Security call for my fairy godmother

 

Today I'm joining Neet (whose blog is Hickydorums) at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme is It must have wings.

 This is my fairy godmother.  She obviously has wings.  The "security call" refers to the background, which consists entirely of security envelopes.  Detail shots are below. 

I'm having a terrible time with PhotoShop.  It shuts down every time I try to crop the full image or add my watermark.  Not sure why that's happening, but I have shut the program down and logged off at least a dozen times.  Nothing worked, so that is why you get the added white space.  I can't crop the original scan.  I had planned to crop the girl's shoes and show she was standing on one of the envelopes, but PS wouldn't let me.

I started with pieces of four security envelopes, which I glued in place.  I stamped wings from a dragonfly stamp, then fussy cut the wings.  I glued them in place, then added the TH paper doll on top (second detail).  I then computer generated the words and outlined them in black dye ink (first detail).  I outlined the entire image using a black Posca pen, although the scanner cut the top off.

Thanks for dropping by today. I am thrilled you stopped by and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey and hopefully even share your own interpretation of It must have wings.
