Picture Day scrapbook page - with Helmar and PanPastels

Hello Helmar Fans! JJ here today, to kickoff a week of projects featuring PanPastels.

Although PanPastels are considered a 'fine art' material, they can also be a great addition to your scrapbook pages.  You can use them like a paint - without the drying time, or warping!

I added some stenciling to my background with the PanPastels:

 

And I coloured all the chipboard pieces with PanPastels.  They are highly pigmented - offering great coverage on dark chipboard, with no need to prime it first.

I glued the chipboard shapes with 450 Quick Dry.  One of the 'pencils' overlapped another, so I added Zap Dots at either end to even out the levels behind it.

I glued all the papers and photo with Professional Acid Free glue. 

PanPastels have various sizes of applicators, allowing for broad or detailed strokes - I used the small Sofft Tool to apply the various colours for the crayons.

Thanks for visiting - and don't forget to come back all week, to see other ideas using Helmar and PanPastels together!
