Nature`s ART by Dorthe Hansen
11:00
Hello
all, I`m back with my number two project, as a member of this lovely group.
Starting with That's Crafty! wonderful MDF tag, I added gesso to it and after dried, I filled spray
bottles with very diluted Infusions, Rusty Car, Slime and Royal Blood, each in
it's own bottle and sprayed the surface using them, one after one and drying
in between each new layer.
I then stenciled the dragonflies (the Slime green ones) using texture paste, directly to the tag, let them dry
and then painted onto them with Infusion Slime, then I stenciled two dragonflies, this time using Archival Ink
Leaf Green, which I also used to stamp the crackle effect around the edges,
and Archival Ink Coffee for the lovely text, from Texture Stamp, Set 1.
Having the spray bottle with the
diluted Slime, I also stained some laces and baby wipe, for later use.
A piece of paper was stained with
Infusions Rusty Car and Slime and laid to dry. When dry I stamped Donna`s lovely
flowers from Quirky Girls collection 'Beki', both the big and the small flowers.
Also the ART from the Inspirational Words stamp, was stamped with Archival Ink Coffee, onto the prepared paper.
When dry, I fussy cut flowers and
torn out the stamped 'ART'.
Before adding the flowers to the
background, I adhered a piece of real bark, found on the ground. I stamped the stems with leaves and
adhered the flowers.
A torn baby wipe and a piece of lace
fence were added to the button and two little flower heads, one onto the baby
wipe and on top of a piece of lace, next to the dragonflies.
A coat of Diamond Glaze was lastly
added to small flower heads, the texture paste dragonflies and the edge of the
big flower head, unfortunately it is so difficult to see on the photos.
Materials used:
Other: Archival Ink Pads - Coffee & Leaf Green, lace, baby wipe, piece of
paper, glue stick, spray bottles

DeleteDorthe, When I look at this, I see you venturing into a bolder style but with all the little "Dorthe" touches - the bark, the lace. You bring to us the view of flowers, blossoming in a garden with a sweet fence and the dragonflies fluttering around in the air.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tag filled with the sweetest details.

You are so right dear Lynne, I try ,little by little to be somehow, using bolder tones, but I will always be in love, with the more soft and nature tones, too. Thank you for your kind, and supporting words, my friend. Dorthe xxx
DeleteAmazing texture and detail Dorthe and the whole piece makes me think of Spring. Such beautiful fresh colours and love the added lace.

ReplyDeleteA wonderful background with so many textures. I think I could reach out and touch them. Dragonflies are my favorite! Great detail in your instructions. As tags are one of my beloved surfaces to paint, I'm sure I'll be able to follow them perfectly as I try my hand at this lovely creation. Cheers! Sharon
