MY STRONGER COLOURS TAG , AND SWEET GIFTIES !

Many of my blogging friends have started to use a little

more colour in their creations, and I believe it is contagious!!

As you can see I`m on the wagon ,too, even I still, stay in my 

comfort zone, of the favorite colours !!

I loved to use my new stencils here, from Tim Holz 

from where both the trellis and the roses comes!

The butterfly is an old Martha Steward punch!

I also used paper napkins, and the sweet bird is a gift from my

dear friend Marie,-   http://marie-lostbirdstudio.blogspot.dk/,

thank you my dear!!

The wooden sign is a garden flower stick I painted and stamped.

And as alwayes a little lace is added !

I have a very dear friend Lynne ,- https://lynnesbowsandbelles.wordpress.com/

and she lovingly send me this wonderful comfort gifts ,not long ago.

A beautiful, nature card/ hanger kept in white, brown and blue. I have struggled

to get the colours right, but had to give up,-Lynne`s colours are

softer and a lighter blue, so my photoes does not give justice to

the real tones !!. All I can say is, that it is so very beautiful !!

The lovely stamp, is on a thin piece of wood, and the flowers are 

stamped on a white painted piece of paper ,layered on burlap, which again 

rests on top of corrugated cardboard .

See the driftwood from where it hangs,-it could be one I have send Lynne, once !!

We both love driftwood.

Together with the hanger, were these wonderful sticks with 

sweet words on, They will soon be used, 

and even also a little paper bag filled with metal charms- don`t 

you love the bees ?? 

Thank you so much my  dear Lynne for your gifts and

for your treasured friendship.

From another dear friend  Sherry http://createology.blogspot.dk/

I recieved this wonderful birthday card ( in advance )  with a sweet

spring coloured bird on a piece of fabric.

when opening up the card, I found another beautiful bird, holding one

of Sherry`s wonderful dragonflyes!

It is a real lovely summer charm, which can hang in necklaces or adorn

many other things. I love the head pearl, Sherry used, as it looks like eyes and mouth :-)

and the colours on both card and charm so filled with joyfilled spring!

Thank you very much ,dear Sherry, you are always so generous, and kind, and 

always thinking of others !!

COLLAGE IN FABRIC-PAPERS-RUSTING AND STENCILING !

I finished my collage , and am happy with the result!

The womans face is from a piece of paper napkin, which I used for making a paperfabric, 

and the beautiful embossed paper is an old piece of wall paper, which I coloured and 

stamped with gold!

I used a piece of rusted fabric, which I created, using Rusting powder!

The die over the head is the beautiful trellis from Tim Holz!

Some places are spritzt with a water solution of gold acrylic paint

Also the stenciled area here !!

I made the roses using Tim Holtz new flower dies, they are 

really sweet, and small, so also to use on tags!!

Have you ever tried to dry peonies ?

I haven`t, but this lovely bouquet is now hanging in a

dark corner here in my studio, to see if I will succed ,having 3 lovely

dried peonies, after some time.

I am very thankful that many of you are still visiting and commenting here.

I can see many bloggers are slowly stopping to both post and comment, and it makes me 

kind of sad, as I think this community of blogging friends, should just go on, !!!

So Thank you so much for your visits, and comments,-they really mean a lot to me. 

I wish you all a lovely, -soon to come- weekend.

Hugs and love

Dorthe
