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!

Watercolor Crayon Roses

I am not sure what stamp this is as it was stamped and silver embossed and given to me. I colored the entire image with my Stampin' Up! WaterColor Crayons. I like the paintbrush to water, water to crayon, brush to image technique. This gives me more control of how much and where I want the color. Of course it is 11:17 p.m. and the light is not the greatest. I think I will try to take a picture in sunlight in the daytime. If I can get a good shot I will post it here below.

Ok I actually like the late night shot better. But at least in the sun you can see that the image was embossed in silver.
