Time Flies by Dorthe Hansen

Hello all, time flies, and it is Monday once again - so
here is my Monday blog post.
I love Laura's Surfaces MDF Hearts
and have been so lucky, to be gifted some from my dear friend, Lynne.
I started by giving it a light coat
of gesso and when it had dried, I sprayed first with Infusions Sleight Blue and
after, lightly with Brusho Light Brown. Letting it dry, I used the same two
components to spray onto the beautiful embellishments of a dragonfly and a big
watch. They were laid aside and I added
Archival ink Hydrangea to the heart - to all the edges and the top.
After, the Wave Circles Dinky stencil
was used, also together with the Hydrangea ink, to add interest in top right
corner and in the lower part of the heart too.
I found two remnants from the clock
face, which I also sprayed with the Brusho and the Infusions and after it dried,
I stamped the little flower from Donna's Quirky Girls collection “BEKI” onto both and also on the left side top
of the heart and one on the bottom right side.
They were all painted with the new
beautiful Shimmer paints in Blue, Green and Pearl and also with Metallic Silver. You can see the
shimmer here. Details were drawn with black and white Sharpies.
Then it was time, to paint the dragonfly
and the clock. For both I used the lovely Shimmer Blue paint and also the
Metallic Silver. I also used Texture Stamps Set 2, to add details to the wings
of the dragonfly. When dried I went over with a white Sharpie to make the
details more visible. On the clock I
only painted here and there with the Blue Shimmer, for a more diffuse look, which
I like.

A lovely blue stone from a piece of jewelry
was added to the middle wheel and white Sharpie gave more details to the wheel.
Before adhering clock and dragonfly,
I added a piece of green nylon fabric, so he had something to land onto J The two MDF remnants
with flowers were adhered too, which finished my piece.
