Fill Your Days with Moments of Magic! by Dorthe Hansen

Hello to you, on another Monday morning !

This week I chose to use one of That`s Crafty`s Rounds, as panel,

and started painting it over with thinned gesso.

After dry, I painted again with thinned Mint, left to dry and 

onto the bottom, smeared Texture Sand Paste, dabbing it on,

to create more texture. On the right hand side, I stamped, directly to the panel,

Lynne´s wildflower, making the stem longer and painting it with 

watercolor pencils. 

3 greyboard butterflies were also gessoed and then stamped 

with Melina`s Butterfly stamps,  giving them a beautiful

winged pattern. I used Archival ink to be sure I could use

water on top, again, when painting with both Acrylic Multi Surface Paints, 

and watercolor pencils.

One was also given a coat of 3-D Gloss. The Round was carefully sprayed with

thinned Walnut Ink , mostly seen on the Sand Paste area - one

of the beautiful Lynne Affirmations was stamped onto old piece of paper,

and cut into 4 pieces.

Two of the butterflies were adhered on top of old lace, to the panel

and the third one directly to the panel. The words are placed and a piece of sari silk

added to hang the Round.

The last thing to do was, a bit of splashing with Walnut Ink  and defining the butterflies 

and the flower a bit more, using a Stabilo Aquarellable black - a gift from dear Lynne.

Thank you for looking and maybe reading, dear friends - I wish you

a lovely new week, all.

Hugs and Love, 

Dorthe
