Card made with Pan Pastels

We have all the colours of Pan Pastels in the shop  and they are at the special price of £4.98 with FREE posting.

I have made this card with 2 shades of Pan Pastel. I stamped the main rose then masked it and overstamped another 2 roses. I coloured the background with with the Pan pastels. I used a rubber to remove any Pan Pastel that had gone over the roses leaving them white.Finally i added some stickles to the roses.

So we hope you will try them out.

What can you do with a chipboard book?

We have in stock various designs of chipboard books with book rings.
You might think that all you can do is ...make a book. But why not make a wall hanging?

 Here is one i made using just 3 of the pages of one of the books. (you get 4 pages with this book)

 I have used Mod Podge to adhere the Strictly Party papers to the chip board. I have then Used Mod Podge over all the paper to give it a sheen and seal it.

 The letters were die cut, embossed and then coloured with Pan Pastels, my new best friends!

 Flowers and leaves were die cut from various card and Pan Pastels used to colour them.

 The shimmer on the letters was created by brushing the Shimmer Mod Podge over it. In the Mod Podge starter pack you get 5 bottles- Sparkle, Original Gloss, Original Matte, Outdoor, and Paper Matte.

 The ribbon at the top here was cream originally and i coloured it with Pan Pastels.

 Why not have a go. If you can't fin any of the items used on the web shop then please ring us to order on 01902 716770


I will post another chipboard book tomorrow
Thanks for looking
