Happy Little Stampers November 2018 CAS Challenge

Good evening, guys

Honestly, where are these months going?  Can you believe it's time for more new challenges over at Happy Little Stampers?! 

The Watercolour challenge is already up and running, today is the turn of the CAS challenge, and the rest of the regular challenges will follow over the next few days. 

So, for this month's CAS challenge, here's the cue card...

I will admit, I did struggle with a limited stash for this 'fantasy' theme, but I got there in the end and combined some bits in my stash with a sentiment from Happy Little Stampers...

This fairy stamp is from a set that's been in my stash for many years.  I wanted the silhouette to be the main focus so only added a small amount of colour.  I did this by masking off the bottom and right edges of my card front and gently faded out the blend of two Distress Inks.  I removed the masks and stamped the fairy and sentiment, using my MISTI to ensure great coverage.  To create the stars I masked off a section at the top of the card using post-it notes which had been cut with curves, then repeatedly stamped a small star cluster stamp using VersaMark to fill the space and heat embossed in silver.

Materials used:

• Ink: Distress Ink - Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron; Versafine - Onyx Black; VersaMark
• Stamps: Lindsay Mason - Magic Happens; Happy Little Stampers - Thinking of You; Stars from free 'Away in a Manger' set free with Creative Stamping magazine
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Silver

There is more inspiration for this challenge from my fabulous teamies over at the main challenge blog, here.  And plenty of time to link up with this challenge and the rest of the HLS November challenges, as the linkies will be open until the end of the month.
