This felt like
my hardest challenge. I couldn’t really think of any techniques for this one.
My mind has
been a little distracted this past two weeks with the diagnosis I got from my
knee operation, thankfully everything went ok. I will leave a short post about
my experience.
After racking
my brain I came up with this design. I thought 'right' just get some materials
out and go with it! My only problem is I want to use all my crafting stash all
at the same time; I have too many mediums to choose from! I'm sure there are
many of you out there with the same problem. No not problem but CHOICE.

Firstly
I applied metallic PanPastels to card, the card at first seemed too smooth and
the colour wasn’t as vibrant as I wanted but eventually I achieved a good
coverage, it did help when I switched my daylight lamp on and saw the shine!

I randomly
stamped the large rose with Versamark and brushed PanPastels over it, repeating
with a smaller rose and different colour of pastel.

In my
stash I had some shaped card so i used that for the quote. I applied Versamark
all over it then brushed on PanPastels but was left with lines where the pad
had been placed so using the splat/blot stamps I randomly stamped them all over
the card. I didn’t apply any PanPastels to these because as I stamped it pulled
some of the colour off and I liked the effect.

I
wrote the quote freehand.

Back
to the background, I randomly stamped splat/blot stamps with Versamark between
the roses. The stamps somehow managed to pick up some of the magenta PanPastels
so that when I stamped them on the card it left a faded purple look which I
actually really liked so left it like that. My Versamark pad is a little grubby
to say the least. I must have had it a few years now and it's still going
strong and I've used it loads of times.

I
ruffed up the edges of the background and quote and stuck the quote onto the
background.
