Sprinkle Starlight by Dorthe Hansen

A fairytale, Monday creation, for
That’s Blogging Crafty! J and hello to you friends.
This little story started on a Surfaces,
white/greyboard postcard panel with rounded corners, onto which I first added
Iced Spruce Distress Oxide all over. After dried, the beautiful stencil, Bare
Tree, was placed in the right side card, onto which I smeared Texture Paste.
The stencil was lifted away and I then used a toothpick to draw the tree
patterns onto its trunk and left to dry totally.
In between, I painted the flower and
the new little fairy – the flower with Iced Spruce, Chestnut Brown and a little
Metallic gold and the fairy with Chestnut Brown mixed with white, to make a
skin colour and then she was painted with the Metallic Copper and details drawn
with black fine liner, her wings stamped with Texture Stamp Set, Set 2 – the crackle
pattern. Two greyboard snowflakes were also painted with the Metallic Gold and
left to dry!
I hope the shine of these amazing paints
can be seen, so difficult to catch, on the grey days we have !!!
After the tree has totally dried, I
also painted it with Metallic Gold and smeared the paint out to give the
illusion of a crown or star shine. Chestnut Brown was added to give shadows,
around and under the tree and I painted rays lighting from the star and with
the Dinky Star stencil, added a few stars here and there, using a Faber Castell
copper pen.
One of Lynne’s Affirmations was
stamped onto a used tea bag and adhered to a scratch of fabric. The fairy was
dressed in a blinking tulle skirt and flower lace painted with the same paint I
made for the fairy skin, was adhered on the bottom of the card, together with
the flower. A little gold paint and a piece of the tulle has given shine to
them.
Lastly the stars and fairy were all
adhered to the top card, she’s flying past the stars, sending their wonderful
shine onto the earth ---- and the Affirmation was placed between fairy and
flowers!!
Thank you if following me to the end
of my story, I wish you all a lovely new week.
Hugs and love
Dorthe

You have used that winning combination of the brown and gold multi surface paints Dorthe, they were made to be together. From textured tree to embellished greyboard fairy you have created a charming display full of sparkle.
ReplyDeleteI love how you lead us through from start to finish and I always feel a little sad when it ends on a Monday.

This is so lovely, Dorthe - the tree bark and the tiny skirt on your tree sprite are my favourite elements, but the whole thing works beautifully together.
