Basic Grey Challenges #33 ~ Wings and a bit of a catch up!!!!

So, I'm very late posting my BasicGrey team make... seems to be a little bit of a pattern of mine lately...

The challenge this fortnight is

WINGS

So, we would love to see some Butterflies, Fairies, Angels, Birds, or even (if you are feeling brave) Insects!

I opted for birds, christmassy birds, they have been paper pieced and raised upon the stamped sentiment.

The swirly sprig I have stamped with distress inks to keep it subtle. I then added a few ornaments which have been lovingly glittered! Then finished with a velvet ribbon, Basic Grey button and a little twine!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: BasicGrey: figgy;

Stamps: PapertreyInk: Christmas Friends;

Ink: Archival: black; Ranger: distress inks: pumice stone; walnut stain(I think);

Dies: Spellbinders nestabilites: label fourteen; Fiskars: border punch;

Other: Stickles; Prima: lace; BG: buttons; natural hemp twine; velvet ribbon; 3D foam;

I have based my card on the wonderful get sketchy sketch #64

I wish the pictures would show just how sparkly everything is, I have sprayed the patterned papers with glimmer mist, applied a very generous amount of stickles to the tree and ground! Ella comes with the fab sentiment and the cutest little penguin!!!
