They Carry Secrets on their Wings by Dorthe Hansen

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
