Just when it is bitterly cold and the country is covered in snow, I want to think of warmer weather and sipping a minty drink while lazily waving a fan to and fro.....dreaming lol!
Starting with a sturdy piece of Vellum I used Just Rite's Small Oval Wood Stamper with Font. to randomly stamp and wet emboss with white embossing powder. Once heat set, I colored each image using Prisma colored pencils. After each flower pattern was colored I reversed the sheet and dry embossed the large purple flower to give the paper some dimension. Next I called the Scor-Pal into action and scored the vellum on each inch marking. Then I flipped the paper and scored on each 1/2" marking. Next came the process of folding "mountains and valleys" using the bone folder to set the creases. A "million" seed pearls were glued randomly among the floral images and white/crystal stickles was used to highlight the top edge and each 'mountain and valley'. The bottom was gathered and tied with a lavender silk ribbon and double bow (May Arts). I added a few ribbon roses and strings of pearls to complete the fan.
I hope you enjoy and can think about warmer weather too while imagining yourself using a fan like this one.
Just perfect. Stunning, elegant.
