I Believe!

Yes, I really do believe in Faeries!!!!  There I said it :D  No doubt there are those out there who would say that I am as mad as a box of frogs but never mind.  *The Craft Barn* have started to sell the gorgeous and exquisite  Lavinia stamps which I love and we are all playing with them this week :D  I have made up a little hanging with my selection.  I didn't turn out anywhere near what I wanted though but I hope you like it.  My favourite part is the wings which are drying on the line haha!  This picture really doesn't do the piece justice as it just about glows, sorry!!!

For the background I made coloured 'waves' but using a piece of copy paper cut with a wiggly ine as a guide, adding the different Kaleidacolor Inks with a sponge. Then I add some colour through some sequin waste (Fresco Guacamole). Taking Archival Ink in Cobalt I stamped the Acorn House and Wings onto some card and the Wings, Fairies and 'Believe' onto tissue paper. These were gently torn out and attached to the canvas with Multi-Medium. I then went over the whole board with the multi medium.  The tissue paper itself won't show then.  The Acorn House was coloured with Inktense pencils and then the house and the wings (on the card) were covered with clear glitter. I cut out the house & wings and glued in place before adding some Treasure Gold around the edges and on the house. Some wire was attached to hang the picture by.
