GIVE THANKS {Art by Miran Challenge 16}

{Guest DT Project for Art by Miran's Challenge 16}
  
Art by Miran is launching their 16th 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 16th challenge.

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

I have used this cute girl called MISS APPLE created by the talented Mi Ran.  She looks like she is on her way home from picking some lovely juicy apples. Do yourself a favour and hop over to Mi Ran's Etsy shop and check out her awesome digi creations, here. You can purchase MISS APPLE here.

The image has been coloured with Derwent H2O water colour pencils and a pencil blender. The sentiment is from Paulette {Create with TLC} and has been coloured with dry chalks and pencils. The design papers, flat pearls, photo turns and brads are from my stash.

    8. Your cards are always a virtual all you can eat buffet. The image is adorable however it's all your sweet embellishments and layouts that really steal the show. Hoping you have a fine, fun day, full of glorious giggles, with buckets of blessings from Heaven as you work, and play.

    10. I cannot thank you enough for playing along with my Dream Team and me on the launch of our new ATG challenge blog!

      About your card... Desire... what can I say that hasn't been said before? Gorgeous! I cannot get over how you pay so much attention to all the little details to your cards! I'm thinking you're like me and pretty much make a minimum of one card a day and I'm always in awe that your cards always look like you've spent hours creating them. Fantabulous! I love the sentiment! Details, details, details... just love them! What? You also are making a mosaic stool!?! GF! What can you NOT do!?! :) It's obviously going to be gorgeous as well! I love those great October colors! xx

      Again, thanks for joining us for our current ATG challenge. Hope to see you again and good luck!

    12. I love that you are using different coloring media on your projects. The results are fabulous. Your oval and pearl embellishments remind me of cameos. I think you should be crowned the embellishment queen. :)

      Love your mosaic stool. Wow. Very artistic and beautiful.

      Blessing hugs,
