Earthangel for a few Challenges!

Hi bloggers, I'm back again with another Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge inspired card. I loved this sketch so much, I wanted to do it again!

So here is the sketch as I didn't have time to post it before:
And here is my take:


I have used bg papers by My Minds Eye called Quite Contrary, and some pink bazzill. I used Labels 1 stamp set from WMS in Memento Tuxedo Black and cut a label in pink bazzill, then coloured it with a couple of darker shades of pink promarkers.

I then stamped and paper pieced the angel and her wings and stamped the little stars from the set onto the label in Memento Rich Cocoa.

Adhered the angel to the label, and fancied adding a bit of bling - I found that the tiny stars in the Papermania gem packs are the PERFECT FIT into the hollow star (or is it a tiny flower?) anyhow, it fits like a dream!

I coloured her face and added shading with my promarkers.



Then stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black onto 3 different coloured papers, and then broke my stamp :-( It's now in 3 bits.


I distressed all around the edges in Versamagic Sage chalk ink and Pink Petunia.

I couldn't resist adding some green gems to the corners as a final gesture!

I am entering this card into a few challenges:
