This is a great sketch! I had my idea last night and put it together this morning. I paper pieced the wings using vellum embossed in gold and also pieced the dress. The panels are all edged in gold marker and the sentiment is a vellum one that I attached to a piece of green mulberry like paper.

Beautiful, Polly! I could have picked this out of a line-up as a Polly card, it's full of your character and quirky spirit - love those wings and all the gold touches, and especially the sentiment!

Oh for sure, this is a Polly card! Because it is so COOL! WOW! Your little lady has such a look on her face, it is memsmerizing! GREAT use of the vellum for the wings and the sentiment!!! The little dragonflies look so whimsical and are perfect with the sketch. Love your choice of sentiment too! LOVE your ART, girly!

Polly, I envy you(in a good way). : ) When I look at a gallery I can pick out a "Polly card" immediately...you have a wonderful, distinctive style. This card is precious with the little angel and her embossed vellum wings. Like a woodland fairy in her fern dress.

Like the others said, this is a true Polly card. I love your style and wish I could create something like this! The paper piecing is perfectly done and is beautiful!
