Pan Pastels and Inks all the way



Today we are off on our holiday and the taxi will be collecting us at 7am for the trip to Southampton to embark the ship, so this is a bit of a heavy post with not only my usual Saturday Allsorts share, but also those for Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More. I decided it might make sense if I posted the Sunday challenges a day early so I could check them out whilst on dry land as I refuse to pay the exorbitant on board wifi charges.

Tracy has chosen this weeks Allsorts theme of Favourite Things and at Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More it's 'Anything Goes'.......ooooops how did that happen I wonder, clearly I wasn't thinking when these were decided but at least it offers you all the opportunity to double up.

Well there was no thinking to do for my Allsorts piece really, it had to be Penny Black stamps, Dylusions and distress inks, my perfect idea of crafty fun. After spraying the reverse of a piece of Centura Pearl with Dylusions and Glimmer Mist pearl I stenciled the sun rays and then the Penny Black stamps, Red Tango......not sure I have actually done these Poppies in red yet but Himalayan ones work fine for me.......and Daisy Fields, a pretty old stamp but a real fav and the best part about both are they are wood mounted.........call me old fashioned but I far prefer them to the modern unmounted ones.


My Stamping Sensations piece is a little Country scene created with some masking and Pan Pastels, a mixture of Sutter, Inkylicious and Stamp Addcits stamps and a bit of highlighting with watercolour pencils.


And finally my Penny Black piece using the Bashful die.................I know yet again but I really am loving these new Penny Black dies and so many are an identical match to some of my old wood mounted stamps as with this one. The background is Pan Pastels, the sun rays sponged with Adirondack ink and the daisies stamped with the same and distress markers for the stems, the die cut daisies are coloured with PP's and a PB sentiment.

Happy weekend to you all.

    Three different cards and all say the same; looks like you had so much fun making these! So many techniques and materials I like to work with too, so I couldnot pick a favo, or maybe the first card... Hope you have a great vacation and come back with the needed energy for the time after it! Hugs, Gerrina

    Mir gefallen alle sehr, besonders aber das mit dem türkisen Island-Mohn. Da gefällt mir die Farbzusammenstellung extrem gut.
