Here is my project for this months challenge

I chose this stunning image from Beccy's place.

With this beautiful sentiment

I colored them in with my tri blend markers

I clored certain parts of the image several times and 

 cute them out . The leaves and poinsettias have several layers

I also used some accent glaze  and some small rhinestones for added embellishment.

I know this is said alot but its more stunning in person than in the photo.

I used some glittery card stack that I have had for years

The fun fold is a triple diamond from Mixed up Crats on youtube.
