The Craft Garden November challenge

 Its a photo inspiration theme this time.

I wanted to use my gorgeous Lavinia fairies for this one, so I masked off a square, and the moon before inking up the background using dusty concord and black soot distress inks. Whilst the mat was in place I misted the square with pearl glimmer mist. Once the ink was dry  I stamped the fairy using versafine ink, and then stamped the foliage, ghosting some of it to create a misty feel to the background.

Supplies: 
Sentiment: 
Colouring medium: Distress inks
Papers:
 Embellishments: 
Tools:
