YOU ARE A GIFT {Art by Miran July 2016 FB Progressive Challenge}

{YOU ARE A GIFT ...}

Hope all of you are keeping well and having loads of creative fun. 

I am here with a card for the Art by Mi Ran's Facebook Progressive Challenge (July 2016)  and have used this beautiful girl called Vannessa the Teacher, created by the talented Mi Ran especially for this Progressive Challenge. She is definitely a very friendly and well educated little teacher.
Do yourself a favour and hop over to Mi Ran's Etsy shop and check out her
awesome digi creations, here. You can purchase VANNESSA THE TEACHER here.

The image has been coloured in Photoshop. The sentiments are from Paulette {Create with TLC} . The design papers and brads are from my stash. The flowers and folded corner have been created with punches and the crochet flower centers have been made for me once again by a very dear friend.
