It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Dorthe Hansen

11:00







Not even a week till Christmas Eve and the last Monday before!! 

My sample this week is showing some of the newest Bits and Pieces of stars and hearts. They are mounted onto a piece of white/greyboard, which was first painted with a mix of Green and White, to achieve a soft light green. 







When dry, I used two Dinky stencils to create interest to the background, one called Circles and one Harlequin, added with Archival Ink.On top of it on the left side of panel and top, I stamped the text stamp from the new Textures Collections Stamp Set 3. The stars and hearts were all painted with a little stronger mix of Green and White and on top I stenciled the beautiful Dinky stencil Snowflakes, using Texture Paste. While wet I sprinkled white glitter dust.

After it had dried, a little Sand Paste was smeared around the perimeter of both hearts and stars and lastly I painted all edges with Black.







On a piece of discarded paper, I stamped Donna’s wonderful text from her stamp set Christmas Collection Set 1, with Jet Black Archival Ink. The perimeter also painted with white and black paint. Torn pieces of gauze and lace were adhered to the background - half the gauze first painted with the rest of the paint mixture.







Everything was adhered to the canvas using Multi Purpose Craft Adhesive, a green painted string was also
tied around the panel and a Mother of Pearl button from my stash added. Lastly the perimeter of the panel was painted with Black.

I hope you are all happily busy preparing for the big day, I know I am. J
There will be 14 days now, without any blog posts from me and my dear friend Lynne is the last one to post from the team Sunday the 24th – I’m sure it will be another gorgeous creation from her.

Wishing you all the most  Merry and Happy Christmas time, with family and friends, and a blessed, healthy and wonderful New Year 2018.

Hugs and love

Dorthe
