The image is from The Graphics Fairy. I have used all scraps from my box to add the collage pieces. Underneath the background has numerous layers - music paper, paint and ink, pastels, versamark with masks and more pastels, various stamps and satin glaze. The flowers have been made using a marianne die and for the butterflies I used a crealies die.
This is the piece that I came home and experimented with after buying the Pan Pastels from Lin on Sunday. The colours are vibrant and translucent and give a completely different feel to the DIs I always use. I want to experiment more with textures and other resist techniques. (I just need some more time at the moment!!!!)
I have discovered that there is a brand new challenge blog starting for this product - PanPastel UK Challenge, so I am going to enter it into their first challenge - Anything Goes. The four colours used were Magenta, Turquoise Shade, Raw Umber and Yellow Ochre. I love the mixes they give.
Other challenges to have fun with -
Crafty Ribbons - Anything Goes
Pals Paper Arts - Lace
PolkaDoodles - Distress it
My Craft Spot - Ribbon
Creative Stamp Friends - Anything but a card
Well we are supposed to be getting a heat wave this week in the UK - how strange our seasons are at the moment because we are then predicted snow in October - really can't believe that!!!
Have a great week everyone.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
