Thought I would show you a close up of her, isn't she just fab?!  As always I have coloured the whole scene in with my Copics.  

Make It Crafty & Little Miss Muffet have created a blog especially for this special launch and are challenging everybody to have a go at creating a scene with the new elements so please do hop on over to The Graffiti Party as they are offering a FREEBIE pack.  How fab is that?!

I'll be entering my project into the following challenges :
