The canvas is panged with Kaisercraft Clamshell, and then washed over with sand paint. The edges are done with a Dabber Paint in Cranberry, and although not seen, the edges are done with Black paint dabber. The background stamping is a Tim Holtz script.
Some detail from the various elements:
Stained glass effect flower - Wire was twisted into a flower shape, and then dipped in the very top of the melt to gather up a very thing layer - very difficult and several attempts were required
Faux porcelain flowers - the first flower is cut from Tim Holtz Crafty Attic paper, and dipped, the second flower is layers of paper flowers with a paper rose also dipped into the liquid
Owl made from Mould - Agate effect into a memory frame - Stamping into the liquid on a craft sheet and rubbed over with perfect pearls
Image transfer - shrink plastic - faux soldering

On a different front, Dad came home on Friday from respite care in the nursing home, and the brilliant people at social services have put in place a package that allows him to stay at home, being cared for and monitored to see how thing go. Unfortunately my step-mother is still extremely ill, and we are hoping and praying that she makes a gradual recovery, and is able to join Dad at home again. A worrying time for all of us.
I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you.
Hugs,
