PanPastel Postcard

Good morning lovelies !!

Glad to be here with you today with my latest design for the 'Premium Crafts Brand' design team

This week we are all creating postcards using our delicious PanPastels and what's more all of the postcards will be given away as prizes this week.....

Wahoo !!!!!


For my postcard I have used the following PanPastel colours.....

Violet
Magenta
Permanent Red Tint
White
Coarse Black

I blended the colours from the lightest in the centre to the darkest around the edges and used a sponge tool to blend between colours. 

I added some stamping to the background in black and also stencilled through a Tim Holtz stencil with coarse black PanPastel. 

Next I added some Dina Wakley turquoise acrylic paint and painted in some circles, outlining each with Rangers black fudeball pen and doodling inside with a white signo gel pen. 


Next I stamped with Tim Holtz magnificent butterfly stamp (I loooooove him !!!) and added some of the turquoise acrylic and white gel pen to the wings. 


I used the coarse black PanPastel to add shadows around the painted circles and butterfly and then finished off with Tim Holtz rubons 

Thank you all for stopping by and if you want to be in with a chance to win this postcard then please leave a comment below to be entered into the draw. 

Bright and painty hugs 
Tracy

    This is gorgeous. I bought some pan pastels ages ago, and have been reluctant to try them. I will get them out and have a go! Thank you.xx

    Awesome! The layering of stamping and painting and more is gorgeous. I'll have to try that. Do you seal the pan pastels before stamping, drawing, painting? Thx.

    Our family sees the butterfly as a symbol of a loved one we have lost. We associate the butterfly with Karla and as a consequence we collect all things butterfly. This stamp is fab and so is the card. The colours are just yummy and the detail is very interesting. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase the stamp in the U.K? My on-line search is only throwing up U.S sites. Thanks, Maxine
