Beautiful Life by Dorthe Hansen

Again all around me, it is decked with snow, 10 cm high it is laying again !!

But then it is a joy, to stay inside and play once more with Fliss`s lovely flower sheet.

One of my most loved white/greyboard tags was the start.

I used a Distress Oxide all around the perimeter and laid it aside.

A piece of copy paper was crumbled in my hands, painted with Teal Multi Surface Paint 

very watery and after dried I took my Jet Black Archival ink and lightly smeared it

over the crumpled paper to highlight some of the edges which occur.

I chose two stamps from Fliss`s Set 1 and the white/greyboard Bits and Pieces, form, suiting the stamps - painted them with Teal too and then dry

quickly, put them in a waterbath, (yes you can do that but only for a few seconds) 

then bended and formed the petals, to give both a 3-D form.

From the crumpled paper, I used two stamps from Lynne`s Affirmations to form the Beautiful Life,

adhered them to cardstock and cut out.

Then I stamped both the flower and the leaf onto tissue,using the black Archival.

Fussy cut and adhered to the greyboard forms and left to dry.

In between I rolled a paper flower, cutting a circle into a spiral and then from the outside, 

rolling the spiral around it self to form a flower.

The crumpled background paper was adhered to the tag and circle and the number stamp was

used in different places to create interest. A piece of rusted cotton placed on the long 

side, added a uniform background for the greyboard pieces. The rolled flower and a artificial one, were adhered to the cotton too, as well as the two words.

A white Posca pen was used to details onto the greyboard pieces.

Lastly a piece of died lace was adhered under the background paper and a piece of Sari Silk was added to be able to hang the tag.

If you followed me all the way, thank you so much, I`m always grateful, for your visits.

Hugs and love,

Dorthe
