Gilded Angel Wings

 Hi all and welcome to another week of the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. This week the challenge is glossy! From glossy accents to clear embossing powder, gloss cardstock to shiny domed embellishments there is a lot of gloss power around. This week we encourage you to find some glossy product and let it inspire your creation.

 The glossy thoughts had me thinking of gilded angel wings and what better way to dip them in gold than to use the glossy accents and some beautiful halo gold glitter from Stampendous.

The wings were my first steps and to create them I had a several step process:

1. I cut a lot of feathers from vellum.  I layered the vellum in two sheets and cut bunches of feathers in varying sizes.

2.  Then I poured the glitter into the top of the glitter.

3.  I coated the tips with glossy accents.

4. Dipped them into the glitter.

5. Set them aside and repeated the process. :)

Here is what my desktop looked like:

I put them on a sheet of acetate in case there was any extra glossy accents and I needed to pull them  up after they dried.

Next I tried to find just the right piece to put together with my wings. 

I tried a variety of pieces in my wings and the lion jumped out at me.  He received a touch up with gold ink to bring out some of his natural highlights. :)

The old doorplate was in my stash and I was thrilled he fit on the opening for the door handle.   The diamond buttons fit perfectly in the openings for the screws.  I brushed them and the old door plate with touches of the same gold shimmery ink.

My last touch was to add a few accents to the bottom covered in the gold ink and dangled form a chain from my bottom decoration.

I have this hanging on a branch in the corner of my craft room and I love how he looks.  He reminds me of Aslan the Lion in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
