Sneak Peek: Fun Stampers Journey PanPastels

One of the biggest advantages to going to Celebrate You - Fun Stampers Journey Convention 2016 is that not only did we get the opportunity to see SNEAK PEEKS of new products, but we also offered the opportunity to purchase some of these wonderful products.  When they offered us the PanPastels for sale, I "had to have them".  

Part of our new 2016 - 2017 Fun Stampers Journey Inspiration Book and Catalog products are PanPastels.   Customers may order them as of July 1, 2016.  "PanPastel Colors are professional artists’ quality soft pastel colors packed in a unique pan format (cake-like). The special qualities of PanPastel Colors mean that artists can blend and apply dry color like fluid paint for the first time." (quote from Pan Pastel).  These are also erasable - so it easy to fix if you go outside of a line or want to create your own unique design.    Easy to use with sponge or "Sofft Tools".  To erase, any eraser will work but you want to use one that will not leave the color of the eraser on your artwork.  Personally, I am using a white eraser.  

All of our sets come with a palette with cover, seven PanPastels), and a five piece tool kit.   Journey Colorless Blender, Journey Brush Gold PanPastel, Journey Brush Silver PanPastel, and the 8 piece Journey Sofft Tools are purchased individually.

Here are my photos of the PanPastels (available July 1, 2016) on my Fun Stampers Journey website:
Special Note:  check out the design of each package.  The design is the same as brand new "Color Me Washi" tape.  Color Me Washi is 5CM wide x 15M long (approximately 1.97" x 39.33").   I will include the Washi information too.  We were not able to buy that at convention.   In each section, I will also list the colors included in each set.

I will show you photos of some of the cards I created using them soon.   I found them easy to use.  They cover extremely well.  It just takes a little to go a long way too.   

Tip:  If you see dust forming in the pans it is because you are over applying the product to the sponge or tool.  It only takes a swipe or two to have enough to work with.

One of the most amazing things about using these is that you can wipe off the sponge on a paper towel in between color changes.  No need to switch out the sponge or wash it until completely done.   So easy and convenient. 

I think they would be an awesome gift too for anyone that is into crafting, chalk/pastels painting, mixed media.   Very versatile product.   We saw it demonstrated using mixed media, stencils, sponges, and the Sofft Tools.   

Here's a pdf file with basic instructions of how to use the PanPastels.
