Quick Halloween Card!


The Altered Pages Design Team is really excited to be working with Pan Pastels during September. We hope you have been enjoying all the creativity!!!  Pan Pastels are available at AlteredPages.com!


Quick cards are easy when you have prepared extras as you go along.  A couple of weeks ago I shared how to use Stencils with Pan Pastels.  Today, I am using one of the Pan Pastels backgrounds I made earlier this month with stencils and VersaMark!
  
I used my VersaMark Dazzle pad with a sponge and carefully applied the VersaMark on my paper through the stencil patternThen with one of a Pan Pastel soft sponge I gently applied the Pan Pastels in a circular motion. 

  
The Halloween image is from the Antique Halloween collage sheet (layered on black cardstock).  


The panel was layered on Black Cardstock and then on the card. A green ribbon and a few rhinestones are the final touches. 

In less than 15 minutes I was able to create my card!

Be sure to comment each day on the blog for a chance to win a set of Pan Pastels.  A random drawing will take place at the end of the month, for each comment your name gets entered again!  More comments, more chances of winning! (one comment per day please).

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
