Back to reality!!!

Hi everyone I am back from a fantastic four days at "A Crafty Weekend Away" . It was so fun. I got to make a whopping 23 cards and do some other crafts such as jewellery and ceramic painting. We enjoyed a great girlie time. Chatting, giggling, drinking tea, coffee, wine, eating, hotub and more. Thanks girls it was such fun.

I became slightly addicted to Pan Pastels and the most fun I had with them was creating my own backgrounds.

Here is a card I have made using some of the goodies from the holiday whilst I was t 

Recipe  - Pan Pastels  from Natalie and Amy's shop

Inkadinkadoo stamps

Back to Basics Christmas Paper  from Natalie and Amy's shop

Glossy Accents from Natalie and Amy's shop

Scalloped Square 6 by 6 square Card

Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle 

Versamark watermark pad available at Natalie and Amy's shop.

I created the backing papers by stamping the image with versamark I then used different shades of pan pastels over the images. I sprayed with Crafters companion Spray and Sparkle and then repeated with my second image. I then cut out some baubles from the Back to basic papers. I stuck on with a foam pad and then added glossy accents. I added some faux stitching to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by today I really appreciate your time and comments. I hope you are inspired too. Hugs Pascale
