Jean is our hostess this week for the Troubled Waters Teapot Tuesday challenge. She's provided us with a beautiful picture by Gaugin for inspiration; I'd love to revisit the picture, but for this I just took the warm colours from it for my fairy. I've already sent this to Vicki. It's the card that preceded my Post-It Note fairy card - the starry fairy mask that I used on that was the leftovers of this. This was hard to get a good photo - one that showed the shiny stars lost the lovely outline of the foliage. You know how it goes...
Background sponged with distress inks - chipped sapphire, wilted violet, stormy sky, salty ocean.
TCW stencil laid over with the mask still in position and I used gold spray paint for the stars.
Add a sentiment from Verve's New Mercies, and foliage from TCP's Winter Style, stamped in gold, then with bronze and gold Perfect Pearls dusted over and finally outlined in white.
Image coloured with Polychromos pencils, SN clear glitter on wings. The foreground wings are cut out as far as her dress, and popped up on foam after shaping, with a second stamped and coloured pair stuck underneath.
Added Stickles, then edged the card front with narrow double-sided tape and buffed assorted colours of glitter on.

What an extraordinary fairy and scene- right down to the her body language. The leaves outlined in white really add a great aspect to the card. There are so many little details that are fabulous - too many to list! You da bomb, Sabrina!
