CHRISTMAS {Art by Mi Ran Showcase Blog}

{DT Project for Art by Miran}

Our theme for November is NON CHRISTMAS COLOURS.

One has to pinch oneself to realise it is already November 2014 with only a few to Christmas. Where has 2014 gone too?  But at least I managed to tick of another Christmas card, thanks to this cutie pie created by Mi Ran. She is called  ELFIE ELIZABETH.  Elfie looks like she is so excited to hand out those lovely gifts. Do yourself a favour and hop over to Mi Ran's Etsy shop and check out her awesome digi creations, here.  You can purchase ELFIE ELIZABETH here

The folded pin wheels have been created with scalloped square punches.  She has been coloured with Copics.  I have decided to use non traditional Christmas colours to go with ABM's theme for November. Hope you like the aqua and pink colours. The sentiment is from Paulette {Create with TLC}.  The design papers, bling and brads are from my stash.
