PREMIUM CRAFT BRANDS PANPASTEL UK CHALLENGE #13, Pick a Colour Palette .TUTORIAL ..

There ya go.....It is Sunday today, so you probably know what that means eh? Another fabby Challenge over at the 

Premium Craft Brands Challenge wohoooo ....

Our generous sponsor is Premium Art Brands and wow she has a fabulous prize for one winner 

Right then, on to this weeks challenge which is 
PICK A COLOUR PALETTE....

.....so you pick your colour and start crafting with them colours...I choose this one...

It is the Ranuncules Tones and has all these fabulous Purple, lavender and green tones in it. I just love this Colour Palette....if you click the colourpalette it will take you to the Design Seeds and there are loads of colour palette to choose from......

So what I did was...

I had these white flowers on a rope and thought how much fun it would be to make a Flower Mobile out of it.....

So I got the Dutch Doobadoo Masks and 6 different colours from the PanPastels.....I mixed some colours to get a lighter colour and the first layer for the flowers was offcourse Gesso.....after that I worked on the flowers with Light Modelling Paste and the DD Masks..... 

And this was the result of working on them with the Masks...a few different kinds to play with...and I did not use the WHOLE maks but just bits and pieces of them....

And this is the result of playing with the masks....offcourse they needed some colours....and I worked with the 6 colours of PanPastels....added some water to lighten it up a bit...and on top I played with Crackle....Had to wait a bit for letting them dry......

So here you can see it from upclose.....I like the result allready.....

So the front of the flowers were done and now the back needed some colours offcourse....So I played with a tool to add the colours and this is the result of that .......

Different colours stamped with the sentiment.....

Upclose for you to see the result of the stamped sentiments....In greens and purple colours.....

And when the crackle was dried up this gave such a fabby result to the flower. At least I think it turned out just the way I wanted it to be....

And some more examples on how the other flowers turned out, I just love the texture on them ....what do ya think...they look good or what? 

 
8 totally different flowers with 8 totally different designs...how about that eh? And you can hang em up the way you want it to be...one rope has 2 flowers on it, so you can hang them just the way you want.......

And another picture from upclose so you can see the designs on the flowers.....

And this picture was taken in the sunshine so the colours look a lot lighter then they are....but what do you think? You like this one.....I am pleased about it and had loads of fun working on them......

So you wanna have fun too and see what my fabulous teamies made for this week? Then you come over to the Premium Craft Brands PanPastel UK Challenge Blog and join into the fun...and fun is what your going to have and you even can win a fabulous prize

Our generous sponsor is Premium Craft Brands and wow she has a fabulous prize for one winner 

Right then, on to this weeks challenge which is 

                             'All about Paper and Card'

I have worked with a few Rosette dies and made a Christmas tree out of it, once upon a time I saw this fabby picture of Tim Holtz making HIS Christmas tree and I thought to myself why not try it out eh? 

So I have coloured the background of the tree with Versamark and Metallic PanPastels and a christmas sentiment stamp, this time the Golden and Silver Metallic PanPastels. 

As  you can see I placed some stars into the Christmas tree. I played with the Metallic Golden coloured Pans and I think it looks great don't you?

 I tried to show you all the sides of the Tree, so you get an idea how I made it.....I really had fun working on the tree. 

I know a REAL tree has lots of ornaments in it but this one is a small one and to fit all the ornaments in that would be an even bigger job lol.....I sure hope you like the cute tree and hopefully I am giving you some ideas and lots of inspiration on how you can make your own tree or make another project for this weeks challenge over at the Premium Craft Brands Challenge Blog....so come on over and do join into the fun and check out my amazing teamies and what fabulous projects they made....I am sure you are going to love them

PREMIUM CRAFT BRANDS CHALLENGE #46, Colouring Embellishments

it is Sunday so that means we have another fabulous NEW challenge over at the 

Premium Craft Brands Challenge wohoooo ....

So onto the challenge for this week, the theme is Mixing with fluids....and your gonna have fun I am sure of it......I had lots of fun making this.....

I had a word and that word is HOME and made out of MDF......and you can make some fabby creations with MDF....so what I did was....

The background of my MDF word HOME is worked on with Metall Foil which is embossed, 

So what I did was, when I placed the metall foil, I placed a amount of Versamark ink on top of it, this way the metallic PanPastels connect better on the metall foil. So I worked on the whole word and this is the result. Underneith the H I played a bit with a metall heart, on top crackle and last but not least the Metallic PanPastels.....and a piece of rope to finish.

On the O I did the same as the other letters but at the bottom a little butterlfy with a few pearls and yep Metallic Pans.... 

And a small butterfly underneith the M....don't you just loveeeee the Metallic PanPastels...they are so versatile I just love em...... 

And underneith the E.....another heart but this one looks a bit different because it has all these tiny hearts on it....same game.....worked on it with Crackel and Metallic Pans.....and to finish my word I used the Iridescent Paste to cover it all. 

So this is my finished project for this weeks challenge.....and I had loadsssssssss of fun....you wanna have fun too guys....then I suggest you come over to the Challenge Blog of Premium Craft Brands and join into the fun. And fun is what your going to have I am sure of it.....and don't forget to check out my teamies fabulous creations oke....

So now we go on to the challenge and this week the theme is....

Mixing with Mediums......

This is what I made....

I made a card .....it has been a long time since I made a card so I thougth why not.....

I worked on the background with Metallic PanPastels and Gesso with Iridescent Paste. On top another layer with Metallic Pans.and to finish the background I played with Crackle...

the flowers were made with Versamark Embossing ink and white embossingpowder. The background I made with the Metallic Pans and water, I love the effect it gives. 

The butterflies were worked on with Metallic Pans and Iridescent Paste. Do you see what the Irisdescent Paste does to the butterflies? It gives a nice shiny effect on them and together with the Metallic PanPastels is just looks great......I think....

So this is my finsihed card, I love the simplicity of it. I really like the effect the embossed flowers and the background of the flowers shows. Metallic PanPastsels really work on corrugated card and gives a very nice look even with Crackle on them.....so you can use Irisdescent Paste on lots of products too. I choose to work with the corrugated card and paper. If you want to know exactly HOW you can use the different mediums then you should check out the Challenge Blog for more information, you can find everything on the blogpost from Nikky. 

So here you can see the embossed flowers even better. And to finish my card I placed a piece of rope and some lace......So I had fun making my card, you wanna have fun too....then come on over to the Premium Craft Brands Blog and join into the fun and don't forget to sign up for the Candy that is up for grabs.....

Have loads of fun and don't forget to check out my amazing teamies and what they have made for you for your inspiration.
