give such a rich colour to your project, very nice shimmery colour. 
 
For decorations I used a butterfly die and embossed that one too with the Metall Foil. Than I just had to colour it with the Metallic Pans too....and last but not least I placed the Pennib on top of it.
You wanna see more pictures.....than I suggest you check out my blog just click my name and it will take you there.

I WILL ADD THE PRODUCTS TONIGHT with the Thumblinky

dt project we love to create for 5th June project 12


Terry, hey there guys, I made a Notebook for the daughter of my colleque, she is an intern in Costa Rica and now she has a little notebook where she can write her adventures in....the Front of the Notebook was made with Gesso, second layer is Light Modelling Paste.

I worked with a stencil to create the background.  The 3th layer is Crackle and after this was dry I worked on the Notebook with the White Coarse PanPastel and the Black Pearlescent Pan. What the crackle combined with PanPastel does is give the background a nice crackled look. You can see the tiny cracks they are filled up with the PanPastels.


This is the background. This was made the same way I did the front of the Notebook. With Gesso Light Modelling Paste and a stencil. Crackle on top and when that was dry I Painted Matt Gel Medium on top. So the last thing I did on the front was, place the drawing of  the girl and underneath the Costa Rica letters. They were stamped on paper and than I cut the letters out of the paper and placed them on the Notebook.
On the inside of the Notebook I stamped 2016, since it is the year 2016 when my colleques daughter is an intern and is going on a Journey to Costa Rica. 

The products that I worked with are:



Lou: I am in the process of making a project as a gift but can't say anything more as it's a surprise. However the project does require a box to keep it safe, so I created a bespoke box which will fit both my project and also to store some items my project will need.



I have decorated the box by first randomly sponging Maimeri white acrylic paint over all the outside and inside. After drying, I covered the edges with a mixture of raw umber and magenta pan pastels, stamping images from PCB postcard stamp set. A little more pan pastel and a bit more stamping with finally a dusting of soft gold pan pastel.


Please pop over to my blog to see a lot more photos explaining each step by step.

Claire C  I've used my PanPastels to stencil these roses using a Dutch Doobadoo stencil and given them some sparkle using Maimery Glassy Gel medium and micro beads


Here's a close up to show the sparkle


and here are the colours I've used






Tracy
Morning all, it's lovely to be here with you again this week. This week I have a page in my art journal which was created using a mix of watersoluble crayons and my beloved PanPastels


I sketched a very simple design in pencil first and then went in with PanPastels to colour all the areas. The colour went on very quickly and it didn't take long before I had a fully coloured page !!


I then went in with my watersoluble crayons and added some darker shading. Finishing off with some white acrylic and pen detailing !!
