Springtime can not get here soon enough so I thought i would make a bit of my own!
There ended up so many layers on this piece,that I will try my best to remember the steps for you!
I only wish my camera had captured the colors better~as the pinks are more Coral and the background is more of a meld of soft greens and teals.
Guess,you will have to use your imagination here!
The first thing was to gesso front and back of my substrate. When dry I coated with Timeless chalky finish.
While my board was drying,I stamped out my images to use;some on card stock and others on Mulberry paper.
Some of the flowers as well as the dragonflies were painted in with a light wash of matching ink..
My lovely Lynne Perrella lady was stamped on the Mulberry paper and embossed with Wow! clear ep and heat set. Then I embossed lightly around the edges of the paper with VanillaWhite allowing a few
specks to fall on the image.
Up next, the background~
Layers of clear matte medium, DecoArt Weathered Wood Crackle,and Lindy's Starburst Sprays,and repeat the layers,at least 3 times, with some heat gun action in between, allowing the mediums to bubble up and cool down for texture.
My beautiful stamped flowers are from a set of stamps I won from Artistic Stamper- Love these so much! They are so full of Spring goodness!!
After my soft greens and teals were in place I added more embossing powders to the edges of the board as well as onto the side scrolls.
Next
tiny Prills were added,both to the bottom also a few here and there
around the sides and top, using Finnabair's gloss gel to hold them in place.
Time for pinks to frame up the teals. These sprays were poured onto the table and applied with a floppy paintbrush around the edges focusing on drippage from the top and covering the Prills on the bottom.
After that it was time to place my stamp images. I layered the flowers for extra depth then glued down the dragonflies as well.
The "Beautiful" label came at the end along with two fancy cut Butterflies to complete my Springtime Plaque.
Hoping my piece inspired a bit of Springtime for you!!
I can almost smell the flowers and feel the sun on my face already!
Namaste'

Well, you know I'm loving this. I have that same image. Thanks for putting a "spring" in my step, girlfriend.
How delightfully light and springy, Jackie - a welcome change from looking out my studio window at the 2 foot high rock-hard drifts! Many thanks....xo
Beautiful as always. I always love all the images you use. It was 56 here today. Gorgeous. Tomorrow snow.
I always enjoy your art. This piece is lovely. Ah spring! May it find us soon!!!
You've definitely got me hooked and believe it or not we had some lovely warm early spring sunshine today here in southern UK. Love your colours and layers. Xxxx
Such a beautiful creation, Jackie - so full of lovely texture. I love that Lynne Perrella lady. It's been a beautiful day here and this project has been the perfect end of it for me.xx
This is a gorgeous creation however as it isn't a canvas, layout or art journal page we can't accept it as an entry into More Than Words unfortunately. I've really enjoyed checking it out though - it's fabulous!
Oh wow Jackie ! This is wonderful! I love what you have created here and it brings spring mood to my """just - rain - outside - day""" this morning!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful art and how you created it!
Happy weekend my friend!

Oh, Jackie! I can feel the spring air when I look at this! I love all the texture and beautiful colors! Don't think you're getting much spring time weather this coming week! We actually had snow today! Hugs, but no sunshine!
Jackie, that texture is gorgeous! I had to look up "Prills" since I had no idea what it is. It looks so cute on your art piece. Like I said before: I'd LOVE to see you make something like this. I think I could learn a lot from you. Most of the materials you're mentioning are a mystery to me. It's so nice to see all these Springtime-posts on the blogs. I get the feeling everyone is longing for Spring to come :-) We had our first real spring day today, with sun shining all day long. Life is so much nicer then :-)
Wishing you a great sunshine-filled week! Hugs ♥
