Let's have a look what our talented teamies have created 

Anjie I hope you are all having a good weekend. I'm here today with my DT make for the Premium Craft Brands challenge blog. The challenge theme is Florals. Here is my make


For the background I have used the Dutch Doobadoo Mask/Stencil Art A5 - Flower Swirl. I went around the stencil with a black pen to make the design pop more. I then used the Magenta Extra Dark Pan Pastel through the mask just around the edges. I then use the Magenta Pan Pastel and went a little further in the stencil. Finally for the middle of the stencil I used the Orange - Pan Pastel. I took the mask away and went around the edges with the Black Pan Pastel. I then painted over the background with Maimeri Glassy Gel. I covered some die cut flowers with the same Pan Pastels and then painted over them with Maimeri Iridescent Paste for added sheen. Finally I stamped the frame and message from the Premium Art Brands Roses stamp set.

Claire C I've created a tag using PanPastels and the gorgeous new stamps that Nikky has designed for Premium Craft Brands (did you see them on C&C??)


I've done lots of versamark stamping and added colour with my PanPastels I've also used PanPastels to distress all the edges and to watercolour the roses. I've added some of my favourite Dutch Doobadoo embellishments too, Softboard Honeycomb, Laser cut butterflies and buttons.

Terry I have created a Mothersday card with a babypicture on it, yep that is me...lol...so I made this card for my Mom and worked on the background with papers, Softboard Honeycomb, swirls from DD, hearts from DD some lace and a sentiment. Lots of flowers were used and a little butterfly on the flower.

Lou: I have been collecting empty coffee cans with a view to alter them and this week have bitten the bullet. I have embossed the papers with the Crysanthemum stencil and then added Maimeri irreidescent paste on top for added depth and texture. All the papers have been highlighted with magenta and soft gold pan pastels.


I have also used the new range of stamps from PAB, colouring my images with Magenta or aw umber pan pastels. Even the diecut flower was embossed first, then coloured and finally cut out. Loads more photos and details are over on my blog.
