Flower Fantasy Shelter by Dorthe Hansen
11:00
Hello friends, I`m happy to be back, again, this time showing one of
the little uprights in MDF and how I used it.
The panel and foot first had green tulle (could be any kind of thin fabric or even paint)
adhered and then I used the stencil on top left side of panel to create light and interest.
I used the Texture Paste and let it stay white when it had dried.
The fun and so sweet new flower girl from Melina`s sheet, was
stamped onto copy paper and then adhered to thicker card stock. She was
stamped with Archival Sepia and then painted with a mix of white and
a tiny bit of blue, to give her the softest tone of blue. Then I went over her with white and tried
to make the paint stand out from her, to create like little raised spots.
A mushroom from a Bits and Pieces sheet and a Funky Flower, too, were painted with
the soft blue-brown mixed with white and a little Mustard Yellow, mixed with Bright Red.
When dry, both were given raised spots too and I draw details onto the mushroom,
with a brown fineliner. Miss Tulip got yellow cheeks and red lips and adhered to the panel.
On top of her I added left over scraps of tissue, in green tones and went over it with the
mustard/red mix.
To add the mushroom to the foot I adhered a piece of cardboard to its back and let it form an l-shape by bending it so I was able to adhere the bended part to the foot. The flower was adhered to the right side panel and on the foot. Fianlly I adhered bark pieces, from nature.
I always collect pieces from the ground, when walking :-)
Here the sun shines beautifully today and even it is ice cold it gives new hopes, seeing it on the sky.
Have a wonderful week all.
Hugs and love
Dorthe
Materials used:

Oh Dorthe, it's as if you have found Miss Tulip deep within the forest. Those sage and browns camouflage her well but with her bright cheeks glowing she is happy you have discovered her. I adore your mini walk amongst nature. Thank you for sharing.
