Hex Yewglow

When checking out the blogs of my new Sweet Pea DT sisters I came across on Alex's blog a place where you could find your fairy name. I thought I would give it a try since I adore fairies.  When I put my name in it it came up with this:

Your fairy is called Hex Yewglow
She is a weird enchantress.
She lives in places hexed and tainted by black magic.
She is only seen in the light of a full moon.
She wears black feathers and rose petals. She has russet-coloured wings like a brightly coloured butterfly.


So I decided to look through my Sweet Pea Stamps to create Hex Yewglow and this is what I came up with!
I used ©ching chou kuik's Kimono Butterfly Mermaid, sheet 19, plate 54 as my image and changed her from a mermaid to part bird I guess by adding the black feathers to her tail.  I colored her with copics and added a bit of stickles and highlighted the moon with glossy accents.  My signature background was made with chalk.  I then completed the card with a few more feathers, some sweet roses and a couple of russet winged butterflies.  To create the spirals by the flowers I wrapped black wire around a tiny paint brush.  A bow tied the project off. I think she turned out pretty much like my fairy name, what do you think?
Copics:
Moon: Y21, Y26, R81, R85
Cumber-bun:C1, C5, C7, C9
Dress: RV04, RV11, RV13, R81
Branch: YG95, YG97, YG99
Wings: C5, C7, C9, 100, R02, E95, E97, YR04
