Make a Wish by Dorthe Hansen

Hello friends, Monday is here and so am I, showing a
creation on the That’s Blogging Crafty blog!!! I hope your weekend brought both
good weather and happy hours and that your Monday will be a great one !!
On white/greyboard, start by adding
Distress Oxide Antique Linen to the surface, and after, spray with a very thinned
Infusions Blackcurrant.
When dry, I used the Word Stencil
Discover, stenciling the brick border to the right side of the panel with
Texture Paste and I also stamped the beautiful woman from Character
Construction, and the butterfly from Butterfly Trio, Rubber Dance, onto the
panel.
The butterfly was painted with
Aquarel Superstar pencils and the sweet woman was given rose cheeks and mouth -
her pearls painted white and lined with a black Sharpie marker.
While waiting for the brick wall to
dry, I found a piece of card stock which I first crumpled and then painted with
the gorgeous Shimmer Paint in Purple and sprinkled Blackcurrant Infusion here
and there. I sprayed with water and left to dry. Then I stamped the big flower
from Quirky Girls “ Beki” on the painted
card stock and fussy cut them - one was cut a bit smaller than the others!!
You can see the beautiful shimmer
from the Shimmer Paint
I
wanted to add one of the wonderful embellishments from wildflowers greyboard sheet - it was also painted with both Shimmer Paint Purple and Blackcurrant Infusions and on top sprinkled a little of the Infusion powder onto the button flower, to
add depth. Details were made with black and white Sharpies and the stems coloured
with Archival Ink Leaf Green. The brick wall was then also painted
with Purple Shimmer and a little Infusions powder sprinkled on top.
Time for more flowers, so I used the
Flower Dinky stencil, also with Texture Paste and left to dry.
Next, Leaf Green was dabbed onto the
flowers around all edges and around the butterfly girl. Blackcurrant dissolved
in water, was painted onto the stenciled flowers and the embellishment flower
was cut into two pieces to fit the surface and creation, it was adhered with
Multi Purpose Craft adhesive, which was also used for the cardstock flowers, a piece of
purple painted lace and dictionary paper!!
Lynne's Affirmation, giving name to
the panel, was also stamped onto the prepared cardstock left from the flower
stamping, cut out and lined with white
Sharpie and Leaf Green and also adhered.
You can hardly see the text here,
because of the gorgeous shimmer
Lastly, I outlined the butterfly with
white dots, added details also to all the flowers, gave the woman a white bow and
adhered two white buttons and a piece of Sari silks, fitting the colour theme.
Thank you for visiting, it makes me
always feel thankful seeing you here too.

You have painted the butterfly in such a gorgeous array of colors. The flowers are gorgeous! Lynne's Affirmation just fits! I wish the sparkle would show through in the photograph, by I can imagine it! Simply stunning, Dorthe! Cheers, Sharon
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful elements to take in Dorthe, I love the way you have used the Butterfly to conceal the beautiful ladies modesty and in true *Dorthe* Style your addition of texture and embellishments are adorable.
