Pan Pastel week 41 UK challenge

I have recently started using Pan Pastels and have fallen in love with the metallics so thought I'd enter their challenge. This challenge is "Falling Leaves" and here is what I have created.

For the background I mixed some Pan Pastel  with some Gesso and put in on through a leaf mask. I then used a gold, copper and bronze Pan for the background and then went over the leaves again with the green to make them stand out a bit more. I then printed some leaves from the Bonbon Belles Double CD and some trees and acorns from the Cherryblossom Lane CD. I added some copper Pan to the leaves and trees to give them a look of Autumn. I'm really please with how this turned out.

Graph' It marker challenge, week 16

There's a new challenge over at the Graph' It Markers blog and it is to use greys so I am entering this card. The image is from the new My Craft Studio 6th Anniversary 10 CD collection and of course is coloured with Grey Graph' Its. The colours I used are from the Warm Grey collection, 9405, 9404, 9403 & 9402. The background is created with the A4 leaves stencil, Maimeri Glassy Gel and the permanent Green Shade - Pan Pastel which you can get by clicking on the links or go to Polka Doodles to browse for more options and colours.

 

I'm really loving using the Pan Pastels as I am new to them, but will be building up my stock for sure!

A few cards and some candy!

I've finally had a chance to play some more with the fabulous Home for Christmas CD Collection from Polka Doodles and have made a couple of cards.

I have to say I LOVE these cards and will make sure they go to someone special. The images and papers are all from the CD. I've used my Graph 'It Markers to colour the images, I just love the blues and pinks, this is one of my fave colour combos for Christmas cards.

Now, have you seen the fantastic candy up for grabs on the Pan Pastel blog? No, then pop over to here and have a look. Just look at all those goodies,  which are worth over £120!! WOW - that is a LOT of stash!!

Good luck everyone!
