The background is layered with papers, then I painted and wiped some off, stamped and then I added the fae over a piece of vintage doily. When it was done the fae image looked a bit blah so I took my white charcoal pencil and did some highlighting and I just love the effect.
This is a gift for someone in my ECS group :)
I like it so much I am going to make another one, with one of her faery friends.
