Flutter Your Wings by Dorthe Hansen

Can you imagine it is soon March and if we are lucky it will be a mild
and lovely March, with spring around the corner !!
That inspired me to create this panel, using one of the white/greyboard panels,
which was first run over with thinned gesso and after with Red Shimmer paint
mixed with White. After it dried, the wonderful crackle stencil was used, adding a pattern
on the upper part of the panel.
I used Texture Paste and after dried - which happens very fast, I sprayed with
Infusions - a very thinned Sleight Blue and thinned Walnut ink, sprayed on.
I chose some of the lovely Bits and Pieces greyboard butterflies
and painted them, also with the same pink as the background.
When dry, I stamped the butterfly stamp, onto them all and added
details myself with a brown Sharpie. I left it to dry, before adding the
Gloss Gel Medium, to them all - you can see the shine here.
I also chose a flower and painted it with the same colours of pink, white and brown
and two of Lynne's Affirmations were mixed to have the one fitting here. :-)
I used paper scraps to stamp on and stamped and outlined with Archival Ink.
Some paper and lace scraps laying on my table were sprayed with the Walnut
Crystal ink and adhered to the button panel. Butterflies were adhered, with half rusted wire, to form antennas and a wire was also turned around the flower stem. To be able hanging it, I made two holes, with the Crop-A-Dile and added both a wire and a piece of Sari Silk, turned around each other !!
I hope this also left a tiny feeling of Spring to you, thank you for looking
dear friends, I appreciate your visits, so much !!
Hugs and love
Dorthe
