A Flower Blossoms by Dorthe Hansen

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
