When I first read Dina's MIX165 Winging It challenge, my first thought was a CAS mixed media card with a lovely fairy stamp.
Ha!! This created so much mess that I can barely see my desk any more - but Christmas cards are more useful to me just now as I seem to have enough birthday cards for a couple of months.
Stamped the unbranded angel stamp on white card and a page from a Russian novel (for piecing the wings, to work with Lisa's WT challenge).
She's coloured with pencils, and a little Stickles added. When that was dry, I used MicroGlaze to protect the dress and keep it white while I sponged my background. First I used mesh tape and silver paint - when dry, I sponged with antique linen, tea dye and vintage photo. At the very end I went in with some scattered straw for areas that needed a little more. I decided to emboss the panel to add texture - after stamping with Gorgeous Grunge in the foreground. I also added some stencilled stars with the metallic rub-ons - but before I got round to using fixative, I managed to rub them into the embossing, so I added a little more ;-).
Base was kraft card embossed with a swirl in silver, and then swiped over with Vintage Photo distress stain. The plain silver was nice already, but since I made two cards I could afford to try staining one, and I liked it better.

Sabrina, I love the text on the angle wings, it really adds a whole new level of detail on this card. Super stunning angel you used too and that BG you created is just amazing. Another truly great piece of art you have created. It has a vintage feel too with the colors you chose. So detailed. Thank you for joining in and creating another amazing card for my challenge.
