Good morning, Sunday and the last day of my week off so I'd better make the most of it. Before I go and play in my craft room here are my projects for this weeks challenge at PanPastel Challenge where out theme is 'Metallics', as ever there's a fab prize from our generous sponsor Your Creativity Store and lots of inspiration from my talented teamies so hop on over to the challenge bog and check out all the details.
For my DT project I've had a play with my Pans and a couple of old picture frames
For my DT project I've had a play with my Pans and a couple of old picture frames
I began by covering the picture frames using versmark and added lots of metallic PanPastels and a smidge of Magenta Extra Dark here and there too. I've also made a couple of pictures to pop in the frames by colouring crackle medium with Gold PanPastel and stamping around the focal images with versamark and applying more PanPastels. The stamps are from Indigo Blu, stamped with versafine and the butterflies have been stamped on acetate backed with gilding flakes
To finish off I've added some tiny pearls to the butterflies
I'm entering these projects in the following challenges:
A Vintage Journey: say it with words
Add a little dazzle: frames/anything goes
Altered Eclectics: Anything goes
Artistic Stamper: letters words and numbers
Creative Corner: a little texture
Kitty Bee Designs: things with wings
Rhedd's Creative Spirit: altered art
Rhedd and Rosies's: aged/distressed
Sisterhood of Crafters: sentiment as focal point
Well I'm away to play in my craft room now so have a great day and thanks for visiting today

What a great way to reuse old frames. I love what you've done with these Claire, and the amazing work you do with Pan Pastels.

Lovely Can I ask - do the frames need a varnish or some kind of fixative to keep the Pans from coming off, please.
