On the first card I stamped and embossed the feather with white ep. I then applied lighter colors of the Pan Pastels over the feather and background. I did use a bit darker PP in the center of the feather to make it pop a bit.
On my second card I stamped the feathers with Teal Zeal Memento Dye Ink. I added a few feathers to the background using Sky Blue ink. I then applied irRESISTible Pico Embellishers - Gold, Purple and Black over various parts of the feathers. Once that was dry I went over the feathers and background with various colors of Pan Pastels.

Hope you're all having a lovely week. I'm not so much...I've been having a though time of it lately. My youngest ds moved out into his own place on the 1st which I know is a good thing - it's just trying to convince my heart is kind of hard. We've always been close and I've just been missing him so much...talking to him in the evenings, sharing I-funnies, and just having him around. How do you do it? I've been trying to fill my time with other things but every once in a while I'm just sitting doing nothing and wishing he was there. I'm sure after a while I'll get used to it but for now... well, let's just say you should buy stock in Puffs.
Oh Roni, these are beautiful! I hope you'll take it as a compliment that I hope to CASE these.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so beautiful. You did a wonderful job with the pan pastels. They are so soft and pretty. I had a hard time when my daughter left and ended up having a breakdown, so I have no suggestions for you except to stay strong. Good luck to both of you.
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING!! Roni, I love your artwork, so inspiring. I am always looking for ways to use my pan pastels.
ReplyDeleteFirst off I want to say what you have been feeling about your son leaving home is normal when mother and child has a close bond. Lol! I know if my late husband hadn't of accepted a transfer to another state my son's room would have stayed exactly as it was when he left. After my son left I immersed myself in cleaning. My house has never been as clean since.
ReplyDeleteI love your use of the pan pastels. The second card is my favorite. That background really makes the other colors pop. I don't own any pan pastels yet but thinking of doing this with pan chalks. Lol! I guess also that I should go ahead and purchase that feather stamp as I was sitting on the fence before trying to be good. Of course since shipping is the same whether I buy one stamp or a few more you know I'll have to buy more. Thank you for sharing and for enabling me. :-) Have a wonderful weekend.
These cards are gorgeous Roni! I felt the same way when my daughter got married and moved out! Big hole in my heart. She pops in twice a week after her Karate classes so I am not totally deprived. Maybe you can convince your son to come to dinner once a week. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThese are both soooo pretty!
