 Hello all, Nataliya is here :)
I think you have already seen how steep PanPastel! I'm just crazy about them, really :) I was most impressed by the ability to use it with VersaMark - the effect is simply incredible! And with PanPastel, VersaMark and, of course, stamps VLVS! I made a card about how important to dreaming.

Look how chic background turned out! I just toned it using Violet & Permanent Red Tint PanPastel.

And this is another piece of background. Here you can see how PanPastel allocates pattern made ​​using textured paste.

And my VLVS!

PANPASTEL Mini Album Cover

Up for today during our Pan Pastels Feature is Tera Callihan!! 

Hello Everyone! It's Tera here again. 

Today I want to share a fun mini album I created using PANPASTELS to create a beautiful marbled background with ease!

To start I sized up the stamps tat I wanted to use on my 4x4 Mini 

I used: 

Stamps:

Diver In Suit 1 1/2 x 3

Sunken Anchor 2 x 1 1/2

Not All Who Wander 3/4 x 2 1/2

PANPASTELs in: 
560.1 Phthalo Blue Ex.Dark
921.5 Pewter

Next I stamped the Diver In Suit 1 1/2 x 3 on the left side and prepared a "mask" of him that I will use to cover the areas I don't want to overlap

After the mask was placed I stamped the Sunken Anchor 2 x 1 1/2 slightly overlapping the "mask" of the Diver

  

Next I sponged the PANPASTEL in  Phthalo Blue Ex.Dark over the front of the album as well as along the spine

Next,  I colored the Diver with my gray marker, then sponged PANPASTEL over the top to add a beautiful shade and shimmer. I also colored the stone and grass with markers to help them pop

Stamp the quote "Not all who WANDER are LOST."  on a separate piece of card stock then cut out

Use the Blue PANPASTEL to edge all of the cut out pieces so that they stand out from the background

Use your favorite adhesive to glue the quote to the cover.

Finish off with eyelets and your favorite cord 

Enjoy your finished piece!!! 

Stamping with Pan Pastels {with technique video}

Our 2nd post today is brought to you by Amy Lassiter and she's stamping with a paste made from her PanPastels -- CHECK IT OUT!

 

Hello stampy friends! It's Amy here today,to share a layout I created using some fun techniques with Pan Pastels AND Viva Las VegaStamps! It was so fun to play with a new medium, and to create something a little bit out of my box in style. :)

I used the Pan Pastels both wet and dry. I had fun finding a few techniques, that were easy and gave a big impact at the same time. The vibrant colors were great to blend and layer, and I used them all over the page, to give the paint splash look, as well as to stamp with!

For the wider sections of the page that are covered in color, I used the sponge wand, and gently blended colors from the inside out. Between each layer I added, I sprayed the page with Fixative to keep the pastels from flaking off. As you can see in my video below, even after using the pastels wet(which makes for a great texture relief), the fixative keeps it all in place. I could even stamp with black and blue ink over the top,as well as draw and blend (using water) with Aquarelle without smudging the pastels.

Have a look at the quick video I created to show the stamping technique I used with the Pan Pastels:

 If you'd like to see how I created a chalky type texture "paint splatter....." head over HERE to watch that video.
Thanks so much for having a look today....and give Pan Pastels a try, you may find a new medium you love (like I did!)

Day three already of our PanPastels feature! Today we're starting off with MARY BROCKWAY!

Hello!  Mary here, with a picture frame I've jazzed up with a few of my favorite VLVS images and Pan Pastel.

This frame started it's life as raw wood.  I gave it a nice coat of flat white paint and then stamped the Gnome, Butterfly Specimens and 'pure' from the Pure Imagination images in StazOn black ink.

I then blended Magenta and Hansa Yellow PanPasel onto my frame and sprayed it with a clear sealant to keep the pastels in place.  I LOVE the areas where they blended together to create that lovely coral color!!

Finally, I embellished with black thread, white twine, gems and a large heart-shaped stone that my baby girl gave me.  A bit of splattered white paint softened everything.

Ok, that's it for me!  Be sure to pop in tomorrow for more PanPastel and VLVS inspiration.

xx Mary

Viva Las VegaStamps & Pan Pastels!

And 2nd today for our Pan Pastels Feature is the superbly talented Glenda Tkalac!

Ok, how exciting was this?? We were given some yummy pan pastels to play with and it was my first time playing with them, I was a Pan Pastels virgin!! haha I decided that I wanted to do two projects using the uber fabulous Running lady stamp

She looks exactly how I've been feeling lately so I decided to do an art journal page using her as well as these other fab stamps, the film strip stamp

and the one way stamp

and the one way small stamp

and the pylon stamp

and last but not least the arrow stamp

First of all I took a brick wall stencil and then sprayed it and then laid it onto my journal page and pressed evenly so I only got some of it (and yes I had to enjoy a nice cold beer while doing this)... also forgive the dim pics as I was playing at night!

 Then I took some of the orange pan pastel and used the sponge tool and colored when I wanted orange.

 Now it was time for placement! I had stamped the running lady stamp onto plain white cardstock and then cut her out and placed her where I wanted her, and then used black shimmerz to create a black cloud above her ('cause that's how I'm feeling lately!)

 then I got all kinds of other fun stuff as well as the cut out stamps and glued them onto my journal page.

 and here is my finished journal page!

I also made an ATC using the running lady stamps and pan pastels.  Here are the materials I used

 Once I glued the papers I wanted together onto a 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 piece of white cardstock I then took a stencil and placed it on top of the papers, and then using the sponge rubbed the orange pan pastels where I wanted it and sprayed a clear coat fixative onto it so the pastels wouldn't rub off

 I also had a rub on that was really old and crappy and wouldn't rub on so I taped it onto the card using clear tape and then glued the running lady onto the card, smudged the edges using staz on ink and voila! Here is my ATC.

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I used these stamps as well as the Pan Pastels and until next time!

PANPASTEL The color of the soul...

Our 2nd Pan Pastels post today comes from the super talented Tina Walker! 

Hello and Welcome to another day of sharing inspiration with VLVS and PanPastel.

Tina Walker here today with an Art Journal page that speaks to me at the core of my being.

Quite often, my Art Journal pages are inspired by a favorite quote or idea.   For my project today, my inspiration came from the bright, colorful PanPastels I was going to create with.

To build my page, I cut a Pyramid Shaped template with my Silhouette Cameo to use as a guide for coloring with my PanPastels.

Once each square was colored with PanPastels, (keeping the template in place), I randomly stamped using 'Color Wheel Lines'.  (This is one of my favorite stamps!)

I then randomly colored within each stamped image with markers and pens, adding a bit of doodling here and there.

Once I was happy with each colored square, I finished my reverse pyramid with more doodling and color.

I had originally left the outside white, but really wanted the color to POP, so I painted the outside of the pyramid with a grey PanPastels.  Happy!

I found an inspiring quote to reflect my thought on color and added it below the pyramid.

Using Stamps with PanPastels is one of my favorite techniques.  They work beautifully together.

Be sure and stop by tomorrow for another amazing project!

Tina
