Autumn Colours - Lavinia

I've fallen in love with zentangle!

So, I was trying to figure out how to incorporate it into  'Autumn colours' for this months challenge.

What do you think?

I started off  by stamping and heat embossing, with copper, the glorious dancing fairies.

Then I drew in the 'beams' coming from their hands and feet.

Then came the tricky part, I had to cut a positive and negative mask! 

wow that took a while

Then I used a yellow distress ink to highlight the beams,

used the other mask and a stencil I had made and added the leaves and then the sky with more distress inks

then I had great fun deciding which zentangle patterns to use and filling the beams with them. 

I did highlight the fairies and beams with a white pencil, because before I did that everything seemed to merge together a bit. 

It seemed to work 

so that was fun :)
