Pan Pastel Tree

This is another card I did for the workshop on Saturday, using Pan Pastels with a lovely Dreamweaver stencil



 

I used Pan Pastels to do both the background and

the main image.

• Tear a piece of white linen effect cardstock, so it is a bit bigger than the stencil
• Place the Cypress Tree stencil in the centre of the card and emboss (I use a Grand Calibur)
• Remove the stencil and using a pale colour Pan Pastel, colour the centre area, it is easier to do this now rather than later
• Replace the stencil and sponge some Versa Mark ink through the gaps
• Leave the stencil in place, then sponge a mixture of green, brown and red pan pastels through the gaps
• Lift the stencil and shade round the edges with pan pastels
• To create the 'ground' tear a piece of paper and place it so you can add shade under the bark of the tree
• Remove the paper and fix with hairspray
• Mat on to a torn piece of white linen cardstock, then onto green and finally the white base card
• Add card candy
• There you have it - a nice simple card!
• Enjoy your weekend xx
