UK Myths & Legends - International Art & Soul Challenge #71

Hey all,

So the challenge #71 themed UK Myths & Legends was a challenge but I loved it as it, it's definitely why we all participate in challenges, right??

So I went to Google, lol, I just wasn't sure what to do, I know I wanted something different. So I found a place located in Scotland that is known for inhabiting mythical Fairies, Hobbits and other little creatures in that realm.
The place I am talking about is known as Fairy Glen, Isle of Skye. This place is a fun location where you can visit and walk through the lush green acres of this land with hills, waterfalls, and ponds that are just breathtaking. From the images I've seen within the many articles I read I would believe that fairies do live here, it so peaceful and quaint. There is also a peak which is known as Castle Ewan, from the article I read it is a little bit of a rocky climb but when you reach the top you are amazed at the beautiful view that surrounds you, and you might be able to spot a fairy or two
.
Here are a few photos of the Fairy Glen, Isle of Skye, along with my artistic insight on this magical place I would love to visit one day.

Here is my project I created for this super fun challenge - Everything I used I had in my stash already. I used G45 Once Upon a Springtime Collection, Creative Embellishment chipboards I bought last year, and the flowers were in my flower bin from years past I've been accumulating. LOL

To create my fairies I first applied gesso, and then added some TH distress paints, after they dried I applied glitter and stickles around the wings to make the sparkle. I also used Stampendous Fran-tage Embossing on their lil'outfits to make them sparkly.
