I followed a tutorial by the super talented Eileen Godwin. Although it looks like a simple technique, it's a bit tricky to get the blending right. I wasn't totally happy with my first attempt and it eventually ended up in the bin. This is version 2.
I've a long way to go to get to Eileen's standard but I love the vibrant colours I ended up with. I used the same colours as Eileen, Permanent Red, Phthalo Blue, and Diarylide Yellow. By blending them together you also get lovely shades of orange, green, and purple.
I've finished it off with two sizes of Swirl stamps from Clarity and a greeting from Chocolate Baroque. It's very different to the cards I normally make but I really like the simplicity of it. I think you will be seeing more of these from me.
So glad you are now a proud owner of PanPastels, your card is fab Lynne and I look forward to seeing more . X
