Today the new challenge at PanPastels UK is about 'Gift Time' and I have created a gift to give someone at Christmas, I don't know who yet lol.
Using a Sizzix die I cut a note-let holder from greyboard and painted it with white acrylic paint. When it was dry I gently blended green, yellow and blue PanPastels to give a smooth background and sealed it.
I over stamped with various stamps using Versamark Dazzle embossing ink and gently patting pans over the top to create all the images. I sealed the covered stamped areas as I went along and gave a final spray at the end using a colourless fixative.
Now I have a tree present for Christmas day.
Don't forget you could win a set of PanPastels from 'Your Creativity Store'if you enter, so why not have a go?

ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your narrow metal tape or did you cut down wider tape? I bought mine (about 2½" wide) in a DIY store but would like some narrower.
