BLESSED {ABM Challenge 13}

{Guest DT Project for Art by Miran's Challenge 13}

  

Art by Miran is launching their 13th challenge today. All their challenges are always ANYTHING GOES as long as your project has a hand coloured image. So hop over here to have a look at their 13th challenge.

Also visit Mi Ran's Showcase blog {Art by Miran} here, for some more inspiration.

I have used this cute little girl created by the talented Mi Ran.  She looks already for the cold weather. Do yourself a favour and hop over to Mi Ran's Etsy shop and check out her awesome digi creations, here. You can purchase her here.

The image has been coloured with Derwent H2O water colour pencils and a pencil blender which I have used for the first time. I have also used a white paint marker for the white highlights. The sentiment is from Paulette {Create with TLC} and can be purchased here.  The tree embellishments have been created with folded tag punches. the design papers are from Fabscrabs and BoBunny.  The bling and buttons are from my stash.

Tutorial for folding the tiers for the trees.  These can also be used as corner embellishments:
