Premium Craft Brands challenge

I hope you are all having a good weekend. I'm here today with my DT make for the Premium Craft Brands challenge blog. The challenge theme is Florals.
Here is my make

For the background I have used the Dutch Doobadoo Mask/Stencil Art A5 - Flower Swirl. I went around the stencil with a black pen to make the design pop more. I then used the Magenta Extra Dark Pan Pastel through the mask just around the edges. I then use the Magenta Pan Pastel and went a little further in the stencil. Finally for the middle of the stencil I used the Orange - Pan Pastel. I took the mask away and went around the edges with the Black Pan Pastel. I then painted over the background with Maimeri Glassy Gel.
I covered some die cut flowers with the same Pan Pastels and then painted over them with Maimeri Iridescent Paste for added sheen. Finally I stamped the frame and message from the Premium Art Brands Roses stamp set.

Memories of the Maldives

I'm here today with some mid challenge inspiration for the Premium Craft Brands Blog. The challenge set last week was to pick a colour palette. Here is my chosen colour palette

I chose this colour palette as it reminded me so much of my Maldives holiday. Oh how I wish I was back there right now! Anyhoo, onto my project, here it is.

It started out life as a plain cardboard door hanger. I started by covering it in a layer of white Gesso and letting it dry (I used a heat gun to hurry it on). I then placed the Doobadoo Flower Swirl stencil over it. I mixed the Ultramarine Blue Pan Pastel with some Maimeri Light Modeling Paste and used it in random places over the stencil. I then did the same with the Turquoise Pan Pastel, and then the Permanent Green Pan Pastel. Finally I covered the whole thing with Maimeri Glassy Gel to make it look wet like the ocean. I then layered up some spiders web, a wide ribbon and a narrow ribbon and tied them around the centre. I then cut a set of flowers out of the Tattered Lace Lavish Blooms. I coloured the flowers with the same Pans and then coated them with Maimeri Iridescent Paste. I was just wanting to give them a different look but the paste made them really pliable and lots easier to curl and mold into shape. I can see me using this lots more now!
