{A FEELING OF CHRISTMAS}
A new Challenge 20 is up and running over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends . I have used this beautiful girl called CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT sponsored by LEMONSHORTBREAD and you can purchase her here.
The flower embellishments have been created with a circle punch and crochet flowers created for me by a very special and dear friend.

The image has been coloured with Copics and dry chalks. The design papers, brads, bling and stars are from my stash.
The sentiment is from Paulette {Create with TLC}.
