Good Morning all and welcome to another new week.
Its the start of a new challenge over at Make My Monday
the theme this fortnight is
Lazy Summer Days
I found this fairy silhouette in my stash which i backed with acetate and then painted the back with starlight paints. The mica in the paints shines beautifully through the acetate. As ive done alot of beach scenes lately I wanted to think of different ways to spend a lazy summer day, and i think many of us love to lounge in the garden among the flowers and listen to the birds singing.
6x6 black card blank. White card embossed with flowers. I built up the starlight paints on the back of the acetate panel, i sponged a little of the sun colours around the outside of it for a sun halo. Once completely dry i added to the white panel with glue gel so that the light can get behind it and help with the stained glass effect. I found it better to build up thin layers of the paint.
I added some die cut leave and birds to the outside frame and a die cut dream. White gel pen highlights
i also added glitter glue to the fairy's wings
