They Carry Secrets on their Wings by Dorthe Hansen

11:00

Here is another of the so useful and wonderful to use, greyboard tags, for this
weeks blogpost.

I started using the lovely Mandala stencil with the Sand texture paste and
while letting it dry, I sprayed a piece of paper with Lustre spray Lime and an old
tag laying around with the gorgeous Lustre spray Gold


When the paper was dry, I stamped the dragonfly wings from
Lynne`s Affirmation Set 2 and also the text.
I fussy cut the wings and misted over them once again with the Lustre,
giving an amazing iridescent look.
From the greyboard dragonfly and wings, I found two dragonflies, matching
the size of the wings and glued the wings on top - painting the body with
a black fine liner.


The tag was sprayed with Flat Matte Basil and at once over sprayed with
Walnut Ink, which I mixed onto the tag with a pencil, toning down the
Basil a bit and giving darker areas of the brown in some places. 
I dipped a piece of old fabric in the spray remnants and wound
it around a tiny branch, found in my garden, or on a walk.
The dragonflies were adhered to the branch and the words cut into pieces, to the
tag and both adhered to the now dry tag. Lastly a silk ribbon from the stash tied to the panel tag hole,
and a string to the paper tag.


I hope you can see the beautiful tones of the Lustre spray and amazing
texture from the Sand Paste. 

Thank you for now, and a lovely week to you all.

Hugs and love 
Dorthe

    This tag is magical Dorthe Dear and I do see the layers of colors and textures you have created. And YES they do carry secrets on their wings. I love them at my former pond and now at my current water feature. Beautiful Tag Dear...<3

    This really is a stunning piece of creativity Dorthe, the background is amazing with those colours picking up the depth of texture perfectly. Both dragonflies look amazing all blending in so well as if they have found their happy home. A very beautiful piece of art.
