A Flower Blossoms by Dorthe Hansen
11:00
Sitting here writing this up Monday 19th with the sun shining beautiful outside,
I hope, that when this is seen by you in a week, we have more warm temperatures !!
This Monday post for That`s Crafty! shows me using a white/greyboard panel. I first painted with gesso and when dry, mixed the Bright Pink and White paint to a soft version and painted it over the
whole panel. After dry I stamped Black Archival with Fliss`s lovely flower stamp and drew a stem with black Sharpie and then also stamped one of the leaves in the collection.
The flower was then embossed with black embossing powder and then I draw details into the petals
using two different brown watercolor markers and also the leaf was painted the same way.
A piece of gauze was painted with the pink mix and a bit of the brown watercolor marker
was smeared out with water and then the gauze was adhered to left side of the panel.
The pink panel tone being a bit to sharp, for me, so I also added washes with the brown marker
to add little shadows.
From my dear friend Lynne, I had received a big glassine envelope,
with gifts inside, which she herself had decorated with black
stitches, running it through her sewing machine.
I tore the stitched parts off and used some of them to adhere to the sides, also the beautiful redish
paper is from Lynne, and it was torn apart , to be adhered to the 3 sides.
I had an old music page laying around and from that, also adhered a few
torn strips on top of the other papers.
(if you have none of the mentioned papers, you can easily find other possibilities,
I`m sure, and find the music paper online.)
The last step was stamping with the great circle stamp from stamp set 3 Textures Collection
and with the Oscar Wilde quote, (the last onto a rest of the music paper) from Fliss`s beautiful flower stamp set - 1. It was adhered to the gauze - holes made on top and a piece of
Sari Silk added to hang the panel and brown marker used, to define the red paper edges.
I think this is it - always long explanations from me - I guess it could be because I don`t know
the shortcut sentences in English lol.
Anyway I`m so happy if you followed me here and wishes you all
the most lovely day.
Hugs and love
Dorthe
