Glimmer and glitz

I'm still playing with the "sculpture paper" as detailed in previous posts. This is the last piece I made. This time in shades of green with copper highlights. I like the way it looks in different lights and at different angles.
I loosely followed the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday incorporating the folded frame as inspired by Tuesday Morning Sketches. I did adapt the normal square somewhat.

The copper glimmer mist came out to give a sheen to some pale jade green/turquoise CS. This was teamed up with some copper pearlised CS to make the card and the folded frame etc.
The sculpture paper was stuck on the copper CS base before the jade/turquoise green that I had cut 2 apertures from.

The folded frame is secured with copper brads and turquoise dew drops



The image is the "Jewelled Fairy" from Delicious Doodles. Coloured using promarkers with some pearlised paints to add some shimmer and a touch of glitter dust to the wings.







Some copper corner peeloffs with more turquoise and copper dewdrops top and bottom.
