Pan Pastels for Christmas 2015

Yes, I have a wonderful husband who supports me in all my artsy fartsy endeavors. He gave me the PanPastels for Christmas.

I was a little intimidated at first. But then I watch The Frugal Crafter on YouTube and gave it a whirl.

Below is my first foray in to Pan Pastel painting.

I'm not real impressed with the branches of my tree but I think as a first attempt I did a bit of alright!

Happy Bird-day

Today's card was created with the Craft Your Passion challenge #251 in mind -- Anything Goes.

I recently purchased the chalk board cs from SU! and the 3 chalk ink pads that coordinate. I stamped the Tiered Birdcage from Stampendous! with the Yellow Citrus chalk ink. Then I heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Added a jeweled flower from Jodie Lee Designs at Prima and a little banner from October Afternoon's Cakewalk Little Flyers. I matted the chalk board cs on a piece of craft cs then onto a piece of Coastal Cabana then onto my tangerine card base. With some white craft ink I smudged with a dauber just to give it that chalk smudged look. The sentiment is handwritten.

Hope you like my card. If you want to play along with the challenge you can jump over to the blog from HERE.
