Dreaming of Castles...

 Today I have a beautiful card to share that was so much fun to make which I made specifically for the Lavinia Challenge - #33 - Anything Goes.  I hope you enjoy....

 I started off by making the background. For some reason I was feeling green so I got out my Marabu Alcohol Inks and their fun new glitter inks and had a go at them. Further down there is a photo of the glitter inks and what they look like reflecting in the light when tilted to and fro.  The shine is amazing IRL.

After the background had dried I started stamping... It was all stamped using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink...my all-time favorite black ink. So I began with the Luna Lights, Far World Castle and Pink Orbs (the little circles on the bottom and side).   I used paint pens to extend the landscape around the castle and stamped a couple of the trees from the Tree Scene set. I then stamped the Dragon Mini and finished off with the Stars 1 Mini stamp filling in the open spaces.  I used both a black and white paint pen to add little details here and there.

Before the inks had a chance to dry I dusted the surface with the Sea Foam Fairy Hugs Powder which you can see in the above photo. The blob looking areas are the Glitter AI from Marabu - looks strange here but IRL it adds a lovely shimmer to the finished card.  

And there you have it....I hope you enjoy this card.
