Here's a quick easy way to build up some layers and texture to your page


Using a large piece of light coloured scrap paper (we all have those )
swipe the pastel across (or down) the page fading it into the next depth of colour etc... PanPastel



Cut the paper into strips


Then into little square/rectangle shapes


THen by taking random colours, tuck around the photo. You could even line them up and place across the page for a mount for a photo too - plenty of options to experiment trying all sorts of ways to use the little pieces of paper


Products used:
Grey woodgrain paper
Blue tiny chevron paper (reverse side in shop)
Thickers - Darling 'Chestnut'
Grey bauble trim
Orange Blue and Cream Trim
Circle Garland

I LOVE those colour tones together Mandy - and they are just perfect for the photo - sometimes it is so hard to colour match a photo but this just works! Soon we wont be selling any PP you girls will be making all your own stuff

I love the colours. I might have to find some of that around here. I am finally getting basic inks for home instead going to Mum's so I can play more here at home.

Mandy, this looks amazing, you've shown us some amazing techniques with Pan Pastels... makes me think i need to replace mine ..... hmmmm
