Stealing the Fairy's Crown



I have created this Triptych card for the Stampotique Designers Challenge.  To say that I agonised over it would be an understatement.  The rules of the challenge this week only allow the use of Stampotique stamps and I found it really tough to get any theme. 

Some hours later (having distractedly driven the children about whilst still trying to work out how to meet the challenge), I came up with my design (sorry kids!!).  

I used Artquest paints which are available in wonderful duo and interference palettes as well as pearlescent and metallic.  They blend beautifully and are affected by the colour of the paper you use them on.  However, as they are so soft, they are tricky to work on top of without marking the finish you have created.

I hope the end result captures the fairy world of glimmer and shimmer I was hoping to achieve.
