Rustic (rusty) angel

Pretty sweet tag, huh?  I love shabby and rustic, though I haven't done much of it in the past couple years.

I  was inspired by this card by Ingvild Bolme for color and layout:

Supplies:

• Watercolor paper inked with DI in Peacock Feathers and Scattered Straw 
• Tim's Ledger Script stamp inked with his Mixed Media pad in Vintage Photo stamped randomly across the background
• Heidi Swapp stencil inked with Gathered Twigs DI then sprayed and slapped on top as a monorint
• White Liquitex gesso smeared around the edges then a layer of Distress Crackle Paint in Picket Fence added to a few spots with a thin-strip of an old giftcard. Later I touched up the Crackle because the Gathered Twigs bled in an unflattering manner... you know: pinkish-brown. Yucky.
• Twine was wrapped around my thrift-store bingo card score a few weeks ago.  
• The angel was another thrift-store find, at a different store.
• The flowers are from three sources: Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and the big auction (flea market) in Roseville, CA... Denio's!
• Stamen by Wilton
• Tim's Mini Holiday Greens cut the the gold pine boughs peeking out... cut from Tim's metallic kraft-core
• Doily is by Wilton, dipped in Vintage Photo and  Tarnished Brass Distress Stains. I then scrunched the doily to make it more of an oval to frame the angel.  (Up to this point, I planned to adhere this to a card... but I just couldn't.  I decided to add the remaining thrift twine as a hanging apparatus, and I'm totally pleased with this decision!)
