CHALLENGE : FLORAL FANCY- (EVERYTHING FLOWERY )

I`m here with my Friday challenge , to show you my idea of a FLORAL FANCY .

http://thatscraftychallenges.blogspot.dk/

I used a White Greyboard panel ,which I first sprayed with Infusions 

to male a airy background.

All the Bits and Pieces Grayboard pieces : 

Funky Flowers, Fairy, and Hummingbird , were painted with white acrylic, and the flowers and bird were run through the Big Shot inside a Sizzix embossing folder, and after I smeared

Distress Oxide over them, using my finger, and 3 different Oxides (see below)

The leaves were painted with the same paint and Oxides, and the tiniest fairy , and bird too.

Along the lower edge I added Texture paste , mixed with green paint , through the Dinky Stencil : Leaves , to add a feeling of fallen leaves . When dry I smeared a bit of Vintage photo onto them here and there.

Lynne`s new beautiful Affirmation , from Set 6 was stamped onto a piece of old book page.

Around the panel I gave the frame a little Vintage Photo, too, and then adhered some vintage lace died with Infusions, and Teal Multi Surface Paint, both on top and button to the panel, giving an idea of clouds and green filed. 

All the bits were adhered with All Purpose Craft Adhesive ,  I created details with a black Fin e Liner, and a white Posca pen .

With the Metallic Paint Pearl I also gave a little shine to the flowers , the bird and the fairy wings .

Looking at my work table, just in front of me were some Hot Glue Gun "pearls" from an earlier work, and they fitted as little decoration for the flowers after having been painted, too .

The last thing to do, was adding water to White paint, and by "hitting " the pen carefully ,over the panel, making  a little snowfall !!

This is my try - I really hope you also want to give this great challenge a try, as we all love flowers, Don`t we !!!!!!

The Challenge runs for two weeks, so plenty of time,-- and as many of you know , by now, there is a great premium of 20 Pound to use in Laura`s shop, for the winner

GET YOUR SPOOK ON :-)

HELLO CHALLENGE !!!

We are going to get spooky ,lol habe a closer look here, on all the other DT`s spooky creatione : 

http://thatscraftychallenges.blogspot.dk/

I used a little panel , painted it first with green and white paint, 

left to dry, and then mixed brown and white, to as very light brown/beige tone, which was painted 

all over the surface .

Onto that I smeared a thin layer of glace, left it to dry and then with the thinned brown paint, 

painted all over the surface, --- left do dry to create crackles !!

Then I stenciled first the Harlequin using brown Archival Ink,     Coffee  --and then

the 12 o`clock from the Cog Clock stencil.-- the craw background and 

Flight of the Bats  all with Archival Ink Jet Black  

I found a dry rose branch,  and still with two thorn `s- adhered it together  with

some dried nature straws, to the right side panel, making it look as if one craw just landed in the nest.

I had some tiny pumpkins , very mini , from a flower shop, which I adhered

together with 2 scratches of black fabric , and a piece of tulle swiped around the panel to give texture .  You could use tiny pinecones , or other nature finds , as substitute for the pumpkins !!! Two rhinestones were attached to the tulle on top, and to the "flower" . 

Jet Black ink was dabbed onto all edges !! 

I hope you like my not too spooky panel :-)

And I hope you will play ,and have the great chance to win 

Hugs and love Dorthe

FOREVER AUTUMN

Yes Autumn is really here , and this new challenge 

over at That`s Crafty Challenge Blog , asks for your creations

about  FOREVER AUTUMN , isen`t it a lovely titel !!

http://thatscraftychallenges.blogspot.dk/2017/09/forever-autumn-challenge.html

My own contribution started onto a Rounded  corners panel , which I 

first sprayed with a very thinned Infusion in Terracotta ,left to dry and oversprayed

with Sleigh Blue, also thinned a lot.

After dried I dabbed with Distress Oxides  : Vintage Photo with a little 

Iced Spruce on top here and there . The beautiful Dinky Stencil Spider Web was used in the

upper left corner , using Iced Spruce ,and in right corner I added a thin layer of 

Distress Crackle paint ,Clear Rock Candy , and left to dry .

Embellishments were painted with the lovely new Multi Surface Paint ,

in Green - Red- Chestnut Brown and yellow, to try capture the

wonderful autumn tones.

The tall flower also had a coat of the Crackle paint and so did the butterfly and one of the toadstools .

After it had all dried I smeared Distress Ink Walnut stain onto the crackled places, and wiped off the extra ink .

I felt something was missing in the lover part of the panel and used

another great Dinky Stencil : Harlequin , also with the Iced Spruce.
Not too easy to see here , sorry !!

Then all the Embellishments were adhered ,onto scraps of lace

some dyed with the Infusions , -- the Butterfly and toadstools got copper thread 

details ,to highlight a bit , and tiny cones from the wood were added too.
If you want to see details, just click the pictures :-)
