Prima and PanPastels...A 'Graceful' Combination

Happy Friday all, we have a creative project tutorial by Trudi Harrison, showing a creative way on how to use PanPastels with Prima's products.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a project to share created with the beautiful Fairy Belle Collection.  Layers of  hand cut elements and paper strips from the Fairy Belle patterned papers have been combined with pretty Prima blooms.

Cotton Tape, Masks, PanPastels, and Texture Paste have been used to first alter the background.

To recreate a similar effect:

Start with the Fairy Belle 'Marcelle' Patterned Paper as the base - I used the reverse side

1. Attach strips of Cotton Tape vertically and horizontally over the area where the main design elements and photo will be featured. Cut them at different lengths and stagger them.
Prima Cotton Tape is already adhesive backed which makes it quick and easy to attach.

2. Lay a large Prima Swirl Mask over the top the attached tape - I used the Prima 12 x 12 Mask #545628

3. Apply Texture Paste over the top of the mask. Remove Mask and allow to dry.

4. With a 'Sofft Art Sponge, add some colour to the Texture Paste with PanPastel. 

A light application of Yellow Ochre Tint was first applied. Highlights of Turquoise and Permanent Red were added. A round sponge bar was used to apply the PanPastel.

If the color was too intense for my liking, I was able to remove by erasing.

The area was then sealed.

5. Some additional masking were added.  The thistle element of the mask was highlighted with Pan Pastel Turquoise.

 

6. Attach thin strips of patterned paper vertically and horizontally - I used the decorative strip at the bottom of the Fairy Belle Patterned Paper and attached over some of the previously attached Cotton Tape.  

 7. Add other design elements and photo.

In-cred-i-ble.
I must have done it in a previous life or it's just the beauty in the chaos that makes me stare this kind of manual art so much… but I love it. Congratulations.

If I just could add this art to every web design I do… I'd find a way to animate and give each element a function in jQuery and we could work together.

If a client of mine goes for hearthy hand-made soul-touching concepts, I'll try to sell it.
