PanPastel Challenge Blog - Challenge 24 - Anything Goes

Morning everyone, I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday so far, it's time for a new challenge to start over at the PanPastel Challenge Blog and this week our theme is Anything Goes. The winner will receive a fab PanPastel starter kit (colours may vary) from our regular sponsor Your Creativity Store



So as it's Anything Goes, I thought I would do something a little different





I have taken a cheap frame and coloured it using PanPastels, I  have then then used stamps from Tim Holtz and Creative Expressions to decorate the frame. Next I die cut some tickets using a  Tim Holtz die, coloured them with PanPastels and then stamped them using stamps from Kanban. Finally I  made my bow from white ribbon and added PanPastel colour to it using perfect medium I then sprayed it to fix it and heated with a heat gun until parts of the ribbon started to melt a little bit and harden (be careful if you try this lol I nearly set fire to my bow a couple of times it's a fine line between melting and burning)

As a finishing touch  I thought I would add a picture of my parents dog Bear who sadly is no longer with us but was the most loving animal you were ever likely to meet.

I would like to enter my frame in to the following challenges
