WHISPER SECRETS INTO THE WIND !!

I`m here with the first autumn theme for That`s Crafty Challenge : Forever Autumn   https://thatscraftychallenges.blogspot.com/

The choice was to start using one of  the MDF panels onto which

I painted white and while wet added a little black, to achieve this grey tone.

When dry  I used the beautiful swallow stencil using Black gesso dapping with

a hard brush.

I left to dry, and meanwhile onto a find from my garden, a dry leaf, smeared 

a little of the gorgeous Antique Gold. A greyboard leaf was stamped with 

one of Melina`s doodled leaves , Lime Lustre was painted in the doodled frame,

and Antique Gold and Metallic  Rose Gold painted onto the leaf.Also a tiny berry

branch was painted white on the berries ,and a dot of gold, too.

The swallow now dry was given details with white and gold smeared together,

and a white dot for the eye. On two edges I used the Stitch stencil, with a blackFine liner .

The Affirmation was partly stamped directly on the left side panel , and onto two pieces of

scrap paper from my table .

Also a piece of rusted fabric , ( a lovely gift from Lynne ) was found on the tabel,

and adhered to panel. On top the leaves and the branch- and lastly the stamped paper scraps.

I hope you are not tired from reading , lol. 

Hugs and love

THE POWER OF YOU IS UNSTOPPABLE !!

Here I am with number two part of the August Challenge 

over here : http://thatscraftychallenges.blogspot.com/

This time using a piece of the fantastic white cardstock from the Journal Kit , for the background, 

onto another scrap paper cardstock, I stamped one of Lynne`s lovely wildflowers, in Archival ink,

and after sprayed with the Flat Matte Aqua , diluted with water.

Onto another scrap this time from a greyboard tag I cut in two,

not long ago, I painted White, 

and when dry stamped Donna`s cute dog - he was painted with different

brown watercolour pencils , and a "tree trunk" painted on his left side , with

a few white doodles -

Melina`s beautiful butterfly was stamped ,twice, onto

ricepaper, ,also from the Journal kit, sprayed with Aqua Flat Matte, they were fussy cut and adhered together

with the Gloss gel Medium , making it a bit stiffer , and bendable .

The butterfly was painted details , using a white Posca pen,

and around the perimeter of the wild flower scrap I smeared

some of the Chestnut Brown . 

A piece of Corrugated Cardboard from the kit ,and a gauze piece ,were both also sprayed with 

Bluebell  Flat Matte- and after dry layered onto the cardstock, -the gauze under the wildflower piece , and on top the dog, now , with a little lace piece  with added flower. 

Butterfly was adhered to right upper corner.

Lastly Lynne`s Affirmation was stamped to paper also treated with Aqua , cut into 3, and adhered .

Hugs and love
