Capture Precious Moments by Dorthe Hansen

Hello dear friends, I know we are
only late November but I had an idea with one of the Acrylic Uprights, for a
festive decorated kind of window and it had to be tried!
I have taken photos on both white
and black backgrounds, for you to see as many details as possible!!
Onto the acrylic panel I stenciled
two Baubles with texture paste and left to dry.
The wonderful Christmas tree was
painted white and then using the Poinsettia Tree stencil, I smeared the
beautiful Metallic Gold over.
Here you can see some of the pattern
The Swirly Greyboard Reindeer was
painted with Chestnut Brown and lightened here and there, mixing a bit of white
into the brown, before drying. The antlers had spots of gold and I added white
and black details.
Also one of the greyboard snowflakes
was painted with Metallic Gold and after it had dried, I added Diamond Glace on
top of it, using the Multi Purpose Craft Adhesive, which dries so perfectly
clear! I also defined the peaks with a brown fine liner.
When the bauble was dry, I first
painted it with Metallic Pearl and then used two of the beautiful Baubles
stencils, to add patterns. It was done with the Metallic Gold, in which I
sprinkled a bit gold glitter.
When totally dry I used the stencils
again and a fine liner in brown, to draw around all the snowflake patterns.
This gave a little more life to the panel.
To finish it all, the tree was
adhered to the back of the acrylic panel and the star and deer to the front
panel. One of Lynne’s Affirmations was stamped onto a piece of a glassine
envelope, that she dearly gifted me herself and adhered to the front panel too.
Time for a little snowy weather - thinned
White was added by tapping on a brush loaded with the paint and on the bottom I
tried the new fantastic 3D Gloss Gel. It dries totally clear when added in a thin
layer, looking like water on the acrylic and adding more creates beautiful
snow, in between.
Then the baubles were hang from the tree,
with two pieces of lace and a tinsel ribbon was added to the hole in the panel,
after having punched a hole to the tree.
I hope you liked it and maybe
followed me all the way to here!
Thank you,
Hugs and love
Dorthe

Along with the sentiment this is getting me into the Christmas spirit Dorthe. Love how you have layered the greyboard and acrylic together, the gold is amazing. With your stencilled bauble design and prancing reindeer you've captured the coming season perfectly.

DeleteWow - your gilded tree looks amazing, and it's so clever how you've exploited the transparent acrylic. It looks great against both black and white, and I think it would also look amazing hanging in a tree!

Wow Dorthe! This piece is so different on the acrylic! What a lovely challenge piece! It is totally festive with white and gold...and the "snow" effect really brings in that wintery feeling : ) Such a great idea to photograph on both dark and light backgrounds.
