I have used one of the Briar Rose stamps for my card I first made a background with PanPastels then using Black Archival ink stamped my image. I rubbed out some of the PanPastels from inside the image .That is the best about PanPastel you can erase what you don't want.

Then using a slightly damp brush I coloured my image with the PanPastels. I finished off by doodling around the edge.xxx
