PanPastel UK #38 ....

 Morning everyone .... there's  a new challenge over at PanPastel UK, this week we are focusing on "All About The Sentiment/Quote".

Be sure to stop by and see what the other design team members have created for this weeks theme.

To be in with a chance of winning a trial set of PanPastels courtsey of our sponsor, click HERE to read the entry rules.


For my project this week I started out by covering a 5x7 canvas board with an old book page. I then covered the text with a thin layer of Gesso before applying PanPastels in the following colours - Ultramarine Blue Tint, Ultramarine Blue & then shading areas with Magenta. I then used Ultramarine Blue through the Dots & Borders stencil. I then applied Permanent Red through the Large Heart stencil. I then stamped the chicken wire image from Tim Holtz (Mixed Media set) in Archival Ink (Jet Black).


One of my favourite quotes is from Tim Holtz's (Word For Thought) stamp set which I stamped onto cream cardstock and then cut out. I then punched some circles from the leftover book page, coloured with Orange & Turquoise Blue PanPastels, adhering with Matte Medium then outlining with a Black Posca Pen.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment to let me know you've been here. 
 
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
