Fairytales and Fantasy

I've been having a lovely inky bank holiday weekend and I've made this card for the first challenge from Sir Stampalot which has a theme of 'Fantasy'



The background is brayered using my favourite big & juicy inkpad - Mountain Meadow, I love the colours and use it all the time. The stamps are from various Elusive Images themeplates. I've tried using a sakura stardust pen for the highlights on the trees, dragonflies and fairy wings. I've used some white souffle highlights on the blossom. The unicorn, toadstools and mushrooms are stamped on to card coloured with assorted starburst stains and moonshadow inks and then decoupaged to give the card a little more depth. I've edged it with a gold pentouch pen and then matted it onto some black tapestry card.
Also for the following challenges:
Crafts and Me - Fairies or Wings
Something Completely Different - 'w' is for ... in this case wings
Allsorts - No DP's

Thanks for looking
Claire xx
