Artbymiran FB Progressive Challenge

Okay, here's one just under the wire.  It's for the February FB Progessive Challenge at Artbymiran.  The beautiful image is called Gem and I received her for free because I played in January's challenge.  You can join in the challenge at anytime by purchasing the "Reserve Listing" in the artbymiran Etsy shop (at 50% off), but after that, as long as you enter the challenge, your next month's digi is for free. Cool!  I had a hard time deciding what colors to choose, but eventually went with blue.  She's colored with Copics with some Stickles on her diamond and matted with holographic and glitter paper for extra sparkle.  To add further shine I added gems by Jolee's Boutique and metallic swirls from Colorbok.

I didn't mean to wait 'til the last day.  Her hair and skin were colored for weeks but I gotta say, the dress intimidated me a bit.  Great practice and all in all, I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.

I'm also entering this in the Artbymiran ATG challenge, the Scrapbooker PhD Bling Challenge, the Simon Says Monday "B" is for (bling) challenge, Digi Galore It's All About Her, Fab 'n' Funky Focus on the Image, Crafting for All Seasons Girly Girls, 613 Avenue Create ATG/w optional Use Aquamarine and Eureka Stamps ATG.
