Pan Pastels

Sam Poole Vintage Photography Stamps

***

Howdy snazzy folks, my time is finally here to share the first of my projects,

To say I was excited when I heard we were getting pan pastels to play with was an understatement,  Yes I know I already had a few but one can never have too many in my opinion, I LOVE THEM

If you've not tried them all I can say is YOU NEED THEM!! lol

So onto my card...

I started with a piece of plain white card, and I randomly stamped the film strip in versamark ink, I then used a sofft tool to apply black pan pastel to the inked areas, I found that some of the black also transferred to the background but I wanted that effect so it was fine, I also added some burnt sienna to the background without fear that the film strips would change colour as the ink had already grabbed the black.
Next I stamped the photographer and the frame with sentiment onto encaustic art card with versamark ink,

 I used more burnt sienna pan pastel on the guy and after cutting him out edged him with some vintage photo distress ink. I used raw umber on the frame and words. Because I used encaustic card which has a super smooth finish the pan pastel only stuck to the ink and not the background.

Then it was just a case of cutting out and arranging it all together with some added touches in the form of some idea-ology film strip and a couple of friendly plastic cameras that I made myself using a hand made mould.

I hope you have enjoyed my first offering, and try the whole versamark stamping technique, it's a lot of fun.

I'll be back later in the week with my second project and a new UTube vid to match.

See you then
